I'm So Not Over It

Esyllt In Paris (and The March 1980 Syndrome)

After you've taken-in this French-themed episode, in all its Parisian glory, you're almost certainly going to want to spin-back and check-out our edition all about July 1983 (CAT Scans) - in which we discuss Esyllt's previous visit to Paris. It's safe to say that in today's episode, Esyllt does not succumb to the dreaded Paris Syndrome - her expectations being so low, the only way was up.


And if you're keen to dig through the archive for further French content, the Channel Tunnel is dealt with as part of July 1987 (with Dan Thomas).


We do have time to tackle a month in history too - with Gareth Gwynn presenting his favourite moments from March 1980. If you want to hear a "young" Tony Blackburn "on" "Radio Caroline", the 1977 K-Tel record is here.


(Also, sorry this episode is out a little late but, on the plus side, it's going to give us a chance to see what happens to the numbers when we release one on a Saturday!)

  • June 1987 (Walls and Fences)

    22:46|
    The Berlin Wall doesn't come down in June 1987, but Ronald Reagan's speech Gareh Gwynn a reason to search eBay for chunks of the wall while Esyllt Sears remains convinced she can spot a jockey on-sight. A more useful skill than you'd expect.

    24:28|
    You join us in Newquay, Cornwall, where we find ourselves at the Celtic Media Festival/Awards. As such, there's a little bit of June 1995 chat, but this is manily about what made a classic '90s UK holiday.

  • June 1993 (Holbeck Hall Fall)

    25:04|

You can let us know your holiday memories through Instagram too - the advantage to social media being you get to see the post about this and hear the theme tune from The Holiday Programme too.Anyway, back to June 1993, and one group of people who had a holiday to remember would be those who planned a stay Holbeck Hall Hoel in Scarborough, only to find it had fallen into the sea. In addition to coastal erosion we discuss the storms of the 90s and the first train to travel through the channel tunnel.

  • May 1978 (Unsubscribe)

    22:42|
    A more sensible title for this episode would have been "Spam", but I'm not going to risk it getting algorithmically marked, blocked and binned - so I've gone for something else. May 1978 saw the first ever unwanted mass-email and the first ever early May Bank Holiday in the UK which was, surprisingly, similarly poorly received - and all this happened to a backdrop of Boney M.There's loads of additional viewing/listening for this one, so once you've finished, feel free to get stuck-in to the following...* The full story of Charlie Chaplin's grave was covered in our March 1978 episode.* For more on Boney M check out our interview with writer and star of the Mary's Boy Child video - the very funny Anna Jordan.* And if you want to see people moaning about being given a day off, check out this BBC video of the first May Day Bank Holiday. The Union Jack pinny/PVC Mac combo will shortly be available in the I'm So Not Over It shop.Send us spam (actually, don't do that) to imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
  • May 1981 with MADELEINE BRETTINGHAM! (Live from Machynlleth Comedy Festival)

    44:30|
    Esyllt Sears tackles May 1981, and a good deal more, with the fantastic stand-up comedian and comedy writer MADELEINE BRETTINGHAM (Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Late Night Lycett and loads more), live at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival. The month in question brings us Vogue and Cats but we also learn about Madeleine's work on Harry Hill's TV Burp well as how she found out about the death of Diana on the way to Amsterdam and welcomed in the New Millennium on Copacobana Beach.Follow Madeleine on Instagram, BlueSky or sign-up for her very funny Substack.Get in touch by email on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
  • May 1998 (Euro and Eurovision)

    25:26|
    May 1998 was all about Birmingham - with the G8 and Eurovision both happening in the city in the same month - leading to resources (and, presumably, glitter) being shared. Gareth Gwynn runs through the details of both events plus the botched minting of the first euro coins, while Esyllt Sears lays down some ground rules about when you can and can't approach her on a train to talk about losing your virginity.Check out Eyllt's appearence on Crushed with Margaret Cabourn-Smith.Get in touch by email on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.
