Television, it turns out, is massive. When we set out to choose ten television shows that we found inspiring for Changeling, we had no idea that there were so many options we'd end up with, even considering the criteria we set for ourselves. (We looked at shows we had seen ourselves, and ideally ones that weren't already called out as inspiration in the books.) And that was before listeners started suggesting a bunch more. Nevertheless, we feel pretty happy with our picks; these are entries which we are fond of on their own, but also find well-suited for consideration through the lens of the game. Herewith some of their trailers/theme songs/selected scenes in chronological order: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993–1999) random scene from the pilot, "Emissary", that gives some characterization and talks about the Trill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McyJA93MGhU Gargoyles (1994–1997) opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygrEVnrg3Ic Recess: (1997–1999) opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zObiglKZKZc The 10th Kingdom (2000) trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbrXWWYopq8 Carnivàle (2003–2005) Emmy-winning opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouTCtwNIYaQ Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (2004–2009) teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djNHGRkg2R4 Lost Girl (2010–2015) trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W057R9MNRw4 Adventure Time: (2010–2018) opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMDaAcfCYow The Almighty Johnsons (2011–2013) trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd80D347iSI Stranger Things (2016–) trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9EkMc79ZSU We hope that if you're in the market for some inspirational material of this variety, one or more of these will help up churn up the Glamour of game planning.

It's 50 years since Man About The House first burst on our screens. The Thames TV gem which went on to spawn George and Mildred and Robin's Nest was created by the writing duo Cooke and Mortimer. And here one half of that writing partnership Brian Cooke talks to Ashley about his long career which started out in cartoons. They chat about the origins of some of those sitcoms and why the partnership between Cooke and Mortimer endured for so many years. Brian also wrote Keep it in the Family among many others and he chats about that too as well as working with Leonard Rossiter in his latter years. Lots of great anecdotes in a wide ranging interview recorded a few years ago now but for various reasons only just now being released on Distinct Nostalgia.

Recipe for a riotous sixties romp? Take two aging thespians, mix in a dozen dependable character actors, add three or four comic geniuses to bind it all together and season with a generous pinch of psychedelic Victoriana. Top it off with a rising young star and the director's wife and the result is a complex confection full of surprises which the whole family can enjoy! Joining Tyler this week is writer, podcaster and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington to talk about a film which he (rightly) argues is unfairly underappreciated: Bryan Forbes' 1966 ensemble comedy The Wrong Box. It qualifies for this podcast owing to a film-stealing turn by Peter Sellers as Doctor Pratt, but he is only one of many delights - it also features Peter Cook & Dudley Moore as a pair of hissable villains, Wilfrid Lawson as a butler on the verge of collapse, Michael Caine as the dashing, if naive, romantic lead, Tony Hancock as a rheumy-eyed troubled 'tec and Ralph Richardson as an increasingly erratic epistemophilic uncle! Also in 'blink-and-you'll-miss-'em' terms, Valentine Dyall, John Junkin, Leonard Rossiter and Graham Stark! (Graham Stark appears by kind permission of Mr Sellers). And, of course, the Lovely Nanette Newman as Miss Julia Finsbury. It's a fun, rambling conversation which, like the film itself, takes a lot of surprising turns! Tim is on Twitter @outonbluesix Mesel': @goonshowpod

“Stale. Bloody stale!” The meaning behind this bitter ejaculation from a formidable matriarch will be revealed as this week joining Tyler on the show are Michael Livesley and Paul Carmichael, the rum blades behind the hit podcast Nice Things, who pitched up with plenty to say on the subject of… well, everything really, but of course looming over the chat was the long shadow of the Goons. It's a sprawling and highly entertaining conversation which covers a lot of ground and as well as Milligan & Co they touch on Professor Bruce Lacey, Basil Brush and Freddie Trueman's glossy syrup. Also: Michael Bentine as a comedy gangster, Leonard Rossiter and a hippo, Leslie Sarony and his comedy stylings, Reg Varney ironing a shirt and the evocative orangey-brown hue of 1972. Tune in your cat's whisker podcatching device to listen to the general gubbins! Nice Things: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/nice-things/id1417286704 Twitter: @goonshowpod @NiceThingsShow

In this week's packed show we embark upon a discussion on the joys of being a theatrical ponce, take a diversion through the nature of reality and finally settle on a synopsis of a non-existent Leonard Rossiter sitcom.

