Podcasts about Carla Lane

Bear with us this month, listeners, as we take a left turn down Duckett's Passage to talk about something a little different from our usual classic British horror. Nicholas Simon Lyndhurst, born April 1961, is an English actor who began his career as a child actor and is best known for his role as Rodney Trotter in the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, which ran from 1981 to 2003.PART ONE: Tonight's first topic covers his role as the time-travelling bigamist Gary Sparrow in the British sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart. Created by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran and produced by the BBC, Goodnight Sweetheart ran from 1993 to 1999, broadcasting a total of six series. The sitcom follows Gary Sparrow, an accidental time traveller living a double life through a time portal that connects 1990s London with 1940s wartime London. While the show's creators, who also made Birds of a Feather and The New Statesman, wrote most of the episodes, we chose to watch series six, episode one ("Mine's a Double") and episode five ("The 'Ouses in Between") because they had at least a tenuous link to our podcast's premise. These episodes were written by Gary Lawson and John Phelps (as a writing team) and Geoff Rowley, respectively. ‘Sweetheart featured Victor McGuire as Ron Wheatcroft, Gary's best friend in every episode of the show. McGuire is best known for playing Jack Boswell in Carla Lane's Bread. Related to our areas of interest, he appeared in an episode of Chernobyl, was a bar patron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, played Police Officer No. 1 in 2005's Hellraiser: Hellworld, and portrayed Gerald Hardy in the 2012 Daniel Radcliffe version of The Woman in Black.Dervla Kirwan played Gary's wartime love interest and later wife, Phoebe, in the first three series before being replaced by Elizabeth Carling. Carling was briefly engaged to Neil Morrissey, whom she met while both were in the oft-mentioned Boon; she also appeared alongside him in an episode of the BBC sitcom Men Behaving Badly. After ‘Sweetheart, she released an album of wartime covers, also titled Goodnight Sweetheart. Similarly, the role of Gary's modern-day wife, Yvonne, was initially played by Michelle Holmes, who rose to prominence as Sue, one of the babysitters in Rita, Sue and Bob Too. After three seasons, she was replaced by Emma Amos, who appeared in Vera Drake, Bridget Jones's Diary, and an episode of Murder Most Horrid with Dawn French (cue Jon singing the theme tune). We've mentioned "Rear of the Year" a few times on this show, so it's worth noting that Amos was (according to Wikipedia — although Ross can't verify this) voted as having "TV's Best Legs" by readers of The Economist. PART TWO:We also listened to Channel Crossing by Rosemary Timperley. This was an episode of Haunted: Stories of the Supernatural, which ran for several years on the BBC World Service in the early 1980s and has since had a second life on Radio 4 Extra (thanks to Mysterious Magpie on YouTube for sharing some of these stories so we count listen to review it today). Rosemary Timperley was an author of over sixty novels and hundreds of short stories and feature articles, best known for her classic ghost stories The Mistress in Black and Christmas Meeting. Although primarily a mainstream writer, Timperley wrote numerous short stories that explored different aspects of the supernatural. She was well known for editing five volumes in a series of ghost story anthologies. Timperley also wrote several acclaimed radio and television scripts, and her short story Harry has been adapted to film multiple times.This episode featured Nicholas Lyndhurst as Jack, Peter Sallis as Edward, Patsy Rowlands as Frances, Gregory de Polnay as Gregory, and Sonia Fraser as Annabelle.

This episode features a writer who would be familiar not only to Hull residents but also to keen telly watchers, radio listeners and theatre goers across the country. Alan Plater was born in Jarrow in 1935  but having moved to Hull when he was just three years old, the city was pleased to adopt him and he lived there for much of his life. His most famous writing credit was probably Z Cars. Alan Plater was also a huge fan of jazz music and his ITV comedy drama The Beiderbecke Affair staring James Bolam and Barbara Flynn in the mid 1980s was a massive success. He went on to win countless awards and accolades for his wonderful writing. Alan Plater was enormously generous with his time, and made a huge contribution to the Hull arts scene of the 1960s and 70s, developing a gentle friendship with Philip Larkin along the way. This speech was recorded on 28th November 1998,  and was given at that year's PLS AGM.   Thank you so much to Alexandra Cann who is the agent for the Alan Plater Literary Estate Ltd for giving us the initial approval to use this recording, and to Steve Plater and John Rubinstein who are the joint Directors of the Lit Estate. If you are interested in seeing an Alan Plater play this summer, then the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough is putting on a production of the Blonde Bombshells of 1943 which is full of swing and jazz, from 2-26th August 2023. https://sjt.uk.com/events/blonde-bombshells-of-1943 References: Alfred Bradley https://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/about/successes/alfred-bradley-award/ ·         The Occasional Smell of Fish (poem) ·         Waiting for Gladys (Becket parody) ·         Bete Noire (Hull poetry journal) ·         Z Cars One Day In Spring Street ·         Jazz Notes- BBC radio programme ·         On Sunday January 4th I had Mild Constipation ·         Names (poem written for Three Trawlers fundraising) ‘my only grown up poem' ·         Swallows on the Water (play) ·         The Fosdyke Saga sonnet ( BBC radio tripe themed -parody of The Forsyth Saga,)- sent a copy to Larkin who responded with a signed copy of the High Windows calling him ‘sonnetteer extraordinaire' ·         Sweet Sorrow (1990) Plater's play about Larkin Matthew Arnold, Ogden Nash, Dylan Thomas, Alan Bleasdale, Ted Hughes, Barry Hines, Vera Wise, Henry Livings, Alex Glasgow, Carla Lane, Adrian Mitchell, Allan Ginsburg, Carole Mills (rude songs and low down blues), Robin Kay (flamenco guitarist), Max Boylett (jazz pianist), Ian Clarke and Chris Rowe, Sid and Norm (artists without category), Joe Orton, The Beatles, John Ford (director of westerns), Roger McGough, Jimmy James (music hall performer),Ken Wagstaff- (footballing hero), Fleur Adcock, Jeff Nuttall (had a pee in a bucket on stage), Roni Scott, Suzi Quatro, Mike Bradwell (theatre director), Jess Stacy (jazz pianist), Shakespeare, Max Wall, Peter Brooke (director),  and many more Hull poets listed by Plater.

