#495 Speared by a Moose - Richard is still in Norwich and has more local news and celebrates the city's most famous son. His guest is the phenomenon that is Joe Pasquale. In the chat Joe reveals more than any guest has done before, literally and physically as he recounts many tales of clumsiness and accident, including how he nearly died the perfect comedy bath (again literally), the funniest telling of a having a badly broken leg after being run over, how a flight with the Red Arrows ended in excruciating pain and an upsetting encounter with some bum grapes. Plus how Ken Dodd helped the young Pasquale become a hit, the boredom of I'm a Celebrity, an amazing story about what happens if you piss off (or piss on) Christopher Dean, how a comic real life explosion led to Joe playing Frank Spencer, a legendary episode of Doctors and connecting with his son. It's an amazing podcast from a terrifically funny man.

A new survey of South Africa's renewable-energy development pipeline, and its potential implications for grid planning and investment, reveals that some 66 GW of wind and solar projects are at various stages of development in South Africa and that a number of these projects are envisaged to be coupled with battery storage. The pipeline also includes some 2 GW of gas-to-power. The ‘2023 South African Renewable Energy Grid Survey', which has been compiled by Eskom in collaboration with the South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) and the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) indicates that about 18 GW is at an advanced stage of development. This means that environmental approvals have been granted, the site measurement campaign and feasibility work have been completed and a power purchase agreement has either been signed, is close to signature, or the project is ready to participate in the next public procurement bid window. Projects in this category would, thus, be able to enter into commercial operation within three years if granted a grid connection by Eskom or a municipality. Another 21 GW is defined as being under development, while a further 27 GW is described as being at an early stage of development. Eskom senior manager for strategic planning Ronald Marais reports that the survey has been undertaken in an effort to enhance grid planning, given the importance of the grid to ensuring that new generation is connected expeditiously so as to reduce, and eventually eliminate, loadshedding. “The survey is a key input to the Transmission Development Plan assumptions for spatial allocation of renewable generation. “This provides key locations for strengthening and providing access,” Marais tells Engineering News. The results point to an emerging trend for potential investors to pair variable solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind projects with battery storage, with more than 19 GW of the solar PV and 7.5 GW of the wind projects surveyed coupled with batteries. Some 21 GW of wind and 13 GW of solar is being progressed independently of storage, while about 300 MW of battery storage was being pursued independently of a renewables generator. SAWEA CEO Niveshen Govender says the survey offers the renewables industry an opportunity to help influence grid planning. He notes that, from a wind perspective, developments are initially located predominantly in the Northern, Western and Eastern Cape provinces, but that from 2027 onwards both KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga emerge as important wind jurisdictions. Govender believes the survey has reinforced the need for co-location of technologies such as wind, solar and batteries to optimise the use of the grid, as well as for curtailment to support the future development of renewables. “The curtailment regime needs to be well thought out and well managed within the contractual structures to ensure positive outcomes. “Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of industry responses indicated a willingness for curtailment in grid-constrained areas with many suggesting up to 5% being acceptable – this is very much in line with international examples,” Govender says. SAPVIA spokesperson Frank Spencer tells Engineering News that not all of the projects in the development pipeline can actually be built or connected, owing to both grid and skills constraints. “But what it does show is tremendous interest from the private sector to develop power projects in South Africa and help solve loadshedding challenges,” Spencer adds.

What are the challenges and hope facing the evolving Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)? Join Lee for a conversation with the Rev. Dr. Frank Clark Spencer as he shares how the Board of Pension - where he serves as President - is uniquely positioned to offer the Church innovative and creative tools that support the well being of ministers amidst this change.

Frank Spencer is the founder and Creative Director of Kedge, a global foresight, innovation, and strategic design firm, and co-founder and Lead Instructor of The Futures School, He has worked on strategic foresight projects for companies such as Kraft, Mars, Marriott, and The Walt Disney Company and has spoken about foresight around the globe for the last 20 years.

