Podcast appearances and mentions of mike yarwood

Today, Danny speaks to actor, writer, voice artist, comedian and impressionist, Steve Nallon. In this lively episode, Steve shares some great stories about his time working on Spitting Image and with Janet Brown, Mike Yarwood, Rory Bremner, Rik Mayall and scores of other stars. He explains how he developed his iconic Margaret Thatcher impersonation. Steve shares why, despite being such a prolific performer he actually prefers anonymity over fame. They also discuss the personal and professional adjustments those involved in the entertainment industry make as they age.

KEY TAKEAWAYS As a kid Steve had a vivid imagination and loved acting out the characters he made up, but he was so shy he couldn´t perform in front of others. Even well-known comedians like Les Dawson worried about “dying on their arse”. There are comedians that say funny things, those that do funny things and those that simply are funny. Steve explains the difference. When an audience does not laugh, it feels incredibly personal. Spitting Image became so culturally significant that the FT used photos of the show's puppet versions instead of real politicians. The Spitting Image puppets were powerful. Some stars even found themselves becoming more like the puppet version. Most `politicians develop a persona that they use in public. Impressions are a caricature, just the essence of a person. As you get older doing impressions of certain people becomes harder. Writing about things that catch your attention and things you have experience of works well e.g. Steve using Maggie Thatcher in a ghost story. From a certain angle the statue of Nelson looks like he is pleasuring himself. Steve explains why he has always resisted appearing on TV as himself. BEST MOMENTS “I always was a performer. As a kid .. I would become all these different people.” “What didn't come naturally was performing in front of an audience.” “You die on your arse.” “Be open to anything, and everybody…that was the BBC training in 1975.” “I did attempt Trump, but it was so bad they cut it.” “I was walking down Brewer St a couple of days ago and there was only one sex shop.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.nallon.com HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

WARREN CUMMINGS on some 1970s USTV Cop Shows. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on August 18th 2024. This week WARREN CUMMINGS is back, and we're going to talk about all of those 1970s US TV Cop Shows that we used to love like KOJAK and IRONSIDE and THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, all of which were on our British television screens during a decade in which it seemed not a week could pass without a brand new cop show turning up on TV, each one with a brand new quirk or unique selling point to persuade us that it really was not the same as all of those OTHER cop shows that you might be enjoying, often with attributes so distinct that they made inroads into the pop culture of this country to the point that the likes of BENNY HILL or MIKE YARWOOD could don the old raincoat, or brandish a lollipop, and everyone watching at home would know exactly what they meant. 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.

"I remember he once castigated me for picking up a wine bottle by its neck." That's David Renwick talking about dining out with Spike Milligan, and in the early eighties Renwick, along with his regular writing partner Andrew Marshall, worked on Spike's 'Q10-by-another-name' There's A Lot Of It About. David joins Tyler this week to talk about Spike the man, the comic, the creative juggernaut, and how to a certain extent the incorrigible Milligan acted as a sort of self-appointed patron to the two younger writers. That said, by this point in their careers they were well on the way to becoming household-name comedy writers with hit shows such as The Burkiss Way on the radio and End Of Part One on television, and Whoops Apocalypse just around the corner. David also had regular writing responsibilities on other shows, notably The Two Ronnies, and within a few years Renwick and Marshall would be the driving forces behind shows such as Alexei Sayle's Stuff. However, it is for two major series in the 1990s (and into the 2000s) that David Renwick is best known: One Foot In The Grave and Jonathan Creek. As well as discussing Milligan, David talked at length about other aspects of his career, in particular One Foot In The Grave (including an explanation as to how the series is shot through with Neil Simon's creative DNA), as well as his early comedy influences, attending recordings of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and Monty Python's Flying Circus (and is it any wonder that Tim Brooke-Taylor from the former and Eric Idle from the latter were both involved with One Foot In The Grave?), his short-lived career as a journalist on a local newspaper, writing for Mike Yarwood, Bruce Forsyth's Big Night, working with David Jason again in the 2010s on the radio show Desolation Jests and... Bill Cosby. Tyler's only regret? That he forgot to ask about *that* episode of Father Ted.

