Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeff Wayne

Jeff Wayne in conversation with Remfry Dedman about The War Of The Worlds boxset from our friends at Madfish.   

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds 是由Jeff Wayne 创作的一张摇滚歌剧风格的专辑，于1978年发行。这张专辑根据H.G.威尔斯的科幻小说《世界大战》改编，通过音乐和旁白的形式，生动地展现了火星人入侵地球的故事。音乐融合了摇滚、古典和电子音乐元素，既有强烈的节奏，也有丰富的旋律。这张专辑不仅在音乐上具有创新性，还在文化传承上发挥了重要作用，将经典的科幻故事以全新的形式呈现给听众。记者：[作为叙述者]在十九世纪的最后几年，没有人会相信人类事务是从永恒的太空世界中被监视的。没有人能想到我们会被仔细检查，因为有人用显微镜研究在一滴水中成群和繁殖的生物。很少有人甚至考虑过在其他星球上生活的可能性，然而，在太空海湾之外，比我们优越得不可估量的思想以羡慕的眼光看待这个地球，他们缓慢而肯定地制定了反对我们的计划。在8月12日的午夜，一个巨大的发光气体从火星喷发，并加速向地球飞去。穿过两亿英里的虚空，无形地向我们飞来，第一枚导弹给地球带来了如此多的灾难。当我看着时，又有一股气体。这是另一枚导弹，正在出发。接下来的十个晚上就是这样的。从火星喷出的耀斑——亮绿色，在它身后画出绿色的薄雾——一个美丽但不知为何令人不安的景象。天文学家奥美向我保证，我们没有危险。他确信，在那个偏远的、禁止的星球上，不可能有生物。他说，任何来自火星的可能性都是百万分之一。“任何来自火星的可能性都是百万分之一——但它们还是来了！”记者：[作为旁白]然后是第一枚导弹接近地球的夜晚。它被认为是一颗普通的流星，但第二天，在Common的中间有一个巨大的陨石坑，Ogilvy来检查那里的东西：一个圆柱体，30码长，发着热的光芒......从里面传来微弱的运动声。突然，顶部开始移动、旋转、拧开，Ogilvy担心里面有一个人试图逃跑。他冲向圆柱体，但在他被金属烧伤之前，强烈的热量阻止了他。他说，任何来自火星的可能性都是百万分之一。“任何来自火星的可能性都是百万分之一——但它们还是来了！”“是的，任何来自火星的可能性都是百万比一，”他说。“任何来自火星的可能性都是百万分之一——但它们还是来了！”记者：[作为叙述者]现在对我来说，每个人都度过了那个夜晚，好像和其他人一样。从火车站传来分流列车的声音，响声和隆隆声，几乎随着距离的流逝而变得柔和。这一切看起来都很安全，很宁静。Horsell Common和Heat Ray記者：[作為旁白]第二天早上，一群人聚集在公共上，被圓柱的擰開催眠了。当盖子突然掉下来时，两英尺的闪亮螺丝被突出！两个发光的圆盘状眼睛出现在边缘上方。一个巨大的、圆润的体积，比熊还大，慢慢升起，像湿皮革一样闪闪发光。它无唇的嘴在抖动和奴役，蛇状的触角蠕动着，笨拙的身体蠕动着。几个年轻人悄悄地靠近了坑。一个高大的漏斗升起，然后一束无形的热光从人跳到人身上，有明亮的眩光，每个漏斗都立刻变成了火。在这种野蛮的、超凡脱俗的热射线的触摸下，每棵树和灌木都变成了一团火焰。人们用爪子从Common上走来，我也跑了。我感觉自己被玩弄了，当我处于安全边缘时，这个神秘的死亡会从我身上跳下来，把我打倒。最后，我到达了梅伯里山，在昏暗凉爽的家中，我为我的报纸写了一个帐户，然后陷入不安分、闹鬼的睡眠。我被外星人从坑里敲打的声音吵醒，急忙去火车站买报纸。在我周围，日常生活——工作、吃饭、睡觉——就像无数年一样平静地持续着。在霍斯尔公社，火星人继续敲打和搅拌，不眠不倦，不知疲倦地在他们制造的机器上工作。时不时地，一束光，就像军舰探照灯的光束，扫过公共——热射线准备随之而来。下午，一个连兵通过并部署在公共区的边缘，形成警戒线。那天晚上，发生了一起猛烈的车祸，我惊恐地意识到，我的家现在在火星人的热射范围内。黎明时分，一颗带着绿色雾气的流星降落，像夏天的闪电一样闪着陆。这是第二个气缸。炮兵和战斗机器记者：[作为旁白]坑里的锤声和枪声越来越大。听到有人悄悄进入房子的声音，我的恐惧上升了。然后我看到那是一个年轻的炮兵，疲惫不胜，身上沾满了血迹和污垢。炮兵：有人在吗？记者：进来吧。来——喝这个。炮兵：谢谢你。记者：发生了什么事？炮兵：他们消灭了我们。数百人死亡——也许数千人。记者：热射线？炮兵：火星人！他们在他们制造的机器的引擎盖内——腿上巨大的金属东西！行走的巨型机器——他们攻击了我们！他们把我们消灭了！记者：机器？炮兵：战斗机器！捡起人，把他们砸在树上。只是金属块，但他们清楚地知道自己在做什么。记者：嗯。昨晚又来了一个气缸。炮兵：是的。它看起来是去往伦敦的。记者：伦敦！嘉莉！我从未梦想过Carrie和她父亲在这么多英里外会有危险。我必须马上去伦敦。炮兵：还有我。必须向总部报告——如果还剩下什么。记者：[作为旁白]在Byfleet，我们遇到了一家旅馆，但它空无一人。炮兵：大家都死了吗？记者：不是所有人。看！六门大炮，炮手待命。