Believe it or not, today marks THIRTY FIVE years since the American action-adventure classic show The A-Team hit TV screens.
On the 23rd of January, 1983, NBC aired the first episode of the series, where we were introduced to John "Hannibal" Smith, Howling Mad Murdoch, Templeton "Face" Peck and B.A Baracus. What a time to be alive!!
Well doing what we do best here on the Breakfast Show, we played the theme tune and had a bit of a chat about it as a blast from the past, and the reaction was insane!
@IanDempsey @TodayFM ah here Iano, the A Team tune, just when we all thought you couldn't get any cooler! Banging! #oldschool #TheATeam

@IanDempsey playing the #ATeam intro song on @TodayFM is exactly what my Tuesday morning wall to work needed! #teamofcraiccommandos

People were sharing memories from the four corners of Ireland, with B.A's quotes featuring in a high portion of the texts. It's always liberating to be able to type "I PITY THE FOOL" in a message - right?
There was hundreds of messages across all platforms, but it was a WhatsApp from Naomi Donaldson which really caught our eye. We know everyone loved the show, but her and hubby Ronan REALLY love it. So much so that it played a huge roll on their wedding day...
In the words of Colonel Hannibal, "I love it when a plan comes together".
You can listen to her epic story in full by clicking the 'play' button in the headline image above.
For more fun like this, tune into The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show every weekday morning from 7am.
