A tempting menu of available bachelors, as displayed on Video Mate, circa 1983.
I know, it’s a tough call. Is it toxic waste guy? Data processing guy? Or maybe Fred has the edge, what with the Viking outfit. Via Protein Wisdom.

Wasn't Mike the non-smoker the neighbour in 'George and Mildred'?

I thought for a moment that Mike the non-smoker was Steve Coogan doing a character.

I have them all in a cupboard. I bring them out from time to time and there is one to suit my every mood. They are happy. As am I.

Good God, that's scary. I read there was a point during one of the Ice Ages where the human population went through a genetic bottleneck and nearly went extinct. I never realised it was that recent.
Also, terrifyingly, remember that 1986 was 23 years ago. All of the people in that video are 60+ now or dead. Hard to say in which category they are happier. It's like watching curiously accelerated B&W footage of crowds on the eve of WWI.
