CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The stick-in-the-muds are usually correct. We're told to 'embrace change' and'step forwards,' but the thing about going forwards is that we have no idea where it will end. The redoubtable Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett) raises a smile at the mention of'progress' like a woman with a kipper in the washing basket, both disgusted, cross, and incredulous all at once. In Call The Midwife (BBC), she confronted naive and idealistic Pupil Midwife Rosalind Clifford (Natalie Quarry) and gave her a piece of her mind.

To anyone who was young in the 80s, say Tony Hadley and they'll instantly recall him as the zenith of his Spandau Ballet fame, ruffled shirts, satin suits, costume jewelry, and cantilevered hair. Speak to the guy himself, and he's mortified by the prospect of being forced into a pair of leather trousers for the first time ever. "There's nothing worse than seeing people from a certain decade who are 50, 60, or 70 years old, who are still dressed as if they were teenagers.' He shudders at the embarrassment.' I think you have to age gracefully.' Take a look at Robert Palmer, he was a cool, a sort of gentleman rocker. I like it.'

Tony Hadley, 62, guitarist and former Spandau Ballet actor, was on the street where I grew up

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 2, 2022
I lived near Percy Circus in central London, which was essentially a roundabout with a green in the middle, until I married my first wife, aged 22. By that time, I was in Spandau Ballet, so I was spending a lot of my time on the road. I was rolling in it as soon as Spandau was on Top Of The Pops, but it doesn't work like that - I still had to borrow 20 quid from Mum and Dad if I was meeting my friends at the pub for a drink. Josephine and father Patrick, my mother, had three bedrooms. I was one of three children - Lee, my older brother, Steve, and myself - all grew up in a bedroom with my brother. My Islington youth was very different from today's Islington. Any of the neighbouring families would use the Merlin Street washing sinks, but we're lucky that Dad had a bathroom built in the house. Dad joined the RAF at the age of 16, and during the war, he dropped bombs on the Lancaster bombers that were flying across the Channel. He joined the Daily Mail as an electrical engineer, earning good money. I'd pop down to Fleet Street to visit him in the machine room - no one was worried about health and safety back then.
