A look back at four decades of Britain's design heritage. Designing the 80s. The third programme recalls some of the design icons of the 1980s - a decade characterised by yuppies, shoulder pads and excess. Designer Paul Smith 's creations, alongside The Face magazine, exemplified the new emphasis on style, while Richard Rogers 's Lloyd's building towered over London and consumers invested in the status symbols of the era - the filofax, Porsche 911, Sony Walkman and Amstrad computer. Contributors include Janet Street Porter ,
Jason Barlow , James Dyson , Alan Sugar and Christopher Frayling. Narrated by Penelope Keith.
Director Louise Hooper ; Series producer Mary Sackville West
