Podcasts about nerys hughes

Nerys Hughes is obsessed with alligators.  "See you later alligator," she would say when waving goodbye.  But if you replied with "in a while, crocodile," she would get angry.  She used to make people say "in a while, alligator" instead.  It doesn't even rhyme.   IF YOU LIKE WHAT WE DO AND WANT TO HELP US CONTINUE; SUPPORT US ON PATREON: patreon.com/spreadthewhimsy   SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ko-fi.com/spreadthewhimsy SUPPORT US WITH MERCHANDISE: whenwagonwheelswerebigger.com/w4bshop SUPPORT US FOR FREE: spread the word, spread the whimsy!   TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger WEBSITE: whenwagonwheelswerebigger.com W4B theme composed by John Croudy W4B theme acoustic arrangement by Joe Beckhelling Additional musical contributions by R Gill

It's the second Madness LP released in 1980 that gets the full low-down from Rick and Kate for this 6th episode of the Memorabillia Podcast. Absolutely spawned two terrific singles in 'Baggy Trousers' and 'Embarrassment' but did the rest of the tracks live up to this standard? Our hosts fondly remember the Baggy Trousers video and in particular Lee Thompson's flying sax performance. Rick selects what would have been his single choices from the record rather than the record company's pick for the third single (Return of the Los Palmas 7). Much to Kate's dismay, there are a few lists covered on this episode, starting with a closer look at the famous indie tape given away with music paper NME in 1986, aptly named C86. If anyone knows why 'Half Man, Half Biscuit' hate Nerys Hughes, please write in with the answer! There's a quick review of the 12 'Wedding Present' B-Sides (all covers) released in the 12 months of 1992. Rick then counts down from 35 - 21 in the chart of the Top 50 American bands of all time as recently published by 'Ultimate Classic Rock'. 60's band Parliament/Funkadelic (name change at some point) ranking above the likes of Pearl Jam receives some consternation. As the LP Absolutely was resleased in September 1980, this is the month that our hosts hone in on for a look at the top ten UK albums and singles, highest charting movies (with very much a musical theme - but which film was number one at the time of Absolutely's reslease? 'All that Jazz' or 'Fame'?) and what was popular on the telly? In the news, John Bonham sadly leaves us as another legendary Rocker releases his debut solo album - 'Blizzard of Oz'. In London, Chicago mobster Joseph Scarlise pulls off the Marlborough diamond robbery and you can discover why it wasn't the greatest planned heist in the history of crime capers! To finish, Rick requests contact from anyone that has listened to one of the podcast episodes who has never met or doesn't know either himself or Kate, and with the help of the random single of the week, asks 'Is Vic There'?

In this episode, Toria talks to leading sensory impairment Occupational Therapy Specialist, Nerys Hughes. Having worked in all areas of paediatric practice across private and charity sectors and the NHS, Nerys now runs a social enterprise clinic ‘Whole Child Therapy’ which she founded.  An experienced and advanced clinical consultant, Nerys provides consultation to schools, local authorities, sensory impairment services and associated professionals across the world.  Her training curriculum for health and education professionals, as well as parents, is widely valued and sought-after.  In this episode Nerys talks about her strong belief in a ‘strengths and connection’ intervention process and how we can all embed a sense of ‘belonging and enablement’ in our thinking and our everyday classroom practice to benefit ALL children, not just those with an additional need.  She develops tools that enable children and I think you will hear her knowledge and passion demonstrated in this episode.

Join Joe & Conrad as they face down the most phallic and plastic of snakes. Conrad ponders what he would like to do with Dibber's black light converter, the lack film work is considered and we both goggle at how good Nerys Hughes is.

In their 25th episode Alex & Andy hurtle back to 1982 to the jungle paradise of Deva Loka where mystery boxes shouldn't be opened, you can't mend people and Nerys Hughes is practically perfect in every way. In Kinda they find much to enjoy and reflect on its first broadcast in 1982 and its repeat in 1983 as well as how they feel it stands up today. There's even a recording of a 4-year-old Alex singing along to theme tune and taking the piss out of Hindle which is worth the admission price* alone. (*Our podcast is entirely free!) Along the way they share their experiences of Doctor Who fandom and conventions. decide that Buddhism is the best religion, slag off Lou Beale and make passing references to all manner of televisual gems, including Play School, Timeslip and The Adventure Game. All this, plus the usual quiz and a visit from the Cailleach which prompts praise of Series 12, especially of the Timeless Children finale. This bumper 2-hour episode was recorded well before the world as we currently know it, so its wonderfully absent of you know what talk. Stay safe everyone. We love you xxx

