  • Summary

  • Comedy writer and actor Gemma Arrowsmith (The Tracey Ullman Show, The Now Show, Doctor Who) joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears to talk about all things telly from the 80s to the present day. We cover the differences between the TV and live versions of Bottom and why you shouldn't have taken a 10 year old to see the latter. We also cover Ghostwatch, TV telethons, the increasingly baffling finales of kids TV dramas as well as the world's most frustrating computer game.


    You can find Gemma Arrowsmith at her website, on X, or check out her TV history themed Substack, Idiot Box. Her BBC Radio 4 sketch show Gemma Arrowsmith's Sketched Out is all here too. Great.


    If you're a fan of Ghostwatch, do check out our episode all about June 1977 in which we cover "Alternative Three", a Ghostwatch-esque Science Report special about a secret base on Mars which, similarly, spooked some more gullible viewers! And if you're a fan of Bottom or Rik Mayall, Gareth made a BBC Radio 4 documentary all about the man himself, which is still available here.