Dear reader, it is late on a Friday evening. The 969media team are toasting the the completion of another barnstorming episode of Crunch & Roll with a dry sherry. Then comes the message. Perhaps some parts of this episode could, as the great Frank Spencer once said, get us in a little bit of trouble. Immediately our heroes spring into action, armed with nought but a chinagraph pencil and a razor blade. Hours later, the necessary edits have been made. The tape on the floor goes into the safe, perhaps one day to see the light of day... What is left is a 9.75/10, but at least we won't get sued. Rick Houghton is this week's guest. He's a legend of radio in the north of England and in Dubai. Part of the all-conquering Radio City line up of the 90s and 2000s and pioneer of radio in the Middle East. His stories include giving away gold bars on air in Dubai, a PD who lived in a campervan in the radio station car park, and being more popular than Boyzone in Liverpool! CAUTION: This episode contains a mention of an Optimod (as well as strong language and adult content).

The ideological war that has raged between the youth and the traditional environments that they are born into is nothing new. However, our present-day “meta crisis” - the confluence of climate change, supply chain disruption, authoritarian governance, digital misinformation, extreme economic inequality, and a rising sense of impending global armed conflict - is stirring our youth to become more involved in civic activism than during any other time in history. If a call to avert collapse is motivating young people in unprecedented ways, how much more might cultivating empathy, hope, and transformation through foresight empower them (and all of us!) to co-create a brighter future for all? Join Futurists Yvette Montero Salvatico and Frank Spencer as they talk about how today's youth are changing the world, and why Futures Thinking should be a critical part of their toolkit to inspire better tomorrows.

s South Africa's efforts to plug the gaps in our electricity supply grind slowly forward there's a clear hole emerging in the plans for new, renewable energy generation. The hole is the absence of storage, of batteries, that are being rapidly deployed now around the word at a fast pace. In SA though, batteries are a sort of afterthought. Assuming the government planned 513MW of battery storage are actually built, storage will still be just a fraction of the new generation procured. It doesn't make sense. In this edition of Podcasts from the Edge, Peter Bruce talks to Frank Spencer, head of deployment at Bushveld Energy, a subsidiary of Bushveld Mining, which is listed in London. Bushveld is building a plant near East London to make electrolyte for its Vanadium Redox Flow Battery. Spencer says a plentiful supply of vanadium in SA shouldn't be over looked as the rest of the world rushes into lithium ion batteries. The VRFB lasts way longer, doesn't catch fire and we can build it here. To prove it, Bushveld not only making electrolyte in East London, it is building a 3MW solar plant at its mine near Brits in North West to feed a new 1MW/h battery, a demonstration VRFB, to show potential new clients. If Bushveld gets it right, towns and cities could go the direct battery route and get Eskom to charge them when it is not load-shedding. It's a new option. Different, and local.

