Podcast appearances and mentions of Gareth Thomas

ADAM HENLEY on BLAKE'S 7 series oneFirst broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on April 6th 2025.A couple of months ago, a new voice joined us on VISION ON SOUND in the form of ADAM HENLEY, and he introduced himself by talking about both his personal television history and a little bit about THE WEST WING.This went so well, that ADAM felt like making another appearance and, as he'd just finished watching the exciting new Blu-Ray release of the first series of BLAKE'S SEVEN, we thought we'd spend an hour having a bit of a chat about this iconic late 1970s BBC science-fiction series as it gets re-introduced to its long-standing fans and, perhaps a brand new generation eager to explore this fascinating dystopian drama.BLAKE'S SEVEN was a science-fiction series created by TERRY NATION who had been one of the early writers on DOCTOR WHO, for which he created the iconic Daleks, and he had also created the post apocalyptic drama series SURVIVORS for the BBC a few years earlier, so this exploration of a rebellion against the forces of the evil Federation was definitely just the sort of bleak vision of the future that you might expect from him.The series itself lasted for four series and fifty-two fifty minute episodes and ended on a shattering cliffhanger that definitely left its scars on a generation of television viewers just before Christmas 1981.Its first season introduced BLAKE played by GARETH THOMAS and his loyal–ish gang of rebels and freedom-fighters as played by SALLY KNYVETTE as space pilot JENNA, MICHAEL KEATING as lock-picking wizard VILA, DAVID JACKSON as the man-mountain GAN, JAN CHAPPELL as the telepathic alien CALLY, and PAUL DARROW as the enigmatic AVON who would eventually take the leading role as the series progressed. They were helped enormously by the fact that they luckily managed to acquire the super starship LIBERATOR and its wise master computer ZEN, as voiced by PETER TUDDENHAM, and this was how the original SEVEN was made up.Towards the end of the first series, and another devastating cliffhanger that helped give the show an astonishingly high profile at the time, another super computer ORAC was introduced, which changed the dynamic of the show in its second year.The forces of the Federation were mostly represented by JACQUELINE PEARCE as SERVALAN, a powerful and ruthless woman prone to wearing astonishing gowns, and STEPHEN GREIF as TRAVIS, a hate-fuelled leather-clad cyborg with an eyepatch and a gun for a hand, and they crossed swords with BLAKE and his crew on several occasions during the second half of this series.Fans of BLAKE'S SEVEN had been waiting a long time for it to get the Blu-Ray release that they felt it deserved, with many of its special effects updated from their somewhat low-budget and dated roots, and ADAM was one of the enthusiastic early adopters, and was very eager to share his enthusiasm with us today.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

Quick, put on your secret black leather uniform and prepare yourself for moral dubiousness as we prepare ourselves for the upcoming film- ‘Star Trek: Section 31.' With the film debuting in just a few days after this episode drops, Miles and Charlie prepare themselves by choosing three episodes tangentially related to the forthcoming film, in ‘Inquisition,' we and Julian Bashier meet Section 31 and all Bashier wants are Scone and Jams, then in ‘Yesterday's Enterprise,' we slip into an alternate universe/Tasha Yar fixfic and meet Captain Rachel Garrett (who will apprantly be in this movie) and we encounter that most deadly Star Trek threat… WALL ROCKS and then in Saints of Imperfection, Captain Pike meets the worst kind of secret operatives, catty drama kids who can't shut up about how secret they all are, will any of this actually relate to the film? We don't know, but we've assembled a team of our own to talk about it in the next episode! Inquisition (11:52) Yesterday's Enterprise (46:00) Saints of Imperfection (1:16:08) Talking Points: Favourite Spy TV Shows, Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, A whostrobot, Charlie is trying to play every Super Mario Brothers and he's just wrong inside, Section 31 just feels like a 15 year old's attempt at edgy, we talk realpolitik for a second, The Prisoner, Jam and Scones, a surprise Jeffrey Combs appearance, William Sadler also being Death in Bill and Ted, the subtle differences with the alternate Enterprise characters, this is a Tasha Yar fixfic, wall rocks are useful… maybe, Picard being a bit more like his ‘ST:Picard' counterpart here, bloody bloody deaths, the mysterious ‘Arratia', Section 31 is run like Starbucks'. Tech differences in Discovery, how Mirror Phillipe gets tedious really quickly, Miles talks Blake's 7, Miles and Charlie LOVE Death Stranding, EastEnders, Tilly being earnestly hopepunk (I hate that term), Spock is a kleptomaniac, Pedants Corner: Roj Blake is played by GARETH Thomas, not GARTH Thomas

[Spoiler alert! This series is almost 50 years old but we will be revealing - around 90 minutes - in who spectacularly dies in the literal cliffhanger to episode 7. You have been warned!] Hey sis, it's Christmas, but this month Andy and Martin are visiting sunny Elounda on Crete for Michael J. Bird's classic revenge drama Who Pays the Ferryman? Featuring Jack Hedley, Betty Arvaniti, Neil McCarty and Patience Collier the series gripped the British public in 1977 and after its BBC2 transmission was immediately repeated on BBC1. The following year it became an even huger hit in the Netherlands. The series also features prominent guest star roles for Lalla Ward, Gareth Thomas and Sally Knyvette, just before the roles that would make all three sci-fi icons. As they review this 8-part series the pair consider the birth of the package holiday, influence on Howards Way, and the inherent dangers of tiny tartan swim shorts. There are also lots of behind-the-scenes facts, many of which are admittedly lifted from the research of Dave Rice - do visit his website and buy his book. Patience Collier's biography by Vanessa Morton is also worthy of your attention. Oh you daughters of Themis! Next Time: 'X' (and yes we're going to be cheating)