炮兵：弓箭对抗闪电。他们还没有看到热射线。记者：[作为旁白]我们匆匆忙忙地沿着去韦布里奇的路上。突然，发生了一场猛烈的爆炸。地面被吹起，窗户碎裂，一阵烟雾缭绕在空中。炮兵：看！他们在那里！我告诉过你什么？记者：[作为旁白]很快，四个战斗机器接二接一个地出现了。巨大的三脚架，比最高的尖顶还高，跨过松树，砸碎了松树。闪闪发光的金属行走引擎。每个人都带着一个巨大的漏斗，我惊恐地意识到我以前见过这种可怕的东西。第五台机器出现在远岸。它把自己提升到全高，在空中高高绽放漏斗——幽灵般的、可怕的热射线袭击了小镇。当它击中时，所有五台战斗机器都欢欣鼓舞，发出震耳欲聋的嚎叫，像雷声一样咆哮。火星人：乌拉！乌拉！记者：[作为旁白]我们现在看到的六把枪同时开火，斩首了一台战斗机器。引擎盖内的火星人被杀，溅到四面风中，尸体现在只不过是一个复杂的金属装置，旋转着被摧毁。当其他怪物前进时，人们盲目地逃跑了，炮兵也在其中，但我跳进水里躲起来，直到被迫呼吸。现在枪又说话了，但这次是热射线把他们送到了遗忘。火星人：乌拉！记者：[作为叙述者]随着白色的闪光，热射线扫过河流。被烫着，半盲人，痛苦地，我踉踉跄跄地跳着，嘶嘶地向岸边走去。我无助地倒下了，在火星人的全视线中，只期待死亡。战斗机器的脚靠近我的头，然后又抬起来，当四个火星人带走他们倒下的战伙伴的残骸时......我意识到奇迹般地，我逃脱了。火星人：乌拉！乌拉！乌拉！永远的秋天记者：[作为旁白]三天来，我沿着满是难民、无家可归者的道路奋斗，他们背负着装有贵重物品的箱子和包裹。对我来说有价值的一切都在伦敦，但当我到达他们的红砖小房子时，Carrie和她父亲已经走了。随着岁月的增长，夏天的阳光正在褪去黑暗的日子越来越近了冬天的风会冷得多现在你不在这里。我看着鸟儿在秋天的天空中向南飞翔他们一个个消失了我希望我和他们一起飞现在你不在这里。就像阳光穿过树木一样，你来爱我了就像你吹走的微风中的一片叶子通过秋天的金色礼服，我们曾经踢自己的路你总是喜欢每年的这个时候那些落叶现在不受干扰地躺着因为你不在这儿因为你不在这儿因为你不在这儿记者：[作为叙述者]火突然挨家挨家跳，民众惊慌失措地逃跑了——我和他们一起被卷走，没有Carrie，漫无目的地迷失。最后，我向东驶向大海，我唯一的生存希望——一艘离开英国的船。就像阳光穿过树木一样，你来爱我了就像你吹走的微风中的一片叶子一场温柔的雨轻轻地落在我疲惫的眼睛上仿佛要隐藏孤独的眼泪我的生活将永远是秋天因为你不在这儿因为你不在这儿因为你不在这儿记者：[作为旁白]当我在考文特花园、黑衣修士和比林斯盖特时，越来越多的人加入了痛苦的出埃及。悲伤、疲惫的女人，她们的孩子跌跌撞撞，泪流满面，她们的男人痛苦和愤怒，富人与乞丐和弃儿擦肩而过。狗咆哮着，呜咽着，马的碎片被泡沫覆盖着......这里和那里有受伤的士兵，和其他人一样无助。我们看到三脚架在泰晤士河上涉水，像纸一样穿过桥梁——滑铁卢桥，威斯敏斯特桥。一个出现在大本钟上方。火星人：乌拉！记者：[作为叙述者]在世界历史上，从来没有这么多人类一起感动和受苦。这不是有纪律的游行——这是一场踩踏事件——没有秩序，没有目标，600万人手无寸铁，毫无根据地开车。这是文明的衰落、对人类的屠杀的开始。一大群人把我推向已经装满的蒸汽船。我羡慕地抬头看着船上安全的人——直视着我心爱的Carrie的眼睛！看到我，她开始沿着拥挤的甲板向舷板搏斗。就在那一刻，它被抬了起来，当人群把我从她身边扫走时，我最后一次瞥见了她绝望的脸。就像阳光穿过树木一样，你来爱我了就像你吹走的微风中的一片树叶。通过秋天的金色礼服，我们曾经踢自己的路你总是喜欢每年的这个时候那些落叶现在不受干扰地躺着因为你不在这儿因为你不在这儿因为你不在这儿火星人：乌拉！雷霆之子记者：[作为旁白]蒸汽船开始慢慢移开——但在陆地地平线上出现了战斗机器的轮廓。另一个人来了，另一个人，大步越过山丘和树木，远远地向大海俯冲，挡住了蒸汽船的出口。他们之间是沉默的灰色铁甲雷童。它慢慢地向岸边移动；然后，随着震耳欲聋的轰鸣声和喷洒的呼啸声，它摆动着，全速驶向等待的火星人。有形状和大小的船沿着海湾散落我以为我听到她打电话了当蒸汽船驶离时入侵者一定看到了他们就像他们穿过海岸一样坚定地站在他们之间那里躺着雷子在水中快速移动她来时大炮在燃烧带来了一个强大的金属军阀在火焰中坠落感觉胜利即将到来想着运气一定在微笑人们开始欢呼“来吧，雷霆之子”“来吧，雷霆之子”记者：[作为旁白]火星人释放了他们的黑烟，但飞船加速，砍掉了其中一个三脚架。瞬间，其他人举起了他们的热射线，融化了雷霆之子英勇的心。捆绑绳索和砸碎木材闪烁的热射线穿透了甲板对我们的拯救抱有希望当我们看着沉没的残骸时带着战斗的烟雾清除在海浪中玷污的坟墓上慢慢消失再见了，雷霆之子！慢慢消失再见了，雷霆之子！再见了，雷霆之子！再见了，雷霆之子！记者：[作为旁白]当烟雾散去时，小蒸汽船已经到达了雾蒙蒙的地平线，Carrie很安全。但雷霆之子带着她男人最后的胜利希望消失了。铅色的天空被绿色的闪光照亮，圆柱体跟随圆柱体，现在没有人和任何东西可以与他们战斗。地球属于火星人。记者：[作为叙述者]第二天，黎明是灿烂的、火红的，我徘徊在另一个星球的奇怪而可怕的景观中；因为赋予火星红色外观的植被已经扎根于地球上。就像人类屈服于火星人一样，我们的土地现在也屈服于红草。