From Four to Doomsday we move on to Kinda… Nyssa’s sleepy, Tegan’s sleepy, what they’re all wondering is why the hell isn’t Adric sleepy? Instead the Doctor teams up with Nerys Hughes whilst she wonders when she’ll get her bush trimmed! Queue up your DVD player or media file & we’ll tell you when to press play on Season 19, episode 9 “Kinda” so you can watch the story along with us, but don’t worry if you don’t have access to the episode though, you can easily listen to the podcast on its own without losing too much of the experience (although it’s always a bit better with the video showing you what’s happening!)

In this episode David and Mark chat about the Museum of London's current photography exhibition, London Nights. This large exhibition features historic and contemporary images from over 60 photographers, including Bert Hardy, Bill Brandt, Tish Murtha, and contemporary photographers like William Eckersley and Damien Frost. The aim of the exhibition is to: reveal the city after hours: unnerving, beautiful, eerie, energised - sometimes all at once. Step into the night and discover a darker, richer side to the capital. Images range from sinister street scenes, or people partying in the West End in the 60s, to shots of the city from the International Space Station and the image of a tower block used on the cover The Streets' album Original Pirate Material. Some of the photographers and photos we discuss are: Paul Martin's Embankment at Night (1896) Hannes Kilian's shot of Piccadilly (1955) Jim Friedman's Piccadilly Circus (1988) William Eckersley's series Dark City (2011) Thierry Cohen's London 51 degrees 30 minutes 17 seconds N 2015-02-17 LST 10:39 (2015) Nick Turpin's On The Night Bus series Philipp Ebeling's Whitechapel Market, Tower Hamlets (2008-13) Bert Hardy Bill Brandt We actually forgot to discuss one of our favourite images from the exhibition, The Long Wait (2005-6) by Mita Tabrizian from series depicting Iranian migrants. David also talks about the work of Jan Staller and his haunting photos of New York in the 1980s, published in a monograph Frontier New York. As always, wherever possible the photos we discuss can be found on our Pinterest page for this episode. We originally recorded one podcast covering both the main London Nights exhibition, and the smaller, free, Night Visions exhibition, both on at the Museum of London. However, at the editing stage it made sense to split them into two separate podcasts. You may wish to listen to them both, in order, but it's by no means essential and each episode stands up independently. Non-Photography tangents we detour off at 1980s TV: clip of Nerys Hughes as the District Nurse and the fashion of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. London Transport Museum and the London Transport Moquette fabric. Camera gear: Fuji X-T3, their 10-24mm lens and Samyang's fisheye lens. Get involved! We hold regular photo meet-ups in central London, all levels welcome, so come and say hello - see Meetup for details. For more information about us and forthcoming podcasts, follow us on Twitter.

Nick Briggs and Benji Clifford are here to present all the latest news and emails from the Big Finish world of audio drama and audio books. Guest star: Nerys Hughes. Drama tease: Doctor Who: The Movellan Grave.

As usual, this week, Brendan, Nathan and Richard are condemned to an unending cycle of suffering and futility, relieved only temporarily by ruminations on the existence of Nerys Hughes. So, hold off on the fire and acid for just forty minutes or so: enough time to hear us discussing Kinda.

"You can't mend people!" Well tell that to a doctor – Who or otherwise. And the Kinda can mend doolally folk too, turning them from sociopaths to simpletons by simply opening a box. A bit like Deal or No Deal in reverse. But is Kinda a box of delights or one of Pandora's old cast-offs? Well, Nyssa's barely in it so that's a promising start but Adric's face freaks Martin out, the presence of both Nerys Hughes and multiple Tegans sends Jim into a priapic frenzy and a moccasin-faced local keeps spouting spiritual riddles. The Doctor is an idiot, Tegan has narcolepsy and Adric keeps trying to twok the TSS. Couple that with a jester who badly needs his puppet (and more) stamped on, an effete bloke from That's Life roaring like a frightened vole and the Universe's least enticing bouncy castle and you have something of a mixed bag. But, when it comes to Kinda fans, are Jim and Martin among the We or the Not-We? Listen and find out.

