Many happy returns of the day

Sadly this is outside of my remit, I’m afraid, but you could try and contact the Repair Shop production team. With Doctor Who currently off air though it might not be the best time

That sounds fun!

Excellent thread and well done on your award!

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!

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.

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

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.
