It appears, after a thorough investigation of the flat, that this time I’m a fairly normal young woman of the eighties. Yes, I seem to have many bright, flamboyant – sometimes bordering on weird – clothes filling my wardrobe, but from what I know of the fashion of the time, they’re probably quite tame. There’s lots of shoulder pads in my tops and jackets, a few pairs of leg warmers in my sock drawer, some nasty stonewashed jeans in my wardrobe – some oversized and baggy, and some skintight. But it’s only when I come across the pink puffball skirt that I let out a gasp of horror.

‘No way, Jo-Jo!’ I promise myself. ‘If there’s one thing I can guarantee while I’m here, this version of you definitely won’t be wearing that monstrosity!’

My taste in music seems to be quite varied. On my shelf of cassette tapes I have some pure pop: Duran Duran, Wham, and Madonna – Ellie would be proud – mixed with Rock Gods Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Simple Minds. I’m just about to put one of the cassette tapes into the player in the kitchen when a phone rings somewhere. Now where did I see it? Yes, in the little hallway at the top of the stairs. The little phone ringing merrily on the hall table is red, with push buttons. At least we’ve moved on from the old-fashioned Trimphone that Penny owned in 1977. I watched her dialling on it a number of times, and wondered how anyone had the inclination to actually speak by the time they eventually got through, after turning the dial ninety degrees after each digit.

‘Hello?’ I say hesitantly into the receiver.

‘Jo-Jo!’ the spritely voice sings. ‘It’s me. Make sure your ass is looking good and down at the bottom of your stairs in fifteen minutes sharp! We’ve got a story – I’m picking you up!’

‘But I thought you had a date tonight, Ellie? With a hot dancer?’

‘Sod the dancer! This is an even hotter story, and me and you are gonna get the scoop!’
