British Gen Xer who 100% will have the theme tune in her head for the rest of the day here! 🙋‍♀️ WOW, those appearances - Julia Roberts!! That must've been around her Mystic Pizza days? And I keep telling my daughter I can never watch Emily In Paris without hearing Against All Odds a little, too. Love this!

That song is a real earworm! I also can’t see Emily without thinking of Phil and vice versa. When she was like, I’ve never been to London, I had to suspend disbelief. Thank you for reading and I’m a lifelong British TV fan!

I hadn't realised that the show had featured so many stars, even though I'm reasonably sure I saw most episodes. I don't remember Phil Collins or Julia Roberts, but that's probably because the latter hadn't really made it big at that point. I have to watch Mystic Pizza again - thanks for reminding us. It was one of my favourite movies back then.

Thank you for reading! And yeah it was right before she hit the big time. I loved that movie too and need to rewatch that one!

Now I’m mad I didn’t watch it in high school (although I was very aware of its influence). Probably watching Dallas or the tenth viewing of some movie on VHS. I might have to revisit some of these!

Oh yes I did love Dallas and Dynasty and Falcon Crest, too. The early seasons of MV are fun to revisit but Prime took it off the free streaming which is a bummer. I ended up buying a DVD set to finish my research 📀

Loved this article, thank you! 💕What a flashback to that time. I didn’t watch the show (I was post-high school, too cool, and in my early drinking and partying days), but I remember the buzz, especially around Phil Collins! Oh, that fashion! I wanted a white strapless dress so badly.

Thank you for reading and that’s so fun you remember the buzz around Phil in that episode! So many fun sightings and I bet you could find one on eBay now!
