Podcasts about children's bbc

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. This time Tim's the guest, talking to Garreth F. Hirons about Children's BBC show Stop-Go!, It's A Shame by Kris Kross, the animated series of Spider-Woman, I Wanted To See You To See If I Wanted You by Moose, The ITV Encyclopedia Of Adventure, the original version of Right Here by SWV, The Young Poisoner's Handbook and Radio Tip Top. Along the way we'll be finding out how the cast of The Sullivans got caught up in a South-East turf war, attempting to define the Drop The Dead Donkey Font, puzzling over how Dracula can logistically get 'revenge', and querying how far Roger Lloyd Pack was from any falling-through-bar incident at any given point in time.

In this first episode of a brand new series. I chat with former Children's BBC continuity presenter Simeon Courtie. We chat about his time presenting 'The O-Zone' for CBBC as well as the bits in between the programmes along side Otis The Aardvark. As well as his jump to CITV presenting the Saturday morning show 'WOW' and the water based game show 'Get Wet'. As well as his more recent work such as writing the travel book 'The Long and Whining Road'. My blog page http://jacksthrowbackattack.blogspot.com/

We can all agree that pranks and April Fools' jokes are invariably god awful and not in the slightest bit funny - but what would you do if it was the Hollywood superstar George Clooney pulling them on you? Ben and Phil put on their best "the actor Richard Kind" masks to explore the comedy back catalogue of The Cloon. But before that, we take time to celebrate Phillip Schofield's birthday and the first ten programmes he ever introduced on Children's BBC from Mike, Mop and The Moke to The Kwicky Koala Show. Plus: authentic American accents, Hanna Barbera's cruelty to animals, teacher beating, bad bumper stickers, cat constipation, the ill-advised american remake of Paddington and an alarming amount more.

Edit: A birthday surprise at the end of this talk. The picture attached should hopefully provide some context... From long-running TV series to sold-out theatre shows and premium rate phone 'advice' lines, the business of 'Love and Light' and talking to the dead is very much alive and well. How are psychics able to convince the public that their other-worldly insight is genuine? Why do people insist on believing, despite the lack of evidence of an afterlife? Paul Zenon presents a potted history of what of what Harry Houdini described as ’the filthiest profession in the world’, and takes a look at their methods, past and present. Paul is possibly best known as a magician; after several series on Children's BBC in the 90s he became the pioneer of the UK's Street Magic genre, with a number of one-man C4 and ITV Specials. His career has spanned three decades and seen him performing for audiences in around forty countries while making hundreds of TV appearances as performer, presenter nd pundit; the latter relating in particular to his inside knowledge with regard to matters generally considered by the media to be 'paranormal’. His last visit to Edinburgh was to the 2016 Fringe, in his roll as Ringmaster in the Olivier Award-winning circus-cabaret show, La Clique.  Consumer Protection Disclaimer: this talk is investigational and for the purpose of entertainment.
