PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI's Top Ten TV Sidekicks!First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 8th 2025.This week's show sees another swift return for the perennial friend of VISION ON SOUND, PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, and this week we decided, in the fine tradition of archive TV retrospectives throughout the decades, to have a go at letting PAUL do a TELEVISION TOP TEN.Naturally, he didn't want to do ANY OLD Top Ten. Oh no! PAUL wanted to try something a little more avant garde, a little more off the wall, and away from the mainstream, and so the Top Ten that we discuss during the next hour is all about his favourite TV sidekicks, or at least his favourites for the morning we recorded the show. And, being PAUL, whilst his list might include some very familiar and not unexpected TV pairings, and one or two might seem entirely predictable if you've been following our conversations over the years, I still hope that a few of them might surprise you – especially with regard to the dynamics of just which of them he considers the sidekick to be – and some of them might even shock you, although probably not enough to make any of you require counselling.As ever, our conversation based upon those choices goes off in some wildly unexpected directions, but I hope they give you an entertaining and perhaps even thought-provoking hour, which, if they do inspire you to think of a few of your own Top Tens, do please get in touch, especially if you feel like you might want to share them with us in a future edition of VISION ON SOUND.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.

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI considers some TV remakes.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on May 18th 2025.This week, we're returning to a topic that we cover from time-to-time here on VISION ON SOUND, that of the television shows that were so popular, or made such an impact, that, in the absence of any better ideas, the television production companies decide to remake them in a new era, often (although not always) with a new cast, and sometimes with an almost completely different set up which means that the new version barely resembles the original other than by sharing its name.You can see why it seems like a good idea. Often the original is so fondly remembered that you've almost certainly got a built in audience before you even start, and even if a large proportion of that audience is unimpressed by your efforts, there might still be enough interest to keep you on air long enough to build your own audience who are just as loyal to your show as the old audience was to theirs.A popular recognised brand does seem to do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to getting a show off the ground and whilst some may think that the new version might taint the original in some way, the classics still remain, and the new version can become just as fondly remembered by an entirely different section of the viewing audience.The eighties classic crime caper BERGERAC has recently made a comeback, so it only seemed right to invite one of that show's biggest fans, PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself along to share his opinion on that, as well as discussing a few of his own favourite television remakes in a far reaching conversation that brings in such delights as THE NEW AVENGERS, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION and MISS MARPLE.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI and IRWIN ALLENFirst broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on April 13th 2025.Recently, I've been re-watching a whole load of late-era VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA episodes, as well as a smattering of examples from THE TIME TUNNEL, and this set me to thinking that I'd quite like to talk to one of my regulars about the quartet of high-concept television adventure series that were created by IRWIN ALLEN in the mid 1960s, which also included LOST IN SPACE and LAND OF THE GIANTS.Across a highly productive five years from 1964, around three hundred episodes of these shows were produced for the American networks, which, in an era of three main channels, where having just one show on the air is quite some achievement, is nothing short of impressive.Granted, the IRWIN ALLEN productions can sometimes be rightly accused of being a little bit eccentric or simplistic in their storytelling, and perhaps sometimes concentrate far more on the action and not so much on the drama, but these four shows definitely influenced a generation, both at home, and internationally, as they were sold across the world, and excited young minds wherever and whenever they were broadcast.Furthermore, such were the strong ideas at the core of these shows, that elements from all of them have often been taken and used in other series that built upon the imaginative ideas that were always at the core of IRWIN ALLEN's shows.Anyway, after our shows last year in which PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI joined me to talk about various quartets of classic USTV shows, he seemed the obvious choice to join me this week to mull over his experiences of discovering these four shows during their repeat runs in the 1980s, and I hope you enjoy the hour as much as I did.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.

