Watching Candleshoe again because of Gatiss' rant on @squarewindowpod.bsky.social What is interesting that though the exteriors are proper US, the interiors are clearly UK - Michael Balfour and Mildred Shay as her guardians, but it still feels more American than British.

I love the fact that this very weird show has been covered by the mighty Phil and the excellent @squarewindowpod.bsky.social in the same week. It fills me full of Christmas cheer.

If you're so inclined, please do tell The Guardian about our podcast: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Regular routine: hair cut then around the corner for a chippie, eaten in the car with a podcast. Today is a small chips and the latest episode of @squarewindowpod.bsky.social.

Listen in for Richard Marson discussing Rentaghost and our new book Box of Delights.

Looking forward to it. I had an inexplicable dislike of Rentaghost, and for that matter Crackerjack, both programs all my friends loved, so it'll be interesting to hear your views.

New @squarewindowpod.bsky.social est arrivé. 🍷 Original film by Ray Davies & an ep Bob’s Full House. Fascinating to rewatch and see which show holds up best to modern scrutiny. Expect to be surprised, and not just by Mr Claypole in Rentaghost. Link to yr best podcast platforms here: pod.fo/e/3513c3
