Podcasts about sapphire and steel

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI talks about the women in his TV life. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on September 15th 2024. This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI is back, and, I don't know about you lot, but I've been noticing something about the kind of shows that PAUL has been telling us that he enjoys as he's come onto the show to talk about them over the years. I mean, regular listeners will already know that, yes, he obviously enjoys his Australian soaps, and they'll recognise his liking for horror stories, (and he'll sometimes mention that mixture of soap opera and horror stories that begat DARK SHADOWS), and, of course, the regard in which he holds BERGERAC is beyond repute, but there does seem to be a common factor in the shows that particular draw the attention of those YETI eyeballs, and that seems to be that the majority of them do feature very strong female characters in significant roles, and so that's what I decided to get him to talk about today. So, for the next hour, alongside his usual meanderings, we'll mull over this topic and mention in passing series like THE AVENGERS, DOCTOR WHO, BLAKE'S SEVEN, SAPPHIRE AND STEEL, THE BIONIC WOMAN, and DEMPSEY AND MAKEPEACE, as well as venturing briefly into the more familiar territory of RAMSAY STREET and CELL BLOCK H.

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI, is back to discuss TV ghosts... First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on January 21st 2024 This week we welcome back PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, that prolific podcaster from his very own THE SHY LIFE podcast, and we're going to talk about GHOSTS, but probably not the GHOSTS that you might think we are. Because, whilst we ought to note the passing of that much-loved sitcom of recent years on VISION ON SOUND - and who knows, perhaps on another week we will – our topic today is more about the ghosts that have appeared on other television shows that we have enjoyed over the years. So whilst PAUL and I will be having a general chat about the subject, we will be touching upon RANDALL AND HOPKIRK (DECEASED) in both of its incarnations, PAUL's perennial favourite DARK SHADOWS, the RICHARD CARPENTER classic THE GHOSTS OF MOTLEY HALL, taking a brief sideways trip into the TWILIGHT ZONE, considering the supernatural elements of SAPPHIRE AND STEEL, pulling off the mask of another janitor with the SCOOBY-DOO gang, chattering about some of those GHOST STORIES FOR CHRISTMAS, and even making brief references to Nigel Kneale's classic THE STONE TAPE. Not that we're going into any great depth about any of these shows, as every one of them could be worthy of an hour all to itself – and will be if any listeners fancy joining me to talk about any or all of them. Instead PAUL and I are just meandering through some of those dark places beyond the mortal realm, and lifting the veil briefly to take the merest glimpse into those worlds beyond, and our human interpretations of what they might be.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on July 23rd 2023 A couple of years ago, back in our forty-eighth edition of VISION ON SOUND in September 2021, I welcomed ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON onto the show for the first time, and we spent a happy hour discussing his artistic life, creating his witty television-themed illustrations and graphic images, and about how his love of archive television inspired many of them. His creation of spoof adverts featuring characters from shows like SAPPHIRE AND STEEL being used to promote products that never actually existed had given ANDY exactly the kind of internet presence that draws attention to people, and, little did I know at the time, but even as we recorded that show he was on the very brink of being commissioned to produce a collection of his artwork in book form. Two years later, and here, in the summer of 2023, that rather beautiful book is in the process of being released at last into the world, courtesy of DAVID J HOWE and his TELOS PUBLISHING Company. The book is called THIS IS A FAKE – after the words infamously scribbled onto the back of several MONA LISAs in felt-tipped pen by TOM BAKER's DOCTOR WHO in the story CITY OF DEATH penned by DOUGLAS ADAMS in 1979 - and is a lovingly crafted volume of delightful and witty works of art which somehow manages to weave an alternative history of the DOCTOR WHO series that we sort-of know and love, and many of the television shows existing alongside it, as seen through the kind of promotional material that could only exist in some other, far stranger, parallel dimension. So the book takes us on a visual journey right back to DR WHO's post-war radio serial roots, which would inspire so much incredible familiarly unrecognizable merchandise, and even a celebratory Garden Fete held in deepest, darkest Sussex, that led to a specifically 1960s form of traffic chaos. Sadly, as this book is indeed a celebratory pastiche, none of the products pictured within has ever been produced or placed on sale, which is, in several cases, rather unfortunate, as there are many that many Archive TV fans would have snapped up in a heartsbeat. Obviously, with a brand-new glossy and shiny fresh great big book to promote, ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON has been busily doing the rounds promoting his Magisterpiece, so I was rather delighted that he – or at least someone who looks and sounds very much like him - has taken the time out of his now frantically busy schedule to join me once again to spend a rather delightful hour talking about how the book came into being, his processes, ideas, and inspirations, some of which I hope that you might actually not have heard before, and I hope you enjoy spending time in his company as much as I did.