Welcome to a truly unhinged episode, where Andrew's cold-ridden brain meets Sam's particular brand of chaos. This week, we're diving into Musicians in Odd Places—which, let's be honest, is mostly an excuse for us to get wildly off-topic and fact-check things on the fly (and usually get them wrong). Andrew even managed to misspell the theme title on his notes. We kick off by debating the horrors of modern parenting and screen time, reminiscing about the simple joy of having the TV just... turn off. From there, it's a short, unsettling skip to a discussion about Conkers, which, inevitably, turns into a mention of "Bollock Conkers". You're welcome. The main theme gets a slightly more musical start with Sam's Riff of the Week—a deep, pumping slice of dub that Andrew associates with summer. This somehow leads Andrew to mix up Jeff Lynne and Jeff Wayne (an ongoing national embarrassment). ### Riffs of the week #### Dr Sam's Riff - Jacob Miller - Keep on Knocking #### Andrew's Riff - Buggery Act - Rusted Pliers ### Dr Sam's track choices 1. Mike Patton - Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles Theme 2. Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Ones to Town 3. D.O.A. - That's Why I Am An Atheist 4. Tiny Tim - Living in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight ### Andrew's track choices 1. The Wombles - Remember You're A Womble 2. War of the worlds - The Spirit of Man 3. Labi Siffre - I Got The... 4. Public Image Ltd - Rise On the Menu of Oddness: * Mike Patton's Paycheck: Faith No More's Mike Patton pops up where he has no business being: singing the theme for a video game version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He said he did it so his nieces could enjoy something he was involved in. * Wombles Rock: Andrew's choice of session musicians in unusual places is Chris Spedding lending his guitar skills to The Wombles. * Johnny Cash vs. His Ones: Sam digs up the horrifyingly earnest Sesame Street parody of "Don't Take Your Guns to Town," where Johnny Cash sings about the little cowboy Billy Joe trying to take his number ones (as in toys and cookies) to school instead of sharing. * The Jeff Wayne Fiasco: Andrew confesses a lifelong belief that Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds was an ELO side project, before Sam sets the record straight that the producer/composer is actually a TV theme tune guy. Also, a surprisingly passionate and improvised vocal performance from Phil Lynott is on the album. * Joey Shithead for Council: The legendary frontman of hardcore band DOA is now a local politician, serving as a city council councillor in Burnaby, British Columbia. * Chas and Dave: Funk Brothers: The unlikely Cockney duo were session musicians (the 'fuckbrothers', apparently) for Labi Siffre's fantastic tune "I Got The...". * The Tiny Tim / SpongeBob Connection: The ukulele-wielding oddball is apparently part of a kid's playlist because his song "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" was on an early SpongeBob episode. This leads to the discovery of his truly offensive Christmas single, "Santa Claus Has Got The AIDS This Year". * PIL's All-Star Band: A surprising lineup for Public Image Ltd's "Rise" featured Tony Williams (Miles Davis's drummer) and Steve Vai (guitar) on the album version. A lot of questionable facts and even more questionable chat. Get stuck in, you awful people.

