Two books Calling Scotland Yard by Arthur (Nat Thorp) and The Eleventh Commandment by Jimmy O’Connor

Episode two of The Magnificent O’Connors is on Radio 4 this morning at 09:30 (all episodes available on BBC Sounds). Here are two key texts from our research for the series

Excellent thread and well done on your award!

@skillagesteve.bsky.social thank you for the write up of The Magnificent O’Connors in Creamguide. Earlier this year another pod I worked on ended up in Popbitch, but nothing beats the validation of a Creamguide mention.

Thanks for letting me know and I am glad you enjoyed it. Yes the podcast is over but the O’Connors’ story is still ongoing!

Blimey!

WARNING: This podcast contains Russell Harty, Ken Loach learning a shocking truth about George Sewell, FMB from C4’s The Next Big Thing, the Kray Twins, The Wednesday Play and a gripping tale of a family trying to overturn an 80-year-old murder conviction www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...

Thanks a nice piece. I'm looking forward to the series immensely. With apologies to Jack for the hijack, but if anyone is interested in James O'Connor's TV plays, I wrote about them all (and what I could learn of his life) some years ago: www.britishtelevisiondrama.org.uk?p=6983

And I hope you enjoy the series. In addition to the story of his conviction, we cover Jimmy’s tv career and plenty more besides - and of course Nemone’s extraordinary life too.

It’s a great article Oliver, I read it while we were making the podcast.

‘I’ve spent my life fighting for justice. This is my most... Nemone Lethbridge was a pioneering barrister – until she married a man convicted of murder. Now, at 93, she is determined to clear his name

An excellent article in today’s edition of The Observer that tees up The History Podcast: The Magnificent O’Connors. On air on Radio 4 this Wednesday at 09:30am with all episodes published on BBC Sounds on the same day

The first episode of Through the Square Window, presented by @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social is now live! Find it wherever you get your podcasts, or via our brand-new website: squarewindow.co.uk

Arthur Askey appeared on both John Logie Baird's experimental broadcasts, and the last series of Swap Shop

Yeah they should. Or about the true Byzantine story behind the hunt for missing Doctor Who episodes (I don’t know what the true story is, but I have always thought it would make a great pod whatever it is).

Indeed!

I am here for this

Samira and my twin brother talking telly

Hello! Through the Square Window is a new podcast all about what we used to watch on British TV. Hosted by
@samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and
@gkw.bsky.social, the first ep launches Wednesday next week. A two-minute preview is available now. Just search for us, wherever you get your podcasts.

Hmmm given they do The Lovecraft Investigations I would have thought it would be right up Rhian Roberts’ street. But, yes the BBC is an idiosyncratic organisation to deal with.

I am sure you have, but I will ask anyway, have you tried the Beeb?

Indeed the fact you’re in one mystery place getting clues about another mystery place is confusing

Watched Destination X last night. I thought the format didn’t really work. Seemingly, the contestants need to have no idea where they are, so the clues are 3-2-1 level difficult and therefore pointless (as demonstrated by the fact the contestant who got the most clues was the one eliminated).

Paging the Gra/e/h/a/e/m/es @gkw.bsky.social and @graemeburk.bsky.social. I’m reading a book about Mort Meskin and found this sidebar particularly interesting: stevenbrowerwritings.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/a...

Well that’s got me signed up as a paid supporter. I have long believed that Sapphire and Steel is the greatest thing ever broadcast on ITV and I’ve yet to hear an analysis that really nails what makes it so special (including my own attempts). I suspect this pod may be the thing to actually do it.

What is the charge? Walking a path? A succulent salt path?

I do. It is