Traditional heavy-hitters may not be used as they cause strife. The usual suspects are available. Paul, Lisa, Andrew, Ben, Toby, Andy, Warren, Sandy, and Martin. Warren and Martin have been assigned." WARREN CUMMINGS is back and very kindly ventures into his personal nightmares to help me to talk about the television series SAPPHIRE AND STEEL, which starred DAVID McCALLUM and JOANNA LUMLEY across six multi-part stories, serials, adventures or assignments, the thirty-four episodes of which were broadcast between 1979 and 1982. Those six supernatural stories of hauntings and time interventions were filled with the sort of mind-invading early-evening terrors that managed to shape a generation, and created just the kind of unforgettable, haunting imagery that still gets talked about forty years later by those who saw it, and still grips viewers who are still discovering this remarkable series even today. WARREN particularly still has "issues" with the second story (the one set in a railway station, also featuring GERALD JAMES as George Tully), which is, rather naturally, the story both of us chose to watch in preparation for this show, and which gets the bulk of our attention.

As Sir Oliver Newton-John once crooned, "let's get cerebral, cerebral, I should like to get cerebral, oh let's get into cerebral". Yes, The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour continues to roll through what is generally agreed to be The Best Decade by donning its game-face... This week it's 1981, and our heroes test what few grey cells they have left by crossing the galaxy to Arg to stare blankly at instruction-free puzzles in The Adventure Game, before returning to the utter comfort of Robert Robinson's ferociously amiable quizmastery in Ask The Family. Did Adventure Game creator Patrick Dowling basically watch Sapphire And Steel then exclaim "this, but with stickers on the floor" to his production team? Will we ever return to the glory days when quiz contestants were chosen to appear on television based on their knowledge and skill, rather than any aesthetic considerations of them actually appearing on actual television? And are Messrs Velvet and Blackout really going to wait until recording the episode to workshop the Robinson impression? Click-on dear listener, answers await...

Sapphire and Steel are two interdimensional operatives.Time is a corridor that surrounds everything, but there are weak spots where Time – implied to be a malignant force – can break into the present and take things. There are also creatures from the beginnings and ends of time that roam the corridor looking for the weaknesses to break through. Sapphire and Steel are two of a group of beings described as ‘Medium atomic weighted elements' who act as Guardians of Time.The landlord of a Lost and Found shop has gone missing. The new landlord can not be described by the remaining tennant, his face somehow hidden from her mind. Strange children are seen playing in the yard in anachronistic clothing. What were the experiments the missing landlord was undertaking. Why are there photographs throughout his flat with people missing from them.Starring David McCallum as Steel and Joanna Lumley as Sapphire and Produced by ATV, it ran from 1979 to 1982 on the ITV network.The audience figures were unusually high for a science fiction series with the first episode, gaining 11.8 million viewers.

