How to find the best experts and eccentrics for television shows…

(Photograph by Glenn Carstens-Peters via UnSplash) In my last couple of blogs, I asked AI to explain Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity and Quantum Physics. In both cases, I think the clearest explanation was when I asked the AI to pretend it/they were an 8-year-old child. This links up to the famous acronym KISS – Keep It Simple, Stupid. It also reminds me of a chat I had when I was a…

TISWAS.

The question: ‘what TV shows did you watch as a kid?’ The answer: well, it largely depends on what age limit you’re placing on the definition of a ‘kid!’ 😀 As a very young ‘un in the early to mid-Sixties, I would have been into the old classics: all the kiddy, ‘Watch With Mother’ types. As I got older, The Lone Ranger; Batman; The Monkees; all the Gerry Anderson TV21 series, and any cartoons at…

Tear it up

Do you rememberWhen we played silly buggersAround 1979We jumped over ditchesWalked for milesIn this youth of mineWhen we were in single numbersWe never stayed in our homesWe had disused railways to mapAnd haunted houses to roamSo tear it upAnd break it downToday’s youthAll houseboundWhen we were young We worked for pocket moneyThe spuds had to be peeledNewspapers bought on Sunday morningBins…

I'll put the gun away, but when her life was such an unfinished state she collapsed onto the people below, while famous for its custard Pie humour, it would not like overwatch if i have to cry all the time

Mike McCartney on Linda, on being an artist in the shadow of Paul, and being thrown out of Yoko's show (before she met John)

SDE: Of course, Linda played keyboards on this album, doesn’t she? That must have been quite interesting, you know… she got a bit of a hard time at the beginning but she went on tour and played with them. MM: Yes, she bloody did it. The big thing is you can talk, but you listen to those harmonies, there are some lovely harmonies. And, it’s like her photography, I mean, people like us [i.e. Mike and Linda] when you are compared to an ex-Beatle. Of course, I will have that all my life and so did she. And so, always people put us down as, they’re just relatives, they’re not important, like all the Beatle children… Sean and Julian and all these kids, Ringo’s kids, etc. They put it down as … it’s a bit like ‘the poshies’, they’re no use to us, they don’t look at us as human beings and as artists in our own right. They just put up with us, they don't listen to us and so I had a bad time, Yoko had it bad, worse, my god, did she have a bad time. And, it’s so unfair, that when you think of the things that they’ve done, I knew Yoko before John, she came to Liverpool with her husband and some American bloke. SDE: Oh, that’s interesting… MM: Yes, she was in the Bluecoat [Chambers], we went to see her in the Bluecoat in Liverpool because we’d heard about this Japanese artist. SDE: She was putting on an exhibition or something? MM: She did these wonderful exhibitions. In fact, we got thrown out of one of them because we were satirists… SDE: You weren’t taking it that seriously then? MM: We didn’t… Yoko, I’m sorry, now! I don’t know whether you remember this, but she did this thing where she would get people on the stage – and thank god she didn’t ask us to get up –  and she would wrap them in bandages. You know what I mean? She’s taking it so seriously, and we’re scouting you know. Then, “any suggestions from the audience,” and there’s these people wrapped up in bandages and John ‘Tiswas’ Gorman did a ‘mummy’ joke. And, we were thrown out –  “you’re not taking this seriously”.

Ron and Russell on the children's TV programme Tiswas in 1979. (x) (The link above details how the series had a clip-show revival on Twitch in 2020. The clips are sadly gone from Twitch, but one of them featured the Ron and Russell interview shown above. Hopefully some kind soul out there will share the video some day.) It's also from the same episode as this article and really cute photo posted years ago by OldSchoolSparks.)

'...Stars including Hollywood actress Whoopi Goldberg, Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon along with former Doctor Who actor David Tennant have spoken of the legendary star and how he has impacted them and society as a whole...

Doctor Who star David Tennant wasn't far behind with giving his opinion on the iconic star, as he starred with him in TV crime drama Broadchurch. He added: "I can’t imagine anyone saying ‘I don’t like Lenny Henry’. That doesn’t seem possible. He’s such a part of our culture in this country. When I was growing up, you were either a Swap Shop kid or a Tiswas kid. And I was very much Team Tiswas. I even used to get the Tiswas magazine, that’s how much of a fan I was. There was something so extraordinary about that show. It was so fresh and anarchic. It felt a bit naughty. Lenny has this amazing singing voice. As soon as he opened his mouth on The Masked Singer, you knew it was Lenny."

He continued: "Lenny was such a fantastic addition to Broadchurch, both in terms of the way he embodied that character and everything he brought to it, but also just to have him around was a treat. It’s a relatively late-starting career as a dramatic actor but he’s caught up pretty quickly."'

Malcolm Hardee Comedy Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe – organising anarchy

ITV’s Tiswas – Good clean family fun I was a researcher on the final series of anarchic Saturday morning ITV children’s show Tiswas. It had been going for years at the point and everything ran fairly smoothly. It was broadcast live usually for 2-3 hours. I remember at least a couple of the live shows ran for 4 hours. I think the series I worked on ran for 39 weeks of the year.  Because it was…
