In this episode, Rewind goes back to 1986. It was the year of blockbuster movies – Top Gun, The Jewel of the Nile and Highlander – and when Big Country, The Communards and Madonna were all riding high in the charts. While Scotland’s national football team went to Mexico to compete in the World Cup, Edinburgh hosted the Commonwealth Games, and a new Scottish hero was born in athlete Liz Lynch – soon to be McColgan. But it was a year that also saw the demise of Scotland’s steel industry and when thousands of teachers went on strike across the country. On the small screen, Billy Connolly hosted the first ever Comic Relief and we got to know the residents of Erinsborough as Aussie soap Neighbours made its debut on British TV.
