SHOW NOTES
(00:00:00) The Doctor Who Appreciation Society’s “Capitol Cutaway” convention is on Sunday 6th April 2025.
(00:09:35) The Polish Social and Cultural Center (POSK for short) in London’s Hammersmith district was founded by the Polish community in the UK.
(00:18:57) “Swallows and Amazons” is a 1974 British film adaption of the 1930 novel of the same name by Arthur Ransome.
(00:19:57) This is a clip from “Val De Ree”, an episode of the “Victoria Wood Presents” BBC TV series from 1989. Here Victoria and her best friend Jackie go camping on the Yorkshire Dales.
(00:20:18) “Better drowned than duffers if not duffers won’t drown” is a telegram sent to the children in “Swallows and Amazons” from their Royal Navy father. There is deliberately no comma between “if” and “not”.
(00:30:45) Alternatively known as The Roman Baths, the open-air (filtered sea water) swimming pools at Lytham St Anne’s were opened in the early 1900s and closed down in the mid-1980s.
(00:36:23) Simon Groom was a presenter of BBC TV children’s programme “Blue Peter” from 1978 to 1986. Groom became known among the programme’s production team for his dry humour and ability to ad lib innuendo in his broadcasting (which would pass over the heads of the programme’s main audience of children). One such statement was at the end of a piece on a replacement door knocker at Durham Cathedral, declaring “what a beautiful pair of knockers”. Another remark followed a piece about hedge maintenance, in which he closed with the remark, “As long as you have a decent length to start with, well then you can manage a good lay”, much to the irritation of producer Biddy Baxter.