The second tarry of the week approaching TotenSonntag finds our dour duo, Velvet and Blackout, immersed in a world of windmills, witches and whimsy, as their voyage whisks them to the dark delights offered by Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show; a showcase of the soured cream of stage school talent amongst other anti-climactic features. The cheery, naive tone of the antipodean bird's comfort zone is suddenly torn asunder however, as supernatural elements conspire to cloak the mood with temporal confusion and complication, as a knock at the door reveals the arrival of intergalactic agents Sapphire and Steel in their inaugural unnerving outing. Will Purdey be perturbed at the fact that Illya Kuryakin has emulated her trademark haircut? Who is Will Purdey? How many of the Pink Windmill Kids wish that television, as a form of media consumption, was no longer a thing? How many of the rest of us are sorry that it ever was? More importantly, WHAT THE HELL IS PJ HAMMOND ON ABOUT? Listen on, and maybe you can assist…   The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.

The man without a face doesn't have a face but he does have a face and another face. The woman with an unmentionable job and questionable taste in music has her name and someone else's name and keeps extra hair by her bed but not by her other bed. A pair of medium atomic weights have taken to squatting in someone else's dingy, squalid little flat while they bicker about job satisfaction and look at the most miserable, depressing photographs they can find. The children's division of the Oliver Twist Fan Club who want to poke people's eyes out with umbrellas are just a distraction. What we're here to talk about is what happens when the Blank Stare, the Big Hair and the Bickering Pair gather on the staircase to have a big ol' barney in the middle of the night.

Episode 223 is Sapphire And Steel (1979) A big thank you to Robert Tunbridge for let use his own song "sapphire and Steel" as my outra to this episode https://robtunbridge.rocks/ Assignment 1 part 1 On an ordinary evening, a mother and father sing nursery rhymes to their daughter Helen before bed. Their teenage son Robert becomes alarmed when all the clocks in the house stop working. He hurries upstairs to find that his parents have vanished. Left alone with Helen and no neighbors nearby, Rob calls the police for help. But a pair of strange, time-traveling agents named Sapphire and Steel arrive instead and inform Rob that they are his only hope in getting his parents back.    

In terms of “where are they now?” retrospectives, at least the S&S one will be really easy. Kiyan and I have been trapped in a recording studio for all eternity as of the end of this serial. You may be deceived into thinking that before today we had already been stuck in a recording studioContinue reading →

I forgot my name again too. I can’t remember if I was Kiyan or Dylan. We’ve trapped ourselves in an old-timey estate house in order to experience this episode to its fullest. We’re actually not sure who else is locked in here with us, I didn’t check to see if the property was vacated beforeContinue reading →

Alternate title: Sapphire and Stalin Kiyan and Dylan are like kind of really lame versions of the elementals. Which I bring up because that would explain why all of our guests are way cooler than us. Just like in this episode when we theorize that S&S are the outcasts who constantly fail, that would beContinue reading →

Tune in this week to find out how to pronounce Russell Wooten. Tune in this week to also find out how much of Russell Wooten is too much Russell Wooten.

Your open-air mime rehearsal doesn't go so well when your only audience member leaves for the countryside and the company of corpses. Naturally, you take your mind off it by looking for an invisible house in the sky but somehow you end up punching a duck. Confused, you decide to go to dinner with the most unlikely couple in all of time who are far more adept at the whole ‘trapped in a box' thing than you ever could be. He's a masochistic voyeur who doesn't like to peep, She's pillow phobic and talks to walls and their son is a creepy, badly dressed weirdo who hears voices and has THE worst handshake. But you've been brought up to be polite so you ignore the family pet (which appears to be a butcher's off-cut that lives in the skirting board) and sit down to dinner. Just don't eat the lamb. You don't want to know where it's been.

In this episode, we discuss: Sapphire and Steel 2.07-2.10, “Assignment IV” aka “The Man Without a Face” (1981): Joanna Lumley and David McCallum are troubleshooters from beyond time who find themselves pulled into strange occurrences at an abandoned junk shop, including a mysterious man with no face, the sudden appearance of Victorian-era children, and a young woman who spends three straight episodes “getting ready for work.” Dark Season (1991): A trio of precocious students face off against the villainous Mr. Eldritch, a man with a number of sinister technological toys and a deep, abiding loathing of human life. Best known for launching the careers of Russell T. Davies (creator of Queer as Folk and inaugural showrunner of the Doctor Who revival) and Kate Winslet (expect you’ve heard of her).