President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement that a feed-in tariff is to be created to incentivise businesses and households to invest in rooftop solar is likely to further stimulate the so-called ‘silent revolution' that is already under way as South Africans seek to navigate their way through an intensifying load-shedding crisis. The President confirmed that the feed-in tariff would incentivise homes and businesses to sell surplus power to Eskom. This represents a material shift in position given that the State-owned utility has hitherto not allowed for residential solar, resulting in more than 27 000 unregistered solar installations across its distribution network alone. The handful of municipalities that do currently allow such micro installations to feed electricity into their grids have done so only when households and businesses remain “net consumers”, which means they are selling less than they buy. That said, on the very day of Ramaphosa's announcement, the City of Cape Town confirmed that it would, in future, permit commercial and industrial small-scale embedded generators (SSEGs) to sell more electricity to the city than they use. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis also announced that the city would pay cash for such electricity, rather than merely extending municipal-bill credits and also unveiled a registration process for those commercial and industrial SSEGs keen to take up the offer. TARIFF STRUCTURE IN FOCUS As the legal space for small-scale distributed generators opens, however, the tariff and the tariff structure are poised to become increasingly important. There is particular concern that poor consumers should not be burdened, and that Eskom and the municipalities are able to extricate themselves from their utility death spirals through a migration to a cost-reflective tariff that fully reflects and recovers the cost of the grid and ancillary services. In preparation for the prospect of having an ever-increasing number of prosumers on its network, Eskom has approached the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) with a tariff restructuring proposition that seeks to separate fixed and variable costs. The utility's proposal to implement a fixed monthly charge of more than R900 for grid access, whether or not a household has a solar system, has sparked particular debate and concern, even ahead of any approval by the regulator. Solar Photovoltaic Industry Association board member Frank Spencer, also of Bushveld Energy, says the move to a more cost-reflective tariff that distinguishes between fixed and energy charges is appropriate, particularly given the prospect of a possible feed-in tariff. However, he argues that Nersa should still ensure that these are indeed cost-reflective and fair across the board. “At the moment, there are huge discrepancies between various municipal tariffs, and Nersa should do more to bring these tariffs into being more fairly aligned with each other while also allowing for fair access to the grid for SSEGs,” Spencer tells Engineering News. Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies director at Stellenbosch University Professor Sampson Mamphweli believes the regulator should consider developing a methodology and process similar to the one used to determine Eskom's wholesale tariffs so that retail tariffs can be standardised. He is more cautious, though, about whether SSEGs should be allowed to immediately sell more electricity into the grid than they buy, given the importance of such revenue to both Eskom and most municipalities. Nevertheless, Mamphweli is also strongly in favour of splitting the energy and fixed charges so that consumers without solar do not subsidise those with such systems and Eskom's network costs are fairly recovered. Mamphweli and Spencer both support Eskom's proposal for a time-of-use structure, explaining that it will ensure that energy is priced according to what it actually costs to produce at different hours of the day. “By having the right tariffs,...

This Xmas special episode is a rewind to a new edition of one of my favourite episodes with actor, comedian and singer Michael Crawford. It was an absolute privilege to talk to Michael and particularly poignant as Michael had helped me get through a chronic illness that he had suffered himself some years before. Michael has had an extraordinary career in TV, the theatre and film, working alongside Gene Kelly, Barbara Streisand, Walter Matthau and Andrew Lloyd Webber. He has been described as one of our most outstanding all-around performers. Michael talks about his early career, how his role as Frank Spencer in 'Some Mothers' became a springboard for a film career and the painstaking detail and training he went into to perform the role of the Phantom in 'Phantom of the Opera' - an extraordinary Broadway and international success. In these difficult times, I hope Michael's stories and reflections will bring a smile to your face and a warm glow to your heart. Finally, the disaster that interrupted his later career and how he recovered to renew his career on the West End-stage.

Frank Spencer was an all-around great guy! A hard-working man. A family man. A good friend. Everybody liked him except one person, Maria Spencer. For years, Frank told everyone how he would die and who would do it because he was told how and who as well as stalked, his house burned down, and his girlfriend's house burnt down. And the cops did nothing until he was dead. This is one of the most frustrating cases we've done because it could have been prevented.

Today's podcast guest is Frank Spencer III, President of Aztec Contractors Inc.  When he first started in construction, his father offered to sell him a dormant construction business for just a $1,000. He essentially just purchased the rights to the name, but the story does not end there. His father also charged him rent to use the space where he set up his first office. Even knowing that Frank had very little funds to work with. To hear the rest of the story tune in all the way to the end on the show. But all I can say is that today Aztec contractors is now a prominent construction company in El Paso, Texas, who is working on several high-profile school projects. In today's episode we discuss family kids and what he values the most. How long it took him to win a contract after becoming 8a certified, the how, who and how it was given it to him. Even after interviewing more than a dozen construction companies, it seems like their stories never get old. Each one is like a movie in which a protagonist overcomes the unfathomable to become the hero of their own story.

An accident-prone, underachieving social misfit, he is loved by his wife and no one else; his will to keep going despite it being obvious to everyone else that he is making things worse is not too ingratiating a trait.Written by Raymond AllenDirected By Michael Mills & Sidney LotterybyProduced by Michael Mills & Sidney LotterybyA BBC TV ProductionMeet Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is available here: https://bit.ly/3dTS7qXThe Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.Subscribe for a new episode each Monday.Get in touch - we're @ComedySlab on Twitter and ComedySlab on Facebook.

