Beloved
Tiny tyrant is unsympathetic to all arguments in favour of “getting up” and “doing things”
Wow! I never even knew he could sing in a comedic style
I bought this today in a charity shop. A signed copy! And am reminded that for years I thought the lead singer of the band was Keith Barron

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.
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

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