Its inhabitants, the Kinda, are a gentle and seemingly primitive people. On the surface, a perfect place to colonise. But if it is so perfect, why are the colonisation team disappearing one by one? When Tegan sleeps near the Windchimes she is confronted by the true evil that threatens Deva Loka.[edit] PlotAn Earth colonisation survey expedition to the beautiful jungle planet Deva Loka is being depleted as members of the survey disappear one by one. Four have now gone, leaving the remainder in state of deep stress. The leader, Sanders, relies on bombast and rules; while his deputy, Hindle, is evidently close to breaking point. Only the scientific officer, Todd, seems to deal with the situation with equanimity. She does not see the native people, the Kinda, as a threat, but rather respects their culture and is intrigued by their power of telepathy. The social structure is also curious in that women seem dominant and are the only ones with the power of voice. The humans are holding two silent males hostage for "observation". Todd believes they are more advanced than they first appear, as they possess necklaces representative of the double helix of DNA, indicating a more advanced civilisation.Elsewhere in the jungle the TARDIS crew are also under stress, especially Nyssa of Traken, who has collapsed from exhaustion. The Fifth Doctor constructs a delta wave augmenter to enable her to rest in the TARDIS while he and Adric venture deeper into the jungle. They soon find an automated total survival suit (TSS) system which activates and marches them to the Dome, the colonists' base. Sanders is a welcoming but gruff presence, further undermining Hindle at regular intervals. At this point Sanders decides to venture out into the jungle in the TSS, leaving the highly strung Hindle in charge. His will is enforced by means of the two Kinda hostages, who have forged a telepathic link with him believing their souls to have been captured in his mirror. The Doctor, Todd and Adric are immediately placed under arrest as Hindle now evinces megalomania.Tegan faces a more metaphysical crisis. She has fallen asleep near the euphonious and soporific Windchimes, unaware of the danger of the dreaming of an unshared mind (one not engaged in telepathic activity with another humanoid). Her mind opens in a black void where she undergoes provocation and terror from a series of nightmarish characters, one of which taunts her: “You will agree to being me, sooner or later, this side of madness or the other". The spectres are a manifestation of the Mara, an evil being of the subconscious that longs for corporeal reality. Mentally tortured, she eventually agrees to become the Mara and a snake symbol passes to her own arm. When her mind returns to her body she is possessed by the Mara. In a scene reminiscent of the Book of Genesis she passes the snake symbol to the first Kinda she finds, a young man named Aris, who is the brother of one of the Kinda in the Dome. He too is transformed by evil and now finds the power of voice.Back at the Dome, Hindle has conceived a bizarre and immolatory plan to destroy the jungle, which he views as a threat. Adric plays along with this delusion. Hindle's world soon starts to fall apart when first Adric 'betrays' him and then Sanders defies expectation and returns from the jungle. However Sanders is radically different from the martinet in earlier episodes. Panna, an aged female mystic of the tribe, presented him with a strange wooden box (the 'Box of Jhana') which when opened has regressed his mind back to childhood. Sanders still has the box and shows it to Hindle, who makes the Doctor open it.The Doctor and Todd see beyond the toy inside and instead share a vision from Panna and her young ward, Karuna, who invites them to cave. The shock of the situation (accompanied by strange phenomena) allows the Doctor and Todd to slip away into the jungle where they encounter Aris dominating a group of Kinda and seemingly fulfilling a tribal prophecy that “When the Not-We come, one will arise from among We, a male with Voice who must be obeyed.” Karuna soon finds the Doctor and Todd and takes them to meet Panna in the cave from the vision, with the wise woman realising the danger of the situation now Aris has voice. She places them in a trance like state and reveals that the Mara has gained dominion on Deva Loka. The Great Wheel which turns as civilisations rise and fall has turned again and the hour is near when chaos will reign, instigated by the Mara. The vision she shares is Panna's last act: when it is finished, she is dead.In the Kinda world, multiple fathers are shared by children, just as multiple memories are held, and at Panna's death her life experience transfers to Karuna. She urges Todd and the Doctor to return to the Dome to prevent Aris leading an attack on it which will increase the chaos and hasten the collapse of the Kinda civilisation.Back at the Dome Hindle, Sanders and Adric remain in a state of unreality, with the former becoming ever more demented and unbalanced, and infantile. Adric eventually escapes, and attempts to pilot the TSS but is soon confronted by Aris and