Waffle On Podcast from Meds

[Feathers]

Would you believe I've never seen it?

[Meds]

You jest

[Feathers]

I don't actually :)

[Meds]

Seriously you've not seen Steptoe and Son. Hmmm that seems like a idea on finding you a episode and getting a first view opinion :)

[Bromptonboy]

I feel so uniformed!  Usually I know all the shows you cover (liking some more than others) - but I don't know any of these (he hangs his head in shame)..
I guess the only UK kid shows I saw came from Gerry Anderson (LOVED Cpt. Scarlett).

[Feathers]

Since you claimed not to know, according to Wikipedia...

In 1986, Peter Cushing appeared on the British TV show Jim'll Fix It. His "wish", "granted" by Jimmy Savile, was to have a strain of rose named after his late wife. Cushing's letter to the show, in copperplate handwriting, was shown, as was the identification and naming of a rose named "Helen Cushing".[4]

[Meds]

I did know the name but for the life of me as I recorded my mnd went blank. I didnt know about the style of letter though that is intresting. darn wiki and its facts.

WAFFLE ON ABOUT STEPTOE AND SON

Waffle On about Steptoe and Son

Hello and welcome to this months edition of Waffle On. This month we talk about the brilliant 1960's comedy tv series Steptoe and Son. Brilliantly written by Galton and Simpson the series made stars of the two actors Harry H Corbett and Wilfred Brambell but also cursed them with the dreaded typecast noose.

We as usual ask you love listeners to leave us reviews and comments on itunes and please do listen to the promos at the end of the show which include The Martians Are Here Podcast, Anomaly Podcast, Tin Dog Podcast, Knights of the Guild Podcast, Dirty Boxes Podcast and Take Him With You Podcast.

 Waffle On About Star Trek The Next Generation.


Star Trek The Next Generation is as weall  know an American television programme so why are we waffling on about it. Well Its simple. Once a year Waffle On is going to do a show about a prominent American programme that had a big effect on both Meds and Kell. This year its time for TNG.

Star Trek TNG hit our screens in the mid 1980's and impressionable young lads that we were (and geeks at heart) we both jumped into the magical world of this brilliant programme. Plus we both quite fancied Tasha Yar and Deanna Troi. The first few series of TNG were a bit crap, and we say that in our own friendly banter way but the other four series were brilliant. This episode is a little bit longer than normal but it is packed with listener mp3's from Rico, Al, Rick, Kenny, Harry, Jen, Angela, Sue, Sarah and a brilliant email from Katrin so we hope you enjoy it.

As always thanks for listening and make it so.

Hey Meds...sorry to tell you, but Kell was right about the movie Battle Beyond The Stars.  You guys were discussing what the separated Enterprise resembles (Saucer section, back section).  The back section does resemble the ship from Battle Beyond The Stars....  Great episode! Loved the podcast...I love the idea of you guys covering one American show per year...Al

I've been watching the first season of Grange Hill the last couple of evenings, 2nd season is on its way now. Was wondering if this series has been talked about on your podcast? I did see a recent show about Children's programs - will try to dl later, having bandwidth issues at the moment.

There was another old kids show I got some years back called "Changes" which was actually scifi. Sadly I never got around to watching more then the first episode and must have deleted the files since then :(

[Meds]

Hello Beer, we are actually doing a whole shoe on Grange Hill because its too big a subject to put in a compilation episode. So you are in the world of Tucker Jenkins, excellent. I'll let you know when we do that show and I would love a comment or email off you on your thoughts.

Thanks for listening.

Al, Thanks for that call lol, I won't tell Kell ;) we did do a bor of searching after we recorded and found that poster.
