In 1963 a film was released which, had its original casting remained intact, would probably be barely remembered today - The Pink Panther, directed by Blake Edwards. With Peter Ustinov as a sure-footed and dependable French police inspector on the trail of a notorious jewel thief it would doubtless have made respectable money and garnered warm reviews but would hardly have spawned a slew of spin-offs - while in fact, the follow-up film, A Shot In The Dark, came out a mere three months after The Pink Panther opened in North American theatres. All this was due to the last-minute casting of Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, following Ustinov's departure from the project. Between them, Sellers and Edwards totally revised the character of the inspector, making him much more comedic, and what emerged was one of the most beloved and memorable characters in cinema history. Although the film was a starring vehicle for David Niven as Sir Charles Lytton AKA The Phantom – described by Clouseau as “the surest, cleverest most ingenious criminal in all the world” - and very much in the style of one of those undemanding frothy sixties romps set in glamourous international locations, Sellers went into it a supporting actor and emerged as the standout star. This week one half of The Sitcom Club and Jaffa Cakes For Proust Gary Rodger joins Tyler to talk about The Pink Panther. Some questions arise: ... How did Clouseau rise to prominence in the French Sûreté? ... What motive did Mme Clouseau have for marrying him in the first place? ... Would the film have benefitted from 100% less Wagner? ... What was an original Pink Panther? ... Who might have had a hand in the famous car chase sequence? ... How did the Princess change ethnicity? ... Who are the audience meant to root for? ... How is this a sex comedy if nobody gets any? ... Just who WERE in those gorilla suits? ... Why was Michael Trubshawe in this film? ... And wasn't Colin Gordon marvellous? Plus much more!

The Agents Angle - The World's Premier Football (Soccer) Agent Show
The deadline has passed and the pressure is on for those who have just applied for the second sitting of the FIFA football agents exam in September 2023, the last exam before the new agent regulations are 'scheduled' to come fully into force. But how did candidates fair in the first sitting back in April 2023 - were pass rates as reported in some media outlets, or were some of the figures misleading? From Argentina to Zambia, England to Japan, were pass rates reflected evenly around the world, or were candidates in some territories markedly more successful than counterparts elsewhere? As promised, we bring you the second and concluding part of our interview with the founder of one of the most successful independent English football agencies of its time, when Colin Gordon shares his thoughts on the impact that FFAR will have on the practicalities of being an agent, the role of PFA, FIFPRO, and other stakeholders, the most rewarding transfer he worked on as an agent and his wish for the future of the agent world. And finally, the subject that never goes away also makes ANOTHER return to 'The Agents Angle'........... the FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) and not only an independent and professional legal appraisal on the ruling, but a view on the impact that FFAR will have in South America and particularly Argentina, with Buenos Aires based attorney Guido José Jamer. ------------------------------ Show Running Order : (01:41) - Football Agent Pass Rates from the April 2023 Exam (07:57) - Part 2 of Our Guest Interview: Colin Gordon (08:24) - Impact of FFAR on the Practicalities on Being an Agent (10:55) - Involvement of Lawyers in the Agents Industry (13:02) - The Role of Player Associations, Manager Associations and Others in the Agency World (16:30) - Future Projects (18:47) - One Wish for the Football Agent Industry (19:35) - The Most Challenging & Most Rewarding Deals as an Agent - Hidetoshi Nakata (23:03) - Independent Appraisal of CAS Ruling on FFAR and the Arguments Presented by PROFAA (25:27) - Appraisal of CAS Ruling and PROFAA Argument (39:55) - Clarification & General Questions on CAS Ruling (41:12) - Impact of FFAR on South America and in Particular Argentina ------------------------------ Related Links : PROFAA Statement FIFA Statement CAS Award Document (PDF) Featured Articles : Fifty-two per cent of candidates pass the first FIFA football agent exam - FIFA Exclusive: Agent reveals just 18 per cent of UK agents passed new FIFA test ==================================== Show Links : Website : www.theagentsangle.com Threads : Instagram : www.instagram.com/theagentsangle Facebook : www.facebook.com/TheAgentsAngle Twitter : www.twitter.com/theagentsangle YouTube : www.youtube.com/@TheAgentsAngle ----------------------------------------------------- Theme music : Agent Red by Abbynoise Music from #Uppbeat : https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/agent-red ----------------------------------------------------

Wherein Number Six gets anger-cruised and Kirks a computer, and Colin Gordon "returns" as Number Two from "A.B. & C." — an episode obviously intended to follow this one, but which was broadcast before — apparently having survived his encounter with a tumescent scarlet telephone handset and the unheard but clearly menacing voice on the other end of that line.

Chris and Glen revisit the first of The Prisoner's nonessential episodes. It features Peter Bowles telling Patrick McGoohan “I want you,” a classic John McClane-style air-shaft constitutional, some dodgy fisticuffs, the plot of the 2010 Christopher Nolan film Inception, and a milk-drinking Colin Gordon as a Number Two menaced by an alarmingly erotic red phone. Nonessential, you say? Will we ever hear about Number Fourteen's Wonder Drug or this dream-viewing technology again? Perhaps, dear listenter. Perhaps.