Here we are for episode 759! In which... well, it's certainly not an April Fool's episode - but this edition was originally recorded as a potential final episode of The Shy Life Podcast, but it's since been replaced.  So in this edition - which didn't ever actually occur - Paul and Ikk take a pretty routine trip up into space... only things quickly reach a finale! Thanks also to Calum for appearing in our quiz this time! In our next show - #760 we catch up Hubert Gentry as he unveils his new bar - but what will Cromitty and the gang make of it!? Do join us! Email us at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have any comments - you can even send me a sound-file and I'll include it.

Hubert and Cuthbert continue their rivalry but Hubert has also developed a genuine interest in Paul old TV show; Sutton Park - but he's still reluctant to admit it!

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI returns to give me a little bit of encouragement.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on March 9th 2025.At the start of this year I will admit to feeling very fed up, and I spent a lot of time wondering about the future of VISION ON SOUND, and about whether it even had a future, to be honest, or whether the time had come to jack all of this nonsense in. I know that a lot of people get the January Blues and, this year, I was very much one of those people.Happily, because a lot of the reason we turn up on the air each week is because very kind people offer to talk to me about television, and a lot of them had given me their time in December, most of the shows that you've been hearing so far this year were taken from that stockpile of interviews, opinions and conversations, that somehow kept us staggering on through those bleak, cold Sunday evenings at the darkest time of the year.I only recorded one show in January and it was this week's edition, in which I used PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, as a sounding board, and therapist, to discuss some of the issues that I'd been having, and somehow, over the course of this hour, he managed to cheer me up and persuade me that talking about archive television really isn't the terrible waste of time that I'd been beginning to suspect that it was.I hope you enjoy the next hour, as I think it gave me just a little bit of hope that the things that I continue to persist in doing aren't quite as useless as I sometimes think they are when the midwinter blues have me firmly in their grip.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.

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI on the part location plays in his TV enjoyment.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on February 16th 2025.This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself returns to talk about a subject that he himself suggested, which is all about the locations used on television series, and how much of an effect filming in real places has upon his own enjoyment of a programme.So, whilst inevitably we touch upon several of his favourites such as DOCTOR WHO, BERGERAC, TREASURE HUNT, NEIGHBOURS and DARK SHADOWS, we also manage to venture into the more philosophical territory of the sense of reality, the proliferation of green screen technology, and the sheer delight of being able to say “been there!” when somewhere you've visited pops up on your TV screen, or the leaps of imagination that occur when a potted palm plant on a balcony comes to represent the entire exotic possibilities of venturing to foreign parts.We also give some consideration to filming locations both artificially constructed, or completely genuine and wonder about the value they might add to the series we are watching, or the support they give to the performances of the actors, and, as ever, I'm very grateful to PAUL for taking ourtopic du jour and taking it off in some quite unexpected directions, which is, I suppose, what I hope we try to do in some of the better conversations we have here on VISION ON SOUND.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

PAUL CHANDLER on some more contemporary psychological thrillers. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on December 1st 2024. PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI is back, and this week he wanted to use as our starting point some of the telly that he'd been watching recently, and, because that's always a good prompt for an interesting television-related discussion, we did precisely that. So, whilst this does mean that, once again, the television we're talking about is a lot more modern than I'm usually familiar with, it does also mean that we're returning to a type of television that I've discussed with PAUL on at least one previous edition of the show, as we delve into the murky waters of the contemporary psychological thriller serial, the kind of show that Channel Five in particular seems to be producing in large numbers, and which it is promoting widely to a large audience who, much like PAUL, completely lap this kind of thing up. Our starting point today takes in three of serials first broadcast in 2024 that PAUL has enjoyed, THE CUCKOO starring JILL HALFPENNY and LEE INGLEBY which is a four-part series; THE WIVES, a six-part thriller with JAMIE BAMBER, JO JOYNER and TAMSIN OUTHWAITE; and THE TEACHER, another four-parter featuring KARA TOINTON and WILL MELLOR which serves as a follow-up to a previous series from 2022 featuring SHERIDAN SMITH. As ever, whilst this may be our starting point, our conversation meanders into all sorts of other mostly-related areas, and I do hope that you enjoy our observations over the course of the hour. 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.
