It was the year of the miners' strike; a conflict that saw Britain embroiled in a bitter industrial dispute as Margaret Thatcher took on Union leader Arthur Scargill.Meanwhile our political figures were on the receiving end of the rudest, most irreverent comedy series we'd ever seen on mainstream television with the creation of Spitting Image.It was the year when alternative comedy burst into the mainstream, with cult hits like The Young Ones and Alas Smith And Ones now battling it out in the TV schedules with more mainstream shows like Russ Abbott's Madhouse.It was also the year the nation mourned the passing of two comedy greats - Eric Morecambe and Tommy Cooper.
