Really really really young Steve and Andy McDonald

[Nick]

Obviously YouTube's full of old Coronation Street clips from here and there, but few as much fun to watch as this ramdomly-selected clip of a really really really young Steve and Andy McDonald thesp-kicking the shit out of each other.

MARVEL at the period detail! NOTICE the rolled-up jeans! REMEMBER Steve's old hairline!

PLUS! Cameo appearance from Liz's old bubble perm, and Liz.

Look at the notice board behind Andy - who on earth is that in a yellow leotard with the number 22 on them? Are they male or female? And is Andy a red and Steve a blue?

If Steve looked like that now he'd be signed up for Triga quicker than you can say scally jizz.

It's a good reminder that Liz wasn't always a fabulous slapper; once she was a put-upon army wife. Obviously she is eighteen times better now she's a whore.

[pauliepoos]

I've just watched it again and there's so much more detail I didn't realise the first time.

Whoever can name the recording artistes on the poster in the top left corner of the door will win a surprise prize.

(It's not Yazz)

*squints*

Is it Five Star?

Edit - Now that I've paused and squinted more, I agree with the one below me, it could well be Color Me Badd.

[Nick]

The Pasadenas?

Color Me Badd?

I like the fact that every soap teenage boy since the dawn of time has had a pair of boxing gloves on display somewhere in his room.

[jetsetwilly]

I bet David Platt hasn't. He'll have a pair of arm length velvet gloves with a diamante bracelet to match.

You sure it's not Yazz? It would fit the time scale.


Otherwise, I don't remember Nick Kamen being blonde.

[pauliepoos]

There is a poster of Yazz on the door, but not in the top left hand corner (above the dartboard).

I'll give you a clue: two late 80s early 90s acts who teamed up for a charity record in 1990 (and also appeared together on the best Christmas charity record ever in 1989).

[pauliepoos]

Nope. Close, but no cigar.

[schmindie]

I'm paused at 1.38s, staring and staring at the screen. Part of me says Bros, part says Communards... the big hair suggests either Marilyn or one of the wifeys out of Bananarama....

I officially give up until you give more clues.

A clue for everyone:

I wondered about Bros. But it isn't.

[Sarah]

The guy with the square hair makes me think it's D-Mob and Cathy Dennis.

[schmindie]

Big Fun and Cathy Dennis?

[pauliepoos]

Big Fun is right, but it's another flame haired siren they recorded with.

[schmindie]

Sonia!

[pauliepoos]

That was like pulling teeth.

[schmindie]

As you can see, if I can't guess something outright, I'll just go through the list until I get there.