Frizz and Bob clink a Coors Banquet and a bottle of Orange Groove Wine as they host the most prestigious, unserious award ceremony in music - the 3rd Annual Rhythm on the Rocks Annual Awards Show. Part celebration, part chaos, part Slim Jim fever dream - together, they hand out honors like Hidden Banger of the Year, Most Disappointing Album, and the coveted Ballbag of the Year, while revisiting everything from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds to Erykah Badu, Springsteen to Grunge, and conspiracy theories & beyond. At our loosiest and goosiest, we cheers to another year of deep dives and good vibes.

Kev grew up with this album and has most of it indelibly imprinted on his brain. Will he be able to set aside his nostalgic love for the album? Will Corey be on board with an album that doesn't feature a whole lot of singing and instead lots of dialogue spoken by a charismatic Welshman? And will the Martians win??? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and ....... ULLLLAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!Songs covered in this episode: "The Eve of the War", "Horsell Common and the Heat Ray", "The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine", "Forever Autumn", "Thunder Child", "The Red Weed (Part 1)", "The Spirit of Man", "The Red Weed (Part 2)", "The Artilleryman Returns", "Brave New World", "Dead London", "Epilogue (Part 1)", "Epilogue (Part 2) (NASA)"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSE Hosted on Acast.

We've all seen the memes. Ice Cube and various other zoom actors were in a recent take on The War of the Worlds. It's worse than you think, etc... But what about a War of the Worlds that's BETTER than you think?? We decided to crack open one of the greatest telling of this classic tale, complete with disco, spooky sounds, and proggy composition. It's like if Pet Sounds and Tubular Bells had a really funky baby. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hear Jon's perspective on germ theory.

