In 2019, @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social visited Barry Cryer at home to talk about his time working with Kenny Everett. And now you can hear that conversation on today's new episode of Through the Square Window: pod.fo/e/3bf3b0

This Seventies TV show was Britain’s answer to Star Trek – until it wasn’t At the time, Space: 1999 was the most expensive series ever made, but a US producer and pulpier plots saw it lose its way

I feel I’ve been waiting all my life to be commissioned to write this feature about Space:1999 for today’s Telegraph.. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/c7afbc1...

++ADDITIONAL EPISODE++ Just a reminder that, next Wednesday, we're releasing @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social's interview with Barry Cryer, recorded in 2019. This is Barry on the record about all things Kenny Everett. AND IT'S ALL IN THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE!

Joy is a powerhouse - loved meeting her. The conversation covers Play School and Jackanory (of course), but also her ITV years: Catweazle! Tom Baker on The Book Tower! Behind the Bike Sheds! And (slams on the caps) THE GIDDY GAME SHOW! Plus loads more. The podcast will be out later this year.

This weekend @gkw.bsky.social & I went through the square window with the woman who made it possible; Play School and Jackanory creator, Joy Whitby. Coming soon to @squarewindowpod.bsky.social

Walking past the blue plaque to Kenneth Clarke near the BBC today reminded me of how much delight @gkw.bsky.social and I had watching the first episode of civilisation for the latest @squarewindowpod.bsky.social

Really shocked to hear about Rob Grant's passing. It's prompted me to dig out @jroberts332.bsky.social 's excellent interviews with Rob and Doug, which we ran in TV Years magazine in 2019.

Really loved this. Ian is one of my favourite people to read when it comes to writing about TV. Detailed, and with some killer turns of phrase.
