Contributions to TV and Radio
I’ve jotted down some information about various television and radio programs that I have been involved with, including links to the BBC so that you can find out more information if you are interested.
I made a contribution (as TV historian) to a programme about the early days of live TV drama which BBC Four filmed as part of their Time Shift series. You can find details of the program by clicking this link BBC Four Time Shift - Live on the Night
In the same vein, I also appeared on Front Row to talk about live television when The Bill decided to broadcast a whole hour length episode live. You can hear the interview by following this link Radio 4 Front Row - 30/10/03
With my TV historian hat on, I also chatted to Mark Lawson about Dennis Potter’s drama The Singing Detective when it was made into a film starring Robert Downey Jr, Radio 4 Front Row - 10/11/03
This led in turn to an appearance on Night Waves, in an edition to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the death of Dennis Potter. Radio 3 - Night Waves - Night Waves: Landmarks
