"Look-in: The Best of the Eighties" is a collection of some of the most memorable and nostalgic picture strip stories, interviews and features to have appeared in the top kids' magazine of the decade.Also referred to as the "Junior TVTimes", "Look-in" was first published in 1971 and ran all the way through to 1994. During the 1980s, the magazine was at its peak, changing its cover design in 1981 to use photographs rather than the old artwork, but retaining the picture strips that everyone loved so much.As well as picture story strips based on TV shows like "Robin of Sherwood" or "Dangermouse", the eighties' "Look-in" featured the stories of pop stars in picture strips - "Duran Duran", "Wham!", "Bucks Fizz", "Madness", "Bros", "A-ha", and many more.In addition, the magazine offered behind-the-scenes glimpses of kids' favourite TV shows, interviews with pop, sport, TV and movie stars, pin-ups, quizzes and features on everything from skateboarding and BMX to popular science.Of course, the magazine continued to list broadcast highlights specifically of interest to kids for all of the different ITV regions, continuing to earn its ranking as the "Junior TV Times" and making itself an indispensable item in households all over the UK!