the Kinda. He panics, and Aris is wounded by the machine (which responds to the mental impulses of the operator) and the Kinda scatter.The Doctor and Todd find an emotionally wrecked Tegan near the Windchimes and conclude that she was the path of the Mara back into this world. They then find Adric and the party heads back to the Dome where Hindle has now completed the laying of explosives which will incinerate the jungle and the Dome itself: the ultimate self-defence. Todd persuades Hindle now to open the Box of Jhana, and the visions therein restore the mental balance of the two. The two enslaved Kinda are freed when the mirror entrapping them is shattered. The Doctor then realizes the only method of combating the Mara- he realises the one thing evil cannot face is itself and so organizes the construction of a large circle of mirrors (actually reflective solar panels) in a jungle clearing. Aris is trapped within it and the snake on his arm breaks free. The Mara swells to giant proportions but then is banished back from the corporeal world to the Dark Places of the Inside.With the threat of the Mara dissipated, and the personnel of the Dome back to more balanced selves, the Doctor, Adric and an exhausted Tegan decide to leave (as does Todd, who decides 'its all a bit green'). When they reach the TARDIS, Nyssa greets them, fully recovered.[edit] Continuity    * The Mara features again in the next season's serial Snakedance.    * Delta waves reappeared in the 2005 episode "The Parting of the Ways". Far from the brain wave-enhancing recuperation devices from Kinda, however, delta waves were described by Jack Harkness as being "waves of Van Cassadyne energy...your brain gets barbecued."    * A fairy like creature which is compared to a Mara features in the 2006 Torchwood episode Small Worlds, however there may be no connection between the two.    * In Time Crash (2007), the Tenth Doctor asks the temporally misplaced Fifth where (i.e. when) he is now – and speculatively references Tegan, Nyssa and the Mara from his own memories.    * In Turn Left (2008), the time beetle on Donna Noble's back is also revealed when faced with a circle of mirrors.[edit] ProductionSerial details by episode Episode     Broadcast date     Run time     Viewership(in millions)"Part One"     1 February 1982 (1982-02-01)     24:50     8.4"Part Two"     2 February 1982 (1982-02-02)     24:58     9.4"Part Three"     8 February 1982 (1982-02-08)     24:17     8.5"Part Four"     9 February 1982 (1982-02-09)     24:28     8.9[2][3][4]    * The working title for this story was The Kinda.    * This was the first story to feature Eric Saward as script editor.    * In the ancient language Sanskrit, "Deva Loka" means "Celestial Region".    * Nyssa makes only brief appearances at the start of episode 1, and at the end of 4, because the script had largely been developed at a time when only two companions for the Doctor were envisioned. When it was known a third companion would also be present, rather than write Nyssa into the entire storyline it was decided she would remain in the TARDIS throughout and be absent through most of the narrative. To account for this absence Nyssa was scripted to collapse at the end of the previous story, Four to Doomsday. In this story she remains in the Tardis, resting. Sarah Sutton's contract was amended to account for this two-episode absence.[4]    * For the scene in episode 2 in which the two Tegans talk to each other about which of them is real, John Nathan-Turner allowed Janet Fielding to write her own dialogue.[edit] Outside references    * Writer Christopher Bailey based this story heavily on Buddhist philosophy. He used many Buddhist words and ideas in writing Kinda; most of the Kinda and dream-sequence characters have names with Buddhist meanings, including Mara (temptation — also personified as a demon), Dukkha (pain), Panna (wisdom), Karuna (compassion), Anicca (impermanence) and Anatta (egolessness). Additionally, Jhana (also spelt Jana in the scripts) refers to meditation.    * This serial was examined closely in the 1983 media studies volume Doctor Who: The Unfolding Text by John Tulloch and Manuel Alvarado. This was the first major scholarly work dedicated to Doctor Who. Tulloch and Alvarado compare Kinda with Ursula K. Le Guin's 1976 novel The Word for World is Forest, which shares several themes with Kinda and may have been a template for its story. The Unfolding Text also examines the way "Kinda" incorporates Buddhist and Christian symbols and themes, as well as elements from the writings of Carl Jung.[5][edit] In printDoctor Who bookBook coverKindaSeries     Target novelisationsRelease number     84Writer     Terrance DicksPublisher     Target BooksISBN     0-426-19529-9Release date     15 March 1984Preceded by     Mawdryn UndeadFollowed by     SnakedanceA novelisation of this serial, written by Terrance Dicks, was published by Target Books in December 1983.In 1997 the novel was also issued by BBC Audio as an audio book, read by Peter Davison.[edit] Broadcast and VHS release    * The serial was repeated on BBC One over 22-25 August 1983, (Monday-Thursday) at 6.25pm.
