BY DAWN’S EARLY LIGHT (TV Movie) - maybe some British Hammer horror. The Peter Cushing Doctor Who movies.

Funnily enough I could see Wheezing Groaning Sound adding visuals for the “what was on” segment but I fear it would rob it of the nostalgic mystique and would certainly negatively impact the trio’s comedic improvisations.

Basically - audio only is beautiful. Don’t change!

I suspect podcasts doing this are chasing the likes of JRE which had video from its inception (however rudimentary) and has become more sophisticated - looking up videos or text is part of its grammar. You cannot just bolt it on without proper budget or re conceptualising the show’s format.

The football podcast I listen to from The Athletic has gone to video. It’s utterly fucking pointless. They are sat in a room. Early episodes they were sat in front of cheap wood boards! There is no visual grammar whatsoever. They apologise when they can’t do video - just feel sorry for them!

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street is a historic example of this phenomenon!

This could cause YouTube to collapse.

I have a vested interest interest in this subject but…. I liked SUPERMAN but agree it’s a bit flawed (misleading title) but I did think F1 was a beautifully made summer blockbuster.

BFI IMAX?

Literally watching the same film right now (Amazon ad break) Young fiancée says to him “I wanna go dancing!” At 57 that’s got to be the last thing he wants to hear.

Is that your Cambridge Analytica?

Happy birthday, John!

Same. A big part of it is admiring Alan’s insane dedication to going through with it.

Watching in a friend’s flat in Chiswick in 2002. Couldn’t breathe.