Robert Gillespie starred in sitcom after sitcom in the 70s and 80s - and beyond. He's one of our most prolific comedy actors. He's worked with everyone - from Ronnie Barker and Leonard Rossiter to Tony Britton, Yootha Joyce and June Whitfield. And he has a story to tell about almost all of them. Robert was in Rising Damp, Porridge, Dad's Army, Robin's Nest and George and Mildred to name but a few. He also played the lead in the Thames TV hit Keep it in the Family which was never out of the top 5 in the tv ratings. He's just written a new book charting his long career and in this interview with Ashley he gives us a taster. In a feature length interview, Ashley explores Robert's career over 7 decades. Robert's new book 'Are You Going to Do That Little Jump: The Adventure Continues' is available here  https://littlejump.co.uk/book-purchase/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/distinctnostalgia)

Our hero dips his toe in the waters of farce with the 1966 comedy The Wrong Box. Co-starring Peter Sellers, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Tony Hancock and Leonard Rossiter this has to be a stone-cold laugh riot, right?

Centred around one of the greatest performances in sitcom, Leonard Rossiter leads an excellent cast in seventies classic Rising Damp. In this episode we look at Eric Chappell's play The Banana Box, which came to be Rising Damp and we look at the careers of Rossiter and Frances de la Tour.

Episode 41 : Making Barry Lyndon with Gay Hamilton Hello there rubes, ruffians, and rapscallions, we’ve got another episode of Kubrick’s Universe for you, dedicated to an appreciation of Stanley’s hauntingly gorgeous oil painting of a film, Barry Lyndon. By which I mean we’ve had the pleasure of chatting with Nora Brady herself, the wonderful Scottish actress, Gay Hamilton.  In this episode, you’ll hear Gay chat with us about how a young Scottish girl got the role through, in no small part, nailing a perfect Irish accent, meeting with Stanley Kubrick for the first time, then working with him on this seminal piece of art, as well as acting alongside Ryan O’Neal.  You’ll also hear Gay regale us with stories of shooting the iconic dance scene with Leonard Rossiter, adapting to the fine art of acting in Oscar award-winning costume designer Milena Canonero’s dresses, and Gay’s love for the game of Frisbee.  But you’ll also be delighted to hear Gay tell us about Stanley the practical joker, as well as reads from her own personal diary which she kept on set during the filming of Barry Lyndon, and ultimately, catching up with what it meant for her to be part of Kubrick’s legacy.  So hang out with us for a bit as we leapfrog back through time from the present to the mid 1970s, to the 1700s… in Kubrick’s Universe.  So it is with great pleasure that we present to you an interview from the 16th March 2020 with Gay Hamilton and Kubrick’s Universe host Mr. Jason Furlong. Production Credits : Hosted by Jason Furlong / Researched and written by Stephen Rigg and Jason Furlong  / Theme written and performed by Jason Furlong / Produced and edited by Stephen Rigg / Contributions by Mark Lentz & James Marinaccio

Rising Damp's 1975 Christmas episode 'For the Man Who Has Everything' is nominated for the Hall of Fame by Steve, who is impressed by the fast-talking Leonard Rossiter and his castmates.

Jeremy is joined again by Anthony Malone to mull over the 1985 satirical comedy Water starring Michael Caine, Leonard Rossiter, Brenda Vaccaro, Valerine Perrine and Billy Connelly, as part of a discussion that covers such topics as the BBC Shakespeare, comic actor Salma Hayek, Bernard and the Genie and knockabout prankster George Harrison.

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Shitmas. Join us for the first of three Christmas specials where firstly we watch Rising Damp. Rigsby, as played by Leonard Rossiter, is feeling lonely on Boxing Day but soon discovers his tenants are also home.

"At my signal, unleash hell" The keyword this week is EPIC as we watch Ridley Scott's Gladiator, and we quickly discover that our very own Rachael actually worked on this movie!  She lets us in on the experience of making a wig for the modest and self-effacing Russell Crowe and decries the lack of credit given to wig makers in movies.  Paul has been working on his best Maximus Decimus Meridius impression, eulogising Oliver Reed and spotting "The Voice of Iggle Piggle", and the team are mystified at Russell Crowe's Oscar win and come to the conclusion he won it mainly for "squinting a bit". And we hear about a cancelled sequel which would have featured a time travelling Maximus in Vietnam – which Paul swears he hasn't made up. Meanwhile, Andy's verdict:  "It was good". Elsewhere in a packed show, Rachael is inspired by one of the famous improvised lines in Gladiator to look at some more unplanned moments in movies, including Pretty Woman, Good Will Hunting and Harry Potter. And Andy is surprised by the appearance of UK comedian Omid Djalili in Gladiator and seeks out some more unexpected appearances of UK television stars in big Hollywood movies, including Leonard Rossiter and Keith Chegwin! This week's scale:  Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down
