SHOWNOTES

(00:01:42) Rick Jones was a Canadian-born television presenter and folk musician, best known for his work in BBC children’s television programmes “Play School” (1964–1973) and “Fingerbobs” in 1972.

(00:01:42) “Fingerbobs” is a British children’s television programme made by Q3 for the BBC. Only thirteen episodes were ever made and were regularly repeated until December 1984. Presented by mime artist “Yoffy” (played by Canadian actor Rick Jones), each ten-minute episode told a story centred on a paper finger puppet animal and usually involved collecting various items (such as pebbles or feathers) to make up another object at the end. Each finger puppet had their own song.

(00:03:30) “Play School” is a British children’s television series produced by the BBC from 1964 to 1988 and aimed at pre-school children. Each programme followed a broad theme and consisted of songs, stories and activities with presenters in the studio, along with a short film introduced through either the square, round or arched window in the set.

(00:05:15) Cosmo Canyon is a location in role playing video game “Final Fantasy VII“.

(00:23:00) This clip is from an episode of “Eight Out of Ten Cats” and can be seen here.

(00:25:07) There was an uncredited extra in every episode of “The Young Ones” now being referred to as the fifth housemate.

(00:28:46) This sketch is based on this recent episode of the BBC’s “University Challenge” and can be seen here. The relevant footage occurs around the start from 00:03:15.

(01:06:25) “The Arabian Knights” was an animated segment of “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour”.

(01:08:00) Location filming for the Victorian house in this story was at Grim’s Dyke, a house and estate in Harrow Weals in northwest London. The house is best known as the home of the dramatist W.S. Gilbvert of the opera partnership Gilbert and Sullivan.

We call it sky surfing here.

When I heard the name of this episode I kind of imagined it as an almost Kobayashi Maru situation. You know in Star Trek, it’s the no win situation that Kirk cheats at to win, and that cheating is the reason he gets given the captain’s chair because they really like his initiative in… cheating… I guess? But then it turned out to not be that at all. It’s The Tsuranga Conundrum, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 4, 2018.