The Paul Gough Audio Experience: Business Lessons for Physical Therapists
Most business owners are wanting a higher income from their efforts - I get that. But if you keep focusing on a higher income without asking “how do I use this income to get wealthy” - then you will always be working for a living harder than you could/should be. Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists, high-flying CEO's - a lot of them make a very good living. They have a high income but not many ever get to call themselves “WEALTHY”. They work very hard every day for their high income but if they ever stopped going to work - the income would soon dry up. “Wealth” and “high income” are very different, and I want to bring your attention to how you can get wealthy. Given that 80% of wealth creation is PSYCHOLOGY, (the other 20% is mechanics), in this episode I cover the biggest psychological pitfalls of wealth creation - and how to avoid getting snagged by the common mistakes business owners make, trying to achieve it. Note: Paul has just announced new dates for his “More Cash, More Profits” 3-Day Marketing Workshop - full details are here: www.ptprofitacademy.com/profits-workshop Thumbnail image: Here I am with some of the UK's, Ireland's and Scotlands, top Physio Clinic owners, John Prouse, Dave O'Sullivan, Ryan Rieder, Gav Noble and Colin Gordon, after wrapping up day 2 of my UK Mastermind at the Paul Gough Physio Rooms
The Paul Gough Audio Experience: Business Lessons for Physical Therapists
This Audio Experience is an intimate recording of “Vicki” teaching a group of Top UK Physio Business Owners (at a recent Mastermind Event I held at my Clinic in Hartlepool…) Every 3 months I get together with a group of Top Business Owners (invitation only) - and because it's held at my clinic, I take the chance to bring some of my amazing staff into the room and let the questions fly about what we do here day-to-day, and explain how the business operates so well without me… Vicki is my Clinics' Manageress - PLUS, she has the vital role of being one of the people in our “sales” dept. You might hear me call it the “Follow-Up Team” or the “Nurture Team” - but basically, it's sales. There isn't a successful business alive that doesn't have a great sales department - and just because it's healthcare, doesn't mean that we are exempt from needing to sell the value of our services. For most Physiotherapy Businesses - the salesman is the referring DOCTOR. That's fine if you are happy to rely upon Doctor referrals - but if you are wanting to be successful without relying upon Doctors, then knowing how to "sell your value" is something you will need to get VERY good at! No questions are off limits in this recording - and the questions come in thick and fast. Vicki shares a lot of things she's learned from me over the years with a big emphasis on converting more leads to paying patients at higher prices (sales!).

Protests that turn violent have been a constant throughout American history. Professor Ashley Howard explains their origins, and how new laws, policing methods, and social media have changed the way people demonstrate.

Americans seem to be more concerned about economic inequality today than they have been in living memory. The Occupy Movement (“We are the 99%”) is only the most visible sign of this growing unease. But what are the dimensions of inequality in the United States? How have they changed over the past century? Are we living in a new Gilded Age in which the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer? In his “book” (it’s really an innovative website) Growing Apart: A Political History of American Inequality (Institute for Policy Studies, 2013), Colin Gordon sets out to answer these questions. Using an interesting array of charts, graphs, and videos, Gordon tells the story of inequality in the U.S. in modern times. Gordon shows that in recent decades the poor have been getting relatively poorer and the rich have been getting relatively richer. The “gap”–already considerable–is growing. In this interview we discuss growing inequality and the reasons behind it. We also touch on what is perhaps the most important question in the debate: does inequality as it is found in the U.S. really matter economically, spiritually, and politically?

In this podcast a special look at the issues involved in Branding in a Recession with Richard Hayes, Marketing Director, Warburtons - leading UK bakers, who describes a number of strategies that can be applied to help brands thrive in a recession. There is also an interview with Colin Gordon, CEO Consumer Foods Glanbia Foods who talks about the recently launched Love Irish Food initiative that a number of Irish food brands have launched. Over 30 of Ireland's leading food and drink brands are behind Love Irish Food, and it has been established to promote Irish manufactured food and drink brands to consumers, in a bid to help safeguard the future of Ireland's largest indigenous industry. Leading economist Jim Power was unveiled as the Chairman of the organisation. The participating brands range from some of the largest indigenously-produced FMCG brands to smaller artisan producers. Member brands include Barry's Tea, Tayto, Ballygowan, Batchelors, Avonmore, Cadbury, Goodfella's, Cully and Sully, Flahavans and Follain.
Dr. Gordon is a senior research consultant at the Iowa Policy Project, for which he has written (with Peter Fisher and Elaine Ditsler) a number of reports on health coverage, economic development, and wages and working conditions (including the biennial State of Working Iowa series). He is interested in public policy and political economy within the United States. His first book, New Deals: Business, Labor and Politics, 1920-1935 (Cambridge University Press, 1994), is a major reconsideration of the relationship of the Roosevelt Administration to the business community in the 1930s. His second book, Dead on Arrival: The Politics of Health in Twentieth Century America (Princeton University Press, 2003), is a history of health care policy in the United States across the twentieth century. His third book, Mapping Decline: St. Louis and the Fate of the American City (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008) traces the transformation of metropolitan St. Louis in the 20th century, focusing on local regulation of land use, including restrictive deed covenants, real estate restrictions, and municipal zoning. Mapping Decline employs both conventional archival research and digital (GIS) mapping of a range of archival, demographic, and political data. Colin Gordon received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1990. Professor Gordon is the current Chair of the Department of History at the University of Iowa.
This week we have Professor Colin Gordon of the University of Iowa on the show talking about his new book Mapping Decline: St. Louis and the Fate of the American City (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008). Professor Gordon is the author of two previous monographs, Dead on Arrival: The Politics of Health Care in Twentieth Century America (Princeton University Press, 2004) and New Deals: Business, Labor, and Politics in America, 1920-1935 (Cambridge University Press, 1994). Mapping Decline breaks new ground not only in our understanding of the decay of the American inner-city, but also in its use of quantitative data in combination with GIS mapping technologies. The book is full of beautiful maps that paint a vivid, if somewhat depressing, picture of American urban history. Philip J. Ethington of the University of Southern California calls Mapping Decline “a searing indictment of policymakers, realtors, and mortgage lenders for deliberate decisions that sacrificed their own city of St. Louis on the altar of race.” That it is.
