OLIVER CROCKER on the original ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on December 15th 2024. This week’s special guest is the film-maker, researcher, prolific podcaster, and author, OLIVER CROCKER who joins me to talk not about the long-running police drama THE BILL, about which he is something of an authority, but about another long-running drama from the 1970s and 1980s, the popular Yorkshire-set veterinary series ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL based

WARREN CUMMINGS joins me to talk about the TV adaptations of the work of JOHN LE CARRÉFirst broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on December 8th 2024. For various reasons, recently I’ve been watching rather a lot of adaptations of the work of the novelist John le Carré, or David Cornwell as his family knew him, mostly, perhaps, because I’ve started reading his books, partially, of course, because SANDY made reference to him our show about ROCK FOLLIES earlier in the year, and also maybe

PAUL CHANDLER on some more contemporary psychological thrillers. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on December 1st 2024. PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI is back, and this week he wanted to use as our starting point some of the telly that he’d been watching recently, and, because that’s always a good prompt for an interesting television-related discussion, we did precisely that. So, whilst this does mean that, once again, the television we’re talking about is a lot more modern than

In a packed programme tonight, WARREN CUMMINGS really wanted to talk about a new dawn for DOCTOR WHO, but possibly not the one I might have been expecting…First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 24th 2024. In this edition of the show we (mostly) talk about season seven of classic DOCTOR WHO, first broadcast in 1970, featuring JON PERTWEE in the title role, and which consists of the following four stories: SPEARHEAD FROM SPACE (4 episodes) DOCTOR WHO AND THE SILURIANS (7

STEVE HATCHER returns to tell us all about NIGEL KNEALE's work in the 1960s. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 17th 2024. Following our recent conversation about NIGEL KNEALE’S BEASTS anthology from the 1970s, STEVE HATCHER and I thought we might continue discussing the career of NIGEL KNEALE, as STEVE has been systematically working his way through such television programmes as still exist from this great writer’s works, although he has been particularly focussing on

WARREN CUMMINGS joins me to talk about PORTMEIRION and THE PRISONER. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on October 20th 2024. A couple of months ago, I was lucky enough to be treated to a couple of days staying at the hotel Portmeirion which, I’m sure I need not tell you nearly sixty years ago was once used as the primary location for The Village in that short-lived but somehow hugely significant and iconic sixties television series THE PRISONER featuring Patrick McGoohan. Now,

This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI is back, and, because we briefly mentioned watching WONDER WOMAN the last time he was on, I got to thinking about all of those superhero-based television shows that were on TV when I was an impressionable teenager, back in the late 1970s and I thought that PAUL might be just the person to talk to about

Earlier in the year, STEVE HATCHER started taking us on a guided tour of some of the more forgotten TV sitcoms from the 1960s, and we thought it was about time that we went back and picked up where we left off in taking a look at the not insubstantial list of ancient television rib-ticklers that he’s been studiously working his way through.

This week the historian MICHAEL HERBERT returns to talk about another obscure piece of television science-fiction. This time, it’s a nine-part series, which seems to have been largely forgotten about, made by the BBC in 1969 after being first proposed in 1966 then shelved because of its similarity to a little American show called THE INVADERS. It’s called COUNTERSTRIKE and, like a

Whilst VISION ON SOUND is a show where we do like to try to explore the wider world of archive television, and is not just about one specific television series that gets a lot of far better coverage in other places, it’s hard not to admit that DOCTOR WHO was definitely the gateway into that wider world for a lot of people
