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

Call us needy, but if you're so inclined, please do let us know if you've listened to our interview with Graeme... and what you made of it.

Thought was a great listen. Obviously a guest with a really interesting career, but fab questions too.

Really looking forward to this. He was amazingly kind to my then 10 year old son, who I had introduced to the Goodies via DVDs and who had made a lego movie version of them!

Laughed out very loud in my coworking space at the 'Smokescreen' gag. You're not here but you've still got it Barry. 😂

I was thinking about this and I reckon Sid Snot is more of a Marlon Brando style punk in the 1950s sense.

I very much enjoyed the Kenny Koverage over the last two episodes, but few there is one fundamental question that hasn’t been addressed: what was the functional difference between Sid Snot and Gizzard Puke?

A hectic week at work, but two podcasts have really helped me unwind and made me smile: John Thomson gleefully discussing board games on
@scarredforlife.bsky.social
and Samira Ahmed's lovely archive interview with Barry Cryer on
@squarewindowpod.bsky.social
. Thanks to both shows for the uplift.

Joy is a powerhouse - loved meeting her. The conversation covers Play School and Jackanory (of course), but also her ITV years: Catweazle! Tom Baker on The Book Tower! Behind the Bike Sheds! And (slams on the caps) THE GIDDY GAME SHOW! Plus loads more. The podcast will be out later this year.

Later series of Blake’s 7 were very difficult to watch in Wales. Pushed around the schedules, broadcast without fanfare, what could have been more important?

My mum - who is 91 - was good friends with ex-actress Dindy (Davindra) Stevens during their retirement years on the Hampshire coast. Dindy, who is no longer with us, was partial to a couple of port and brandies in the morning and was married (briefly) to Peter Wyngarde of Dept S.

Really loved this. Ian is one of my favourite people to read when it comes to writing about TV. Detailed, and with some killer turns of phrase.

Really enjoyed this episode and the appreciation of the comic chops of Denise Coffey in 'DNAYS'. Always such a funny performer but much underrated.