Born in Dagenham, made in The Royal Marines. Lee lives in Devon and was a serving Royal Marine for 24 years. After coming through three operational tours of Afghanistan unscathed, Lee lost his right leg after being hit by flying debris as he was helping a motorist who had crashed into the central reservation of the M3 in Surrey in 2014. Although his right leg was severed in the impact, the serviceman's training kicked in and he was able to instruct bystanders on how to tie a tourniquet and help paramedics to save his life. Following a medically induced coma, five weeks in hospital and a long stay in rehabilitation, while recovering from his injuries Lee began planning his future. In 2014 Lee was shortlisted for the Pride of Britain award. In 2015 Lee set-off to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in just a rowing boat. The Row-to-Recovery team, a team of four injured veterans had just 3 legs between them. In February 2016, some 46 days, 6 hours and 49 minutes later the team rowed into land as the first British military all amputee team of four to row an ocean.   Lee is became the world's first physically disabled person to row from mainland Europe to mainland South America on his own, setting off in 2019.    http://www.leespencer.co.uk/about.html  

In his sermon for the 5th Sunday in Lent, the Rev. Frank Spencer says God simply commands Ezekiel, “Prophesy!” It’s not so much an answer as an invitation to participate in whatever God is doing in the world--and that invitation is ours as well.

RHLSTP #174: Peter Baynham - I Am Delighted. Rich meets his audience. Can he resist being a dick? Spoiler Alert- of course not, but never mind because he's about to meet the man behind almost every great comedy star of the last 20 years, it's Too Gorgeous Peter 'Too Gorgeous' Baynham. The ex-flat mates discuss what happens when a 16 year-old Frank Spencer is put in charge of a super tanker; the most inappropriate way to greet the death of someone's loved one; who was right in the war over bread; Jean Valjean bumming people while looking like Peter Baynham; what it's like to meet Adam Sandler; how Peter nearly turned down Borat and somehow didn't turn down Arthur; what Chris Morris is like in real life (he's nice); the lost answerphone messages that could destroy careers; Lee and Herring's part in the creation of I'm Alan Partridge; running away from an audience; and the mad thoughts that plague the diseased minds of (at least these two) comedians.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Check out our website and become a badger and see extra content http://rhlstp.co.ukSee details of the RHLSTP tour dates http://richardherring.com/gigsBuy DVDs and Books at http://gofasterstripe.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week Libby Purves is joined by Jo Wilding, Michele Dotrice, Ronald Blythe and Jane Green. In 2003 Jo Wilding spent several months in Iraq before, during and after the invasion, documenting civilian casualties and writing a weblog which became a book, 'Don't Shoot the Clowns'. She also set up and ran a small circus working with traumatised and internally displaced children there. A new play, Don't Shoot The Clowns, by Paul Hodson, inspired by Jo's book, is currently touring the UK. Michele Dotrice an actor probably best known for playing Betty, the long-suffering wife of Frank Spencer in comedy 'Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em'. She comes from a great acting dynasty, the daughter of actor Roy Dotrice and wife of the late Edward Woodward. She is currently starring in JB Priestley's comedy 'When We Are Married' at the Garrick Theatre. Ronald Blythe is a writer whose career began in 1960 with the publication of 'A Treasonable Growth', a novel set in Suffolk and reissued this year. However much of his considerable achievement has been non-fiction, most notably 'Akenfield', a portrait of an English village in the middle years of the 1960s, his Wormingford Diary in the Church Times, and his essays on John Clare and Penguin editions of Hazlitt and Hardy. His latest book 'Aftermath: Selected Writings 1960-2010' is published by Black Dog Books. Jane Green is an amateur astronomer. She first became interested in astronomy during her sixteen year career at sea, first in the Merchant Navy and then as an officer on cruise ships when she gave informal guided tours of the night sky during outdoor cocktail parties on deck. She is the author of the new Haynes Astronomy Manual: The Practical Guide to the Night Sky.