So Ben and Polly complete their audition to be the new TARDIS crew, and the Hartnell era draws to a close in terms of stories we can actually see the whole of. So what does Pip Madeley, Twitter sensation, make of it all, and will he and Toby choose the same favourite thing as Frank Butcher from Eastenders, Skart from The Power of Kroll but not Mike Yarwood do battle against a giant computer and put a box in the ring. 

JOHN EDWARDS, Drummer and many other things John Edwards is a 57-year old larger than life bloke from a rather oddly-named village just outside Maidstone in Kent. His true love has always been music and but for the fact that life got in the way, John would be living the life of a rock star drummer. As the youngest in a family of 8, John was brought up on a diet of Coronation Street, Wrestling, Mike Yarwood, Reggie Perrin, Derek and Clive, Monty Python and fried egg sarnies. Musically, as a kid, John was introduced to an eclectic mix of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Curved Air, Mantovani, James Last, Frank Sinatra, Rick Wakeman, Abba and The Carpenters. More importantly, it was in the days of glam rock that John found himself becoming obsessed with loud music and messing about on his brother's the drum kit. His school days in Maidstone introduced him to fellow music lovers David Bloomfield and Stuart Ellis. Both of them would go onto become lifetime friends and play in bands together. John played drums in the covers band Mavis Cruett, the non-sensical but funny and punky Andy Pandys and then in the more serious bands The Strookas, who supported Green Day and now Tonota 80. John is a singing drummer, not so much Phil Collins but more like Grant Hart from Minneapolis alternative US band Husker Du.   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engineerrecords.com%2Ftonota-80%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2m38cmK2K0y8zuB-0aefqExc4vOF57uu_gt6uFncx4KjN9dkqjlOIa0sw&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthestrookas.bandcamp.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2RVYmDNyzehKj0OgHxia77AExws2x3Vb9ui4qnk59syQ95rPadqFU09pM&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftonota80.bandcamp.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1aLGwCfsM1QpPCA6gaIS9J1zBCkgSs44bNwhosPeW_Ma4_iRzcz-1q7lk&h=AT10rSYFGYReJPXRBvOCRkXIYAM9IBMkVuem7wi4JGgbCmSpLeY5S23_SNsQ1jYSLGi3ZkgIROfcspBFEDw0_Bs9y4GSbzvoyC59dyvmM7w9wioEDH8wvPItmHrP0_5lLeg   To support the podcast and get access to features about guitar playing and song writing visit https://www.patreon.com/vichyland and also news for all the creative music that we do at Bluescamp UK and France visit www.bluescampuk.co.uk   For details of the Ikaro music charity visit www.ikaromusic.com   Big thanks to Josh Ferrara for the music

In the final episode of the series, Mike Yarwood, TT's Managing Director Loss Prevention, talks once again to David Thompson of Signum Services. As cargo is widely considered to be most at risk when it is at rest, the key topic for discussion this week is secure parking for trucks. Mike and David discuss the barriers to adoption for both drivers and truck stop providers across the globe in the fight against cargo crime.

In this week's episode, Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention, talks to David Fairnie of BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions about the security threat posed by the insider. While difficult to evidence, there is often suspicion in cargo theft incidents of a degree of insider involvement - sometimes it's just too much of a coincidence that the thieves knew exactly which truck to target and at what time. In this episode we look at how thieves infiltrate a company, who they might target for insider information and why this can be such an effective mode of theft. We also talk through the strategies and procedures that companies should consider to mitigate the security risks posed by the insider.

In this week's episode, Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention, talks to David Thompson of Signum Services about the cargo theft strategies that are most commonly used by thieves. Strategies discussed include: round the corner theft, Romanian rollover theft, staged incidents and "blue light" crime. This episode will outline these strategies, how they work in practice and how stakeholders in the supply chain can identify the red flags and mitigate the risk of exposure.

