We've all had that moment: you're looking through old photos, you see an outfit and you think: What was I thinking?! On this episode of Ask Me A Question, Dame Arlene Phillips and Bradley Riches are debating which fashion eras need to be confined to the dustbin of history.

Brad opens the episode talking about the success of his new book Autistically Me which is selling out everywhere! Arlene shares advice for efficient book signings: be charming, show warmth, keep the line moving, set boundaries and streamline photos by having phones ready while signing.

In the debate, Arlene criticizes exaggerated ’80s shoulder-heavy designs (Thierry Mugler and Claude Montana) for overwhelming her frame, though she admits a recent vintage shoulder-pad jacket looked great in moderation.

Brad argues strongly against spray-on skinny jeans, recalling his own past outfits, and they also react to audience picks including low-rise jeans, tiny tinted sunglasses, visible thong straps, and ultra-thin eyebrows.

Sometimes you watch a TV show and you feel seen by what is happening on the screen. On this episode of Ask Me A Question, Dame Arlene Phillips and Bradley Riches are debating which TV shows best represent real life.

Arlene opens the episode by sharing her journey with the iconic musical Starlight Express before she heads off to Germany for the 38th anniversary gala. A rare achievement and a show which has been seen by over 20 million people!

In the debate, Bradley argues in favour of soaps (as a genre), whilst Arlene chooses Russell T Davies’s It’s a Sin for its realistic depiction of the AIDS crisis and her personal memories of friends becoming ill and facing fear and cruelty.

They also respond to listener suggestions, including The Office and Malcolm In The Middle, before seeing if either of them might change their minds...
