Violence had spread by the end of 1642; despite the King's failure at Turnham Green, multiple armies now swept England, in Ireland the Confederate Association was formed at Kilkenny and the Exiles. And yet still England hoped for peace. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This battle took place in November 1642 near the village of Turnham Green in the first few months of the English Civil War. The Parliamentary army, along with many ordinary Londoners rallied to prevent the forces of King Charles I take the city in an important strategic victory.
Our guest this episode is David Ganly: actor, writer, musician and all round artist extraordinaire. He tells us what it was like when he had to shut down his West End show as lockdown began. And we share thoughts and feelings about what the future holds for actors and theatre-makers in this time of uncertainty.

It’s the Intrepid Birdman’s birthday – so the first part of the recording has Bob chatting with the Birdman about records that have influenced him. We learn about Dave’s being a disco DJ and Dudley Moore. Bob mentions the Thameside birthday party the next day where listeners meet at Turnham Green station and look for the red dot on the map showing the location. I remember getting there at about 6:30 and seeing the station manager desperately trying the get the huge crowd of people out of his station forecourt. There’s a fabulous superquiz and a sketch that implies that you can get away with anything if you wear a Thameside sweatshirt. Only £6.50. Dedications include Alan Jameson Simon Miller from Fulham, Ian Hobbs from Bromley, Philip Chapel from Windsor, Richard Parkurst, Mick Taylor, Clive Barwood from Ascot, Kevin Waldridge from Ealing, Sebastian Peaty, Ann Bedral from Stanmore, Don DT from Putney, Simon from South Norwood, Martin from Hackney, Barry Wanrney NBK, Pedro from Beano’s, the Hitchhikers Guide fan club, Bruiser, Sean Eavan, Mark Bramley
Bob Edwards is in a laid back mood. Moody Blues, 10CC, Paul McCartney, Led Zep, Stevie Wonder. Loads of dedications. A listener gives advice about fixing the big end on a BSA motorbike. Steve Scribbler offers to organise a squash tournament - Bob is sure that he can thrash anyone. During the show there is a "meet the listeners" do with some of the Thameside staff at Hammersmith station.The Thameside Radio 90.2 Good Bite Guide comes from from Pizza Hut in Ealing (£3 for a 13 inch pizza). In 1981 takeaway pizza is a bit of a novelty! More messages from the the Curly Man's answering machine. Dave Birdman plays a wide variety of stuff including "Sir Henry at Rawlinsons End" but he can't find "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" as it's in the old studio.Both Bob and Dave plug the Thameside Radio mystery trip (to Brighton) leaving from Turnham Green next week. Bob says he might drive down but needs to get back in time to start the show. Oh the joys of live radio. Great messages from Midnight Cinderella, Richard Bradford and Andrew Bird. Al
