@squarewindowpod.bsky.social Great ep, thanks for the mention :-) Interestingly, BBC2 had tackled mental health before in another show that got completely memory holed - Maybury (1981). televisionheaven.co.uk/reviews/mayb...

Once again I am joyed by your podcast that fills in a lot of details and exposes me to new shows that seem like I should watch. Thank you again.

Next Episode - most exciting yet!

I attended a recording of Saturday Night Armistice in TVC. I remember the energy of the hosts bouncing around the studio cramming in as many surreal gags as poss, and being handed a plastic piece of meat when in-house cow-mad boyband Topside arrived. But also in awe of being in TV Centre.

This is such an enjoyable, interesting and perfectly-hosted podcast by two of the best people. Yay! Highly recommended!

Loved Saturday/Friday Night Armistice back in the day. The absolute best episode (in the opionion of this Irish man) was the one addressing the orange order marches in the North. The opening, demanding to march into the women's toilets because it was a gents 200 years ago was genius.

Our new podcast is out today, and this month, @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social are looking at shows from 1996: The Friday Night Armistice, Carol Vorderman's Out of this World, Men Behaving Badly and Takin' Over the Asylum. Available wherever you get your podcasts!

We have a new episode out tomorrow, with @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social looking at shows that aired in 1996. Here's what's coming up...

The latest @squarewindowpod.bsky.social was also great. I've always been fascinated by the programme James Paul McCartney and would love to know - as it was a contractual obligation - if ATV had much control over the content or if McCartney was given free rein? It's such an odd ragbag of material.

I must just recommend @squarewindowpod.bsky.social for perfect heatwave listening - nostalgic and knowledgeable, and very nicely put together.

Our new podcast is out today, and this month, @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social are with the Beatles, looking at four related TV shows: Around the Beatles (1964), James Paul McCartney (1973), The Music of Lennon & McCartney (1965) and Magical Mystery Tour (1967).

Genuinely thrilled that the great Chris Shaw has listened to our ep. Thanks, Chris!

We're back tomorrow as @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social present a special Beatles-themed episode. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Listening to this podcast and enjoyed it greatly but had forgotten how much I loathed Moonlighting. Nothing here changed my mind.

If you're interested in television history - and why wouldn't you be? - you'll enjoy this rather lovely podcast, in which hosts Samira and Graham dive deeply into TV schedules from years gone by. This episode features a segment on The Ritz, a programme I have no recollection of *at all*.

Farewell Michael Keating. I came to appreciate his Vila Restal in Blake's 7 thanks to talking to @gkw.bsky.social about it on @squarewindowpod.bsky.social sites.libsyn.com/592215/episo...

This is indeed the section we talk about in the podcast. It's great!

I listened to the latest edition of @squarewindowpod.bsky.social 'Through the Square Window' this evening and I was thrilled when they read out my email. Little things like that still get me excited.

Can't believe nobody's yet mentioned the clearest Blakes's's 7 successor - the magnificent Farscape. Escaped criminal heroes, stolen ship with a personality (Zen/Moya), Servalan analogue (Grayza), Tarrant analogue with similar dress sense (Scorpius), evil empire (Peacekeepers) - it's all there.

Includes some feedback from me!

Our new episode is out today! @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social look at the following shows from May 1987: Moonlighting, Every Second Counts, The Ritz and Network 7. Huge thanks to @mrstevelevine.bsky.social for talking to us about the N7 theme tune.

If your name's not down, you're not coming in (actually, you're all welcome). In next Wednesday's podcast, @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social are looking at shows from May 1987, including John Godber's The Ritz.

Vague bells ringing on this one. Looking forward to listening.

This is a short public information film to advise you that @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social will be back in May with a new ep of the podcast, looking at shows from 1987.

Fashion next? I remember it was reported in one of his tabloid scandals that he used to wear a football top whilst engaged in certain activities. And I don't mean presenting Classic FM.

I am really enjoying Through The Square Window but a monthly podcast feels... barmy. Like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Thanks so much to the Sun TV Mag for featuring us in today's issue.

I might be a little late to the party but if you're into your old Telly memories, this podcast is wholly recommended. @squarewindowpod.bsky.social Through the Square Window – A podcast guiding you through the UK TV we watched in decades gone by share.google/J7wf8lPuPsNi...

So @gkw.bsky.social and my @squarewindowpod.bluesky.social is Pick of the week in the tv mag of the Sun…

A brilliant almost hour and half walk through TV history. 👏

Thanks for this wonderful chat with Graeme. I think I remember reading years ago that after the LWT palaver that the three of them were contractually unable to appear together in a TV show at the same time for a number of years. Bananaman didn't count as they were voices. Is this a myth/cobblers?

This is a lovely thread. Thanks so much for sharing.

A brilliant interview with Graham Garden. It's such a delight to have a podcast team who are not only hugely knowledgeable but also take the time to let their guest talk.

Listened today, really enjoyed it. And decent production too, not all podcasts manage that.

Absolutely mad to think that ITV screened that final Thames series directly against TOTP.

I always find Samira interesting wherever she pops up and I still listen to my old TV Cream 'What We Just Watched' podcasts. @squarewindowpod.bsky.social is crossing the beams in the best way possible! 🩷

This is another excellent episode from Samira and Graham. I was particularly interested to hear the stuff about Royston Mayoh and the reasons behind Everett's departure from Thames, but just listening to Barry talk and laugh is a great tonic. Highly recommended.

This is a terrific interview with the venerable Graeme Garden. It was particularly nice to hear more about the less commonly discussed byways of Garden's career like Star Turn, Bodymatters, and Tell Me More.

One of my favourite ever podcast interviews - an excellent listen. Thanks to you both.

Why is @squarewindowpod.bsky.social trending at no 1 in TV review podcasts.. Well I think a certain Graham Garden is why...

Really enjoyed listening to this earlier. Hadn't realised Graeme was also General Blight as well as Bananaman!