In episode three of TT's supply chain security podcast, Mike Yarwood talks again to David Thompson about depot security and how to mitigate the risk of theft. Depots are a critical node in supply chains all over the world. Such locations might function as an operating centre for trucks, trailers and containers, a temporary storage facility as well as a secure area to park vehicles. For those with intentions of stealing cargo, transport depots provide an excellent one stop shop opportunity of an accumulation of valuable assets.

In this weeks episode, Mike Yarwood, TT's Managing Director Loss Prevention, and David Thompson of Signum Services, drill down into the subject of fraud and how individuals and organised criminal gangs pose as legitimate companies to access and steal cargo. After all, fraud knows no geographical boundaries and is deployed by criminals the world over.

In a return to the traditional enactment of yesteryear-viewing endemic to pre-1990, Velvet and Blackout play host to a Christmas guest who accompanies their scrutiny of an abundance of archetypes courtesy of Michael Yarwood and his Christmas Show of 1978. Not a politician nay a celebrity of the day is safe from the posturing, posing and parodying of the mimicking Mike and his arguably fundamental partnership with Janet Brown. Did said entertainment make an impression, or did it hang limply from a top lip like a Basil Fawlty prop that's well passed its prime? Just how much residual static lurks in that dinner suit? When and where did Anni-Frid Lyngstad meet Mark (Bez) Berry, and is their encounter documented in Tatler?

This week, Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention, talks with Geraldine Savin, Senior Claims Executive for the TT Club about the importance of incorporating standard terms and conditions (STCs). In an industry fraught with potential risks, disputes and claims are perhaps inevitable. The exposure to claims can be minimised, however, by maintaining robust management controls - such as STCs. A business' STCs are often its primary risk management tool, used for setting out the terms under which they interacts with their customers. As we explore in this podcast however, the ability to rely on the provisions of STCs is not a given.

This week, Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention, talks with Kate Andrews, Underwriter for the TT Club about contract review. TT are regularly involved in contract reviews for our Members, while in our capacity as insurers, we are unable to provide legal advice to our Members, we are able to identify concerns and certain clauses that we can advise our Members to either challenge with their customer, seek legal advice on or highlight potential financial risks where insurance cover might not respond to the full extent of the risk. This episode will look at examples of how this all works in practice.

This week, Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention, talks with Andrea Gentile, Senior Claims Executive for the TT Club around the topic of due diligence. Effectively a risk management tool, due diligence can help businesses mitigate the risks they face every day. As we continue to see the globalisation of trade, new opportunities are found more often than not in other parts of the world making thorough due diligence paramount in verifying legitimate third-party business.

This week, Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention, talks with Julien Horn, Senior Underwriter, about the risks of conducting business with unfamiliar jurisdictions. Opportunities in emerging markets can seem attractive, especially when the global economy is sluggish, however these opportunities are not without risk and thorough due diligence should be conducted before making any contractual commitments.

Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention is joined by Andrew Watson-Steward, Cargo Underwriter at TT Club, to discuss the differences between liability insurance and cargo insurance. Understanding the differences between liability and cargo insurance is crucial when it come to ensuring there are no gaps in cover and no avoidable losses.

Mike Yarwood, Managing Director Loss Prevention is joined by Manos Karanikolas, Senior Claims Executive, to discuss the risks and challenges surrounding uncollected or abandoned cargo. Uncollected cargo is a perennial challenge for freight forwarders and NVOCC operators. The issue can result in considerable costs on container demurrage, detention, storage and disposal costs. Aside from the purely monetary risks, incidents of uncollected cargo demand a significant management resource to resolve and have the potential to affect commercial relationships. Avoiding uncollected cargo incidents can be challenging, however, management controls and mitigation strategies can assist in reducing the frequency of incidents. Early identification of the risk and being empowered to mitigate the consequences will reduce exposures. All incidents are complex and will incur costs, prevention is therefore better than managing the incident effectively once it has happened. Crucial to prevention is maintaining management procedures to identify shipments, which present a heightened risk and taking evasive action to protect your business...