Join us for a cosy and uplifting chat with Jeff Wayne, legendary composer of War Of The Worlds, not just about music but about his Jewish roots, the influence of Jewish mothers (and fathers) and the wonderful warmth of his wife and family.

This week, Frizz and Bob continue the tale of Jeff Wayne's ultimate passion project, his musical version of The War of the Worlds. Frizz poured Talisker Single Malt Scotch and Bob pours Green River Bourbon while we talk about modern tours, Liam Neeson and his very special set of skills,  computer-generated whackiness, and finally get into the marvelous tracks themselves. We'll open the cylinder of music theory and orchestration and learn just how brilliant the writing on this record truly is.

(To be read in a dramatic voice) No one would have believed... ... that a tale so vast- of death, alien destruction, heat rays, Phil Lynott, and the Moody Blues- could be told through orchestral prog rock, synths, and frying pans. Yet today, Frizz and Bob pop open Quest's End Paladin Whiskey & Ardbeg Uigedal Scotch to bring you PART ONE of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds- a British sci-fi marvel that, for decades, has been misunderstood and mostly unseen by the American eye. In this first chapter, we set the stage: The backstory. The architects of the sound. The players of this curious sonic war. The chances of you missing this are a million to one, they said. Yet, here you are. Next week... the invasion begins.

Artwork from Key of Dreams When you're working on a project with other people, a comic collaboration for example, it's usually best to decide on different roles for everyone according to what they're best at (writer, artist, layout design, pencils, inks, colour, backgrounds lettering etc), and let them handle it. You don't micromanage and make decisions for them. Basically they're the “experts” on those things now so you wait and see what they do. The idea for this Quackcast came to me after someone defended the super clunky Star Wars prequels with the old argument that George Lucas created them and he also created the original Star Wars so he must know best and certainly better than any “haters”. In reality though the prequels are an excellent example of why you MUST defer to people who know better. The original trilogy of Star Wars movies were created at a time when George was still a small fish in a big pond, he wasn't powerful or rich enough to have much control in the industry at that stage. He came up with great ideas (Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc), but had to rely on the studio system to get them made, which meant he had to collaborate with people who's job it was to make great movies: directors, script editors, Foley artists, casting directors, concept designers, model makers etc. As well as studio execs and producers. He had to compromise on what was feasible. But after the massive success of the movies, making a mint off of the sale of IP and merchandising, and his SFX studio Industrial Light and Magic being the industry standard, many years later when Luca worked on the prequels he had unrivalled power. He didn't have to defer to anyone anymore, he didn't have to collaborate or make compromises. He was the last word and he knew best… Except he didn't. In the years since he made those initial movies he hadn't directed much or written many scripts and the Prequels show that all too well with bad dialogue, clunky direction, bad plot choices etc. He even got rid of his expert model makers and all the work they did and used CGI instead because it gave him more control. TL,DR: The original Star Wars were good because they were made as collaborative projects by very experienced people while the prequels were mainly controlled by a guy who lacked a lot of expertise and it shows. The Dunning Kruger effect makes us think we're experts in things we only know a little about, ALL of us suffer from it constantly, even me, but when you've had some success in a field: that gives you confirmation bias that “proves” you really ARE an expert. This was Lucas's position during the prequels. I've worked in 2 collabs recently, Bottomless Waitress with Banes and Key of Dreams with Tantz and Banes. On both those projects we all have distinct roles and we stuck with them very easily! We worked within them and didn't ever bump into each other or try and take over anyone's role and so these are good examples of smooth collaborations which produce results people like. Bands are great examples of collaborative projects, especially when they're working with people who all get the chance to shine and handle their own roles. This is why I love Led zeppelin so much: back in the day Jimmy Page was the band leader and lead guitarist but he let each member handle what they were best at in their own way so it worked as a group of collaborative experts and you can really hear that in the sound! I ramble because I'm tired and I have a headache but I think this is an interesting point: You can't be an expert at everything so when you work with others let them handle what they do best and you do what you do best. There are many examples of great collaborative projects where many people working on them are great at what they do and come together to produce something magical. Some of my faves are Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (rock opera), Led Zeppelin, The Life of Brian, The Empire Strikes Back and more… What are yours? This week it's another best off from Gunwallace! The Jacket Comic - Wiry, punk, gritty, shiny and cool, this one jangles in on lyrical chords, sounding indie-rock with an almost Arabian flavour at times as the strings howl and echo up and down the scales. A rocky tune it for the coolest jacket in the world.