During National HIV Testing Week 2024, which coincided with the Six Nations, Gareth Thomas took part in powerful panel discussion on the importance of HIV testing and overcoming stigma. To raise awareness about the importance of HIV testing, Gareth was joined by an inspiring group of people, including Richard Angell, CEO of Terrence Higgins Trust; former England rugby player Nolli Waterman; Dr. Nneka Nwokolo, leading HIV clinician; and Sarah Mulindwa, sexual health nurse and TV presenter. The panel discussed the challenges and misconceptions surrounding HIV, focusing on how stigma can prevent individuals from seeking testing and treatment. They explored ways we can enhance accessibility and confidentiality in HIV testing, such as home testing kits, as well as discussing what living with HIV is like today. Thanks to the advances in HIV treatment and care, people living with HIV have a normal life expectancy and on effective treatment cannot pass HIV onto sexual partners. The discussion featured personal stories and insights, highlighting how community support, education, and open dialogue are key to changing attitudes toward HIV.

Gareth Rhys Owen introduces a celebration of the rugby life of JPR Williams, who has died aged 74. Recorded in 2019 to mark his 70th birthday, this programme hears from those who knew the Wales and Lions full-back best, including the late Phil Bennett, Steve Fenwick, Bob Hiller and Gareth Thomas.With his mutton chops, flowing locks and rolled-down socks he was instantly recognisable. An icon not just of Welsh rugby but of global sport. JPR is one of a select group of six Welshmen who won 3 Grand Slams in an international career that spanned three decades. He won 55 caps for Wales in an era when they reigned supreme – he took to the field 11 times against England and 11 times, he emerged victorious.JPR also toured twice with the British Lions – in 1971 in New Zealand with the series 2-1 in the Lions favour, he dropped a goal from 45 metres that led to a drawn game and meant they still remain the only Lions side to win a test series against the All Blacks. In 1974 he was a key member of the 'Invincibles' who won 21 of their 22 matches, drawing the final test with South Africa.Presenter Ross Harries celebrates John Peter Rhys Williams' life in rugby in the company of some of those who know him best: John Taylor, his teammate at London Welsh, Wales and the Lions and also best man at his wedding; Wales and Lions legends Phil Bennett and Steve Fenwick; former England captain and 71 Lions teammate Bob Hiller; and Wales centurion and Grand Slam-winning captain Gareth Thomas, himself another Bridgend old boy.It's widely accepted that he was one of a kind – unique and singular presence on the rugby field. JPR was fearless, he was peerless - but was he the greatest?

Former Wales rugby captain Gareth Thomas has settled a legal dispute with an ex-partner who accused him of "deceptively" transmitting HIV to him. Ian Baum alleged Mr Thomas hid his HIV status and "failed to take reasonable care" to ensure he did not pass it on. The former British and Irish Lion said he had settled the case for £75,000 plus costs, but it was not an admission of liability or guilt. The reaction in the media and the comments on social media have been devastating for the mental health of people living with HIV, already too often marginalised and treated with suspicion. In this episode Graeme chats to Sarah Macadam the CEO of Thames Valley Positive support and Jessica Harding, the deputy CEO of the HIV charity. The two also host the award nominated podcast "The HIV podcast" and specialise in guiding both their service users and podcast listeners around the world through the legalities, facts and history of HIV. Here we hear their expert take on the issues this case has brought up. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/outcastuk/message

The beauty of open source software and libraries is that you're not stuck with a single option some vendor is offering. This is especially true when that support is poor and antiquated.

We have been doing an amazing job at raising the profile of Rocking Horse Media and the productions they have been working on. Horses & Biscuits was designed to keep banging the drum about the fine work they are doing with Henry House, a TV pilot that is production as we speak.But it has been years since AL and Gareth have had a chilled out...chat. This interview is designed to speak to Gareth as a human being, not a director, not a writer, no. I want to find out how much the constant planning and organising has taken it's toll on him and we get in pretty deep.Gareth opens up about his drinking and how it ruined his life, then about how giving up the booze opened up doors he never would have imagined. He is now working with genuinely famous people, he is responsible for cast and crew from all over the UK. Rocking Horse Media is in partnership with Derwin College, offering learning and work experience opportunities to students there. The possibilities are endless.This podcast is not designed to bring you on board with Henry House (although you definitely should) it is to talk about the good things that can happen when can kick bad habits and have a little faith in yourself.We also speak to the owner of Liar Liar, a stunning cafe at the heart of Oswestry where this podcast was recorded. Thanks for the great location, thanks for the chat and thanks for the lemon and ginger tea that kept my vocal chords intact during this interview!

Today we are joined by someone who is quite frankly, a Rugby Legend - Gareth Thomas CBE! One of the many ways Gareth keeps fit is going for a run. It's the one time he really lives in the NOW, and if he could live his whole life how he feels when he's running he certainly would want to. When he's not smashing his running PB he's smashing the stigma attached to HIV along with the amazing people behind Tackle HIV. In fact this episode is being recorded in New York, just a day before Gareth jumps on the microphone to do a TED Talk about Stigma and Shame - something Gareth has had to learn to navigate. You're about to learn that imagination is key when it comes to running, and also there's a lot of good in the running community! HIV is nothing to be ashamed of To show some love, and get more information about 'Tackle HIV' go to: tacklehiv.org Why not support them at the Cardiff Half Marathon 2022?

Gareth Thomas is one of the most successful and famous Welsh rugby players of all time. He's also celebrated for being the first rugby player in the world to come out as gay. But when he was diagnosed with HIV, he was wracked with fear because of the stigma the condition carries. He started telling a few people close to him about his HIV status, but one of his confidants started blackmailing him. Gareth decided to take matters into his own hands and reveal his secret in a very public way. He's written a book called Stronger.