Rita Tushingham first won international acclaim as a teenager, playing Jo in the film A Taste of Honey. Her performance in this 1961 kitchen sink drama earned her a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. She starting shooting the film on her 19th birthday. She went on to play roles in the Leather Boys, the Knack… and How to Get it and Doctor Zhivago. Now 80, she continues to perform and recently appeared in two BBC television drama series - Ridley Road and The Responder - and in the film Last Night in Soho. Rita was born in Liverpool and at 16 joined the Liverpool Repertory Company as a student assistant stage manager. Her first role was as the back legs of a horse in Toad of Toad Hall. In 1960 she responded to a newspaper article which invited ‘ugly' unknown girls to apply for the part of Jo in a film adaptation of Shelagh Delaney's play A Taste of Honey, to be directed by Tony Richardson. The film challenged many taboos of the time, including teenage pregnancy and interracial relationships. After the British film industry went into decline in the 1970s Rita started working in Europe. In 1988 she went back to her roots and played Celia Higgins in Carla Lane's Liverpool sitcom, Bread. Rita lives in London and is a passionate supporter of Liverpool Football Club.

This week we take a look at eighties classic Bread. Written by Carla Lane and becoming a de facto image of Liverpool, the show ran for several years, encompassing cast changes throughout. But was it a sitcom or more of a soap opera with occasional gags? And of course we answer the ultimate question: Joey Boswell, sexy or smarmy?

This episode we delve into some bittersweet suburban ennui with Carla Lane's 1980's series, Butterflies. With discussion of women's representation, what makes a happy family and quite a lot of bickering about a certain film starring a certain shark.

Butterflies was one of the surprise success stories of 1978 for BBC2. Tucked away on the minority channel, it wasn't really expected to do so well but within days of its first airing, it was recording great figures and rave reviews in the press. It helped to make household names of Wendy Craig, Geoffrey Palmer and Nicholas Lyndhurst. Written by legendary writer Carla Lane it told the story of Ria, a bored middle class 70s housewife desperate for some excitement in her life. In an interview recorded shortly before the sad death of Geoffrey Palmer, Wendy Craig recalls her Butterflies days to Ashley.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Like a drunk uncle at midnight, we stumble across your threshold clutching not a lump of coal but a lump of sodcast! Lucky you.We set out our stall for the new year by hating a whole new bunch of things and delivering what is, by quite some distance, the worst thing Carla Lane has ever sent us. Metro is still shit of course and we let you in on just how our Christmases went down. I won’t give anything away but the phrase ‘River Fish’ is used.Then Event Horizon Crescent happens and we can all go home.

We abandon hectic rehearsals for Bad Musical (Etcetera Theatre Camden, 27-29 August at 9pm, tickets £7.50) to record this very special rambling sodcast. Covering the most heated topics as always, we finally get round to recording Carla Lane’s In Atlantis and we swear perhaps more than ever so quite a treat for fans of barrack-room language.Anyway, stay listening to the end for a very special trailer for the upcoming return of everyone’s favourite space-based soap, Event Horizon Crescent.

Ola! We’re in Spain this week, so it seems entirely appropriate that we perform a special Aveline from Bread tribute episode of On Buddy Holly’s Plane by Carla Lane. Otherwise that might have seemed in poor taste.

Well we’re back! Yes, after yet another needlessly long hiatus, it’s time for another of these things, whatever they are. This week we grace your ears with a lovely new episode of In the Divorce Courts by Carla Lane, Jeremy hates a bunch of stuff again and we provide you with the last thing you needed: a pathetic commentary to the short YouTube film Pixels by Patrick Jean. I’d skip through that bit if I were you. But by all means don’t skip through this week’s Event Horizon Crescent whatever you do! Unless you’re not a fan, in which case skipping it would be totally understandable. You uncultured thug.

In our special Pik memorial episode we cover a fair bit of ground in honour of our late feathered friend. She alas misses this week’s instalment of ‘In A&E’ (by Carla Lane) which she would have definitely loved. But even sadder, she also misses the latest MIND-BLOWING instalment of our worldwide sensation sci-fi soap Event Horizon Crescent where this week things get a little political... space political. Pik would have loved that. She was all about the politics.

Back to our best this week without a shadow of a doubt, we hit the ground running and then we hit it again and again til it stops running. Stupid fucking ground.There’s the usual mix of shits and giggles (1 part giggles to 10 parts shits) and we find out what happens in Carla Lane’s latest sitcom ‘In The Centre Of Venus’.Anyway, it’s all just an excuse to give the incomparable 25th Anniversary episode of Event Horizon Crescent something to sit on. Bloody belm.
