“What’s for tea?” “I thought tonight we’d just have….” “Ohh cool!” I’ve put together a video about grilled, baked, heated up, fried, and microwaved “food”. Welcome back to 80s convenience.

We've all have those songs that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up in the first second. This is one of mine - instrumental version - the lyrics didn't fit! I hope I did it justice. Food and drink from 1981...

The British shopping centres of the 1980s... Who needs flashy American malls when you can have Spud u Like and Mothercare? Here's another slice of retro kitsch pointlessness....

What was pretty bad by today's eating out standards, but actually brilliant back then? I made a video about it.

Partridge: James has made over 300 videos with 80s adverts, what does that say to you? Tony Hayers: There's too many of them? Partridge: That's one way of looking at it, another way of looking at it is, people like them, let's make some more of them. Back of the net...

My retro videos would be nothing if I didn't have Tunes to edit to.... Get well soon, 80s advertising-style.

I made a saucy little video, but I may have spread myself a bit thin. This one was a lot of fun to make. Welcome to crackers, sauces, spreads, and more.

I tried to make something a little different. It's all about the sounds I've edited together - see if this brings back memories for you. Welcome back to an 80s childhood on a perfect Saturday.

It’s the one thing I love to make more than anything - I wish I could make a living out of doing this. I’m so ready to do something totally fresh.

People seem to like this one I made - back in the Twitter days it had something like 200k views, which I totally didn't expect. Welcome to London, circa 1988-1990. Don't touch that dial...

Hey Mikey, he likes it! This is for all you Gen X Americans - I tried to include as many classics from the 70s and 80s. I know....lots missing, but a few for you to say, "Oh yeah, I remember this one!" #USA #America #1970s #1980s

I'm not sure what happened when 1989 became 1990 in the world of TV commercials, but in the US at least, it's almost like they discovered a whole new range of special effects. I'm fascinated by aesthetics and creative treatment, so I made this 1990 video. #USA #90s #1990s

Sorry A380, you’ll never be as grand as The Queen of the skies. Here’s my tribute.

I’m not part of this group, but I make retro videos for fun and I figured a few Americans might enjoy a flashback- here’s what I made
