on February 8th 2026.This week, WARREN CUMMINGS returns to the show for another of our random meanders in and around the crazy world of archive TV, and this week our focus is mostly in black and white, as we were prompted by the kind of nonsense I’ve been picking up second-hand on DVD, which led us via the fascinating series that was THE STRANGE WORLD OF GURNEY SLADE starring ANTHONY NEWLEY, to a chat about the careers of actors such as JOHN LE MESURIER, BRIAN WILDE, and NORMAN WISDOM before we focussed on the 1960s for a while with Z-CARS and THE PROTECTORS, and then went on to address why television audiences always seem drawn towards the characters who are clearly the “right bastards” that in real life we might go out of our way to avoid.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.