Choose trains. Choose no actual trains. Choose candles. Choose an elderly arsonist. Choose magically refilling flower pots, trip wires, stroppy ghosts and layers of dust. Choose an empty hotel, seances and barbed wire doors. Choose a submarine. Choose role-play with a pretty woman. Choose arguments with a heartless bastard. Choose a face full of mincemeat. Choose a one-eyed cat and mouldy sandwiches. Choose banging away on a piece of junk outside in the dark while singing a really old song to a malevolent creeping blackness and wondering what the f*** you are doing starting a band in the middle of the night with an unsettlingly enthusiastic stranger who has complete disregard for you and anyone you have-will-could know. Choose tension, and more tension, and even more tension. Choose not to eat the mouldy sandwiches. Choose your future. But only your future. Choose not to choose someone else's future. And the explanations? There are no explanations. Who needs explanations when you're medium atomic weights?

Leave your homework for a moment kid, there's a giggling giant strolling through the house kicking down all the doors and a miserable git dumping all the food in your freezer. There's a policeman knocking on the door, a couple of old soldiers running up and down the stairs, a hurricane in the kitchen and a fashion-conscious flirt burning all your stuff. I'd go and get your parents if I were you, they're in the cellar playing with your mum's new turntable. It's really put a smile on her face. ….second thoughts, DON'T get your parents. Sort it out yourself. But before you do can you please STOP THOSE BLOODY CLOCKS. It's getting so a malevolent, extra-dimensional force can't hear itself think.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is writer Paul Kirkley, who wonders if anyone else recalls The Kids From Fame Again, the The A-Team tie-in novels, Del Amitri by Del Amitri, David Nobbs' Henry Pratt novels, video rental shop favourite The Beastmaster, BBC1 holiday filler The Saturday Picture Show, and TV Tops comic strip The Fantastic Adventures Of Adam Ant. Along the way we'll be finding out what Robert Smith takes on holiday, what happens when Dick Turpin runs head first at Sapphire And Steel, and why you should never obey Musical Youth lyrics to the letter.

This week Mr Jim Moon turns back time, and takes a look back at the classic SF horror series Sapphire and Steel. Created by PJ Hammond and starring genre icons David McCallum and Joanna Lumley, this strange series thrilled, puzzled and frightening many a viewer back the early '80s and still haunts the dreams of many today...  

Dave and Elise are assigned to guide you through the "bloody-minded impenetrability" (in the words of THE SCI-FI FREAK SITE) of obscure, no-budget British TV cult show SAPPHIRE AND STEEL (1979-82), about the strangest time police possibly in the history of the concept. In "Assignment 1," sometimes known as "Escape Through a Crack in Time," a cozy, isolated bourgeois household is invaded by the horrors of history when a nursery rhyme opens a time corridor that snatches away the parents, and only interdimensional beings with a Mulder-and-Scully-like thing going on, sent by a semi-transparent helmet floating through space, can save the day. But then a time monster's flashlight babies start making some really weird things happen, and, well... we try to explain.   Time (Travel) Table 0:00 Introductory ramblings and Sapphire and Steel 1:36:00 Mailbag   We've got a time-Tumblr!

This one's got a man without a face. Honestly, how crap is that for a villain? Okay, so you've only got one arm or maybe a wooden leg, or even just an eyepatch, you can still have a good chance of taking over the world or causing havoc. But I mean, come on… He doesn't have a FACE! He can't see where he's going, he can't ask for directions…he can't even use a mirror to draw one on. He'll never lick stamps, or roll his tongue into a tube or say any of the truly great words like 'moist', 'spasm' or 'smock' and everyone he meets will just spend all their time making rude gestures at him in the joyous knowledge that he doesn't have a clue. It's no life for a villain. Although to be fair, when it comes down to the final face-off with his enemies, he's already got one hell of a head-start.