De pronto estalló el pánico en Nueva Jersey. A la gente le temblaban las piernas, y gritaba. Mujeres se desmayaban, y hombres se echaban a las calle esa noche, según dice el New York Times. Las líneas de teléfono estaban colapsadas, y a las dos horas la Cruz Roja y la Guardia Nacional se movilizaba en muchas zonas del este de Estados Unidos. Todo esto ocurrió el 30 de octubre de 1938, a causa de una emisión por radio que hizo Orson Welles en un teatro de Nueva York, dando la impresión que los marcianos estaban invadiendo en la Tierra. Bajo la forma y lenguaje de un informativo, los actores de la CBS, convertidos en locutores de noticias, anunciaron la llegada de una avalancha de platillos volantes, con conexiones a hipotéticas unidades móviles que narraban el aterrizaje de las naves y describían a aquellos temibles extraterrestres. Se calcula que casi dos millones de oyentes creyeron que la invasión era cierta, El texto dramatizado por Howard Koch estaba basado en la novela clásica de ciencia-ficción, La guerra de los mundos (1898) de H. G. Wells (1866-1946). En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del programa de Welles y el libro de Wells, leído por Eugenio Barona.

[originally published on Patreon Oct 26, 2021] Today I return to looking at novels as spycraft, particularly Lewis Carroll, JM Barrie, and HG Wells. I go through Carroll's connections to Oxford, his hobbies and predilections, his relationship with the Liddell family, and the enduring fixation Carroll's work has for pedophiles to this day. Then, I look at JM Barrie, his ties to the literary scene and the throne, his relationship with the Llewelyn Davies family, and the fate of those children.  To wrap it up, I discuss several of HG Wells more interesting works, including the World Set Free, the Open Conspiracy, and the New World Order.  You might have known some of what I talk about today, but I'm certain there are some salient details that biographers seem to like to leave out.  songs: Wonderland by T*ylor Sw*ft Enter Sandman by Met*llica New World Order by Meg*deth the Eve of the War from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds

Not only is he an accomplished Letterer, but Rob Jones is also a writer and Rob stayed up way too late to chat with me about the current Kickstarter campaign for Thunder Child #2 which is on KS until October 3rd. Rob introduces me to the Jeff Wayne musical version of War of the Worlds and after listening, as someone that's a fan of musicals and the combined talents of Meatloaf and Jim Steinman, I was shocked I hadn't heard of this before. Rob and I have a fantastic conversation about how he got into comics and why he wanted to write (with Matthew Hardy) a comic about the HMS Thunder Child, wonderfully illustrated by Kevin Castaniero, colored by Simon Gough, and edited by Fred McNamara.  Learn more about your ad choices.

No one would have believed that in the last years of the 1970s, a concept album based on the H.G. Wells novel would have such a profound and lasting impact on those who heard it. Few men even considered the possibility that it would it re-emerge in the 21st century as a live theatrical experience, featuring Russell Watson and Marti fucking Pellow. And yet, across the gulf of 4 decades, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this record as a peerless masterpiece, whilst Gary Barlow slowly and surely drew his plans against us. 

Allister Thompson, musician and author of The Music of the Spheres, is back in Derry & Toms to talk about the scientific romance and hardcore disco prog phenomenon that is... The War of the Worlds.

This week Keri, Peter and Matthew popped into the salon for a quick cut and gossip about Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds, Mississippi Burning, Joe Pasquale's pillow talk, unsolicited dick pics and the dodgy meat market. Actually, on reflection, those last two sound the same. Once under the dryer we remembered we're here to discuss The Archers. So we did. In no particular order:• It's my party and I'll vom if I want to: Ben confuses birthdays and baby reveals. • Dire diary: Jolene gets Clarrie-fication on Komrade Kenton's Arkwright Hall pass.• Alan smashes Peggy's window shopping. • Leonard Llewellyn-Bowen has a sketchy past. • Beth gets the snip.
