Our last episode of our first series. We did have an interview lined up, however that will be in series 2. So we close with a discussion about the period of history we are most interested in, the incredible decades from 1952 to 1982. Kevin discusses his psychedelic side, and Bill reveals a phobia of coffee bars. David makes a basic mistake confusing Vandellas and Mandelas. But it definitely is not a Mandela effect.We also squeeze in review of a Paul Jones and Dave Kelly gig.

This week we have a whole episode on Gerry Anderson, covering his early years through to 1969. Famous and obscure productions are covered, and Dave can't help saying Five, Four, Three .... and so on.We also manage some recommendations, including Malcolm McLaren and Jefferson Airplane. Note - that's Airplane.

Only one feature this week, taking up almost the entire episode. Kevin continues looking at TV series that have been adapted for cinema, with the focus on the UK.Once again we only have time for obvious recommendations, but we have plenty more recorded for future episodes.

Two major features this week. Kevin tackles American TV series that have been adapted for cinema. In a future episode we will cover British TV to film. In our second feature we discuss the collaboration between Jane Arden and Jack Bond. Their films are deeply provocative, feature graphic sex and violence, and can be a very tough watch.Sadly we only have time for obvious recommendations, and two film reviews.

Barely pausing for breath Kevin and Bill continue the two features started in episode 6; Film remakes, and the film acting credits of David Bowie. Whats the deal with Nicolas Cage? What is Bowie's shortest cameo? Why does Dave go on about sequels?Plus recommendations and reviews including Nico 1988. That alone should encourage you to listen.

Our focus this week is on films. In our first feature, we consider originals vs remakes. Kevin takes us through the silent era, biblical epics, westerns and musicals. Then the focus switches to the film (and TV) appearances of David Bowie through to 1986. The second part of each of these topics will be in episode 7.In our recommendations we cover dream pop, feminist art and Baroque music. And aliens.But no mention of German synth music this episode. We are losing our touch.

Some recording artists are prolific, others one hit wonders. What about those who release their first and second albums decades apart or take a break?We also discuss the film career of Lindsay Anderson, the British film, documentary and theatre director famous for his satirical trilogy commencing in 1968 with 'if....'.As always we suggest a wide range of music, film and art for you to look up.And Bill goes for a short walk in a park.

Episode 4 already. The panel have views, some strong, on box sets. Kevin and Bill discuss the career of quixotic musician Kevin Ayres. And Dave confirms he has never been to Poughkeepsie, in fact he has no idea where it is.
