SHOW NOTES

(00:01:09) The songs which top and tail this podcast are from a “Lady Penelope Investigates” LP produced by Century 21 Records in 1966 and acquired by Doc at a school Bring & Buy sale in the early 1970s. The LP cover can be seen on our Tumblr page here and the songs themselves can be found here.

(00:03:22) Breakaway was a brand of chocolate-covered digestive biscuit from Nestlé, which started production in 1970 in the United Kingdom, manufactured by Rowntree Mackintosh Confectionery. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1988. It was discontinued in February 2024 after 54 years due to falling sales.

(00:28:19) Of the several incarnations of “The Tomorrow People”, the one Mark is referring to here is the British children’s science fiction television series produced by Thames Television for the ITV Network, the series first ran from 1973 to 1979. All incarnations of the show concerned the emergence of the next stage of human evolution (Homo novis) known colloquially as Tomorrow People. Born to human parents, an apparently normal child might at some point between childhood and late adolescence experience a process called ‘breaking out’ and develop special paranormal abilities. These abilities include psionic powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. However, their psychological make-up prevents them from intentionally killing others. The theme music and opening credits were fabulous.

(00:43:30) “Captain Zep – Super Space Detective” s a British television children’s series produced by the BBC between 1983 and 1984. Constructed as part drama and part quiz game, “Captain Zep” featured mysteries that would be solved by the child audience in the studio, along with a write-in competition for viewers. The child audience were dressed in futuristic clothes and had gelled hair. The series was also notable for its combination of live action and animation, where the cast would interact with drawn alien characters amidst drawn backgrounds.

(00:45:56) “The Comeuppance of Captain Katt” was written and directed by Peter Grimwade as part of ITV’s “Dramarama” series.

(00:47:50) “Whizzer and Chips” was a British comics magazine that ran from 1969 to 1990, when it merged with the comic “Buster”. The format of “Whizzer and Chips” presented the comic as being divided into two separate parts — a novel idea at the time. One part was called Whizzer and the other was called Chips, with Chips existing as a separate pull-out section in the middle. The slogan “Two comics in one, double the fun!” was used.

(00:49:07) This audio clip is from “Rough Justice”, episode 18 of “Porridge”, a British sitcom, starring Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale, written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, and broadcast on BBC1 from 1974 to 1977. The sitcom focuses on two prison inmates, Norman Fletcher (played by Barker) and Lennie Godber (played by Beckinsale), who are serving time at the fictional HMP Slade in Cumberland. The show’s title is a 1950s British slang term for a prison sentence, derived from the traditional breakfast that used to be served in British prisons.

SHOW NOTES

(00:01:09) The songs which top and tail this podcast are from a “Lady Penelope Investigates” LP produced by Century 21 Records in 1966 and acquired by Doc at a school Bring & Buy sale in the early 1970s. The LP cover can be seen on our Tumblr page here and the songs themselves can be found here.

(00:03:22) Breakaway was a brand of chocolate-covered digestive biscuit from Nestlé, which started production in 1970 in the United Kingdom, manufactured by Rowntree Mackintosh Confectionery. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1988. It was discontinued in February 2024 after 54 years due to falling sales.

(00:28:19) Of the several incarnations of “The Tomorrow People”, the one Mark is referring to here is the British children’s science fiction television series produced by Thames Television for the ITV Network, the series first ran from 1973 to 1979. All incarnations of the show concerned the emergence of the next stage of human evolution (Homo novis) known colloquially as Tomorrow People. Born to human parents, an apparently normal child might at some point between childhood and late adolescence experience a process called ‘breaking out’ and develop special paranormal abilities. These abilities include psionic powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. However, their psychological make-up prevents them from intentionally killing others. The theme music and opening credits were fabulous.

(00:43:30) “Captain Zep – Super Space Detective” s a British television children’s series produced by the BBC between 1983 and 1984. Constructed as part drama and part quiz game, “Captain Zep” featured mysteries that would be solved by the child audience in the studio, along with a write-in competition for viewers. The child audience were dressed in futuristic clothes and had gelled hair. The series was also notable for its combination of live action and animation, where the cast would interact with drawn alien characters amidst drawn backgrounds.

(00:45:56) “The Comeuppance of Captain Katt” was written and directed by Peter Grimwade as part of ITV’s “Dramarama” series.

(00:47:50) “Whizzer and Chips” was a British comics magazine that ran from 1969 to 1990, when it merged with the comic “Buster”. The format of “Whizzer and Chips” presented the comic as being divided into two separate parts — a novel idea at the time. One part was called Whizzer and the other was called Chips, with Chips existing as a separate pull-out section in the middle. The slogan “Two comics in one, double the fun!” was used.

(00:49:07) This audio clip is from “Rough Justice”, episode 18 of “Porridge”, a British sitcom, starring Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale, written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, and broadcast on BBC1 from 1974 to 1977. The sitcom focuses on two prison inmates, Norman Fletcher (played by Barker) and Lennie Godber (played by Beckinsale), who are serving time at the fictional HMP Slade in Cumberland. The show’s title is a 1950s British slang term for a prison sentence, derived from the traditional breakfast that used to be served in British prisons.
