The Sound of The Picture House

How much bonus can you take? Only one more after this I promise. This week boats. Big boat film music and some good stuff too. So come aboard etc.

This week, cars. Good music, and me wittering on like a fool. Good job no one pays me for this.

I know bonus is not necessarily how you might view it, but here is a podcast version of my 60 minute show on Uckfield FM where I play film music on a theme. This weeks trains. I love trains.

Bumper edition with comedian, actor and writer Robin Ince, known for presenting the BBC radio show The Infinite Monkey Cage with physicist Brian Cox among many other things. We go back to 1964 & 1966 and meander all over points in-between and beyond. Some hardcore Hammer talk for those that love that stuff as well. It was a delight.

Broadcaster, author and journalist Matthew Sweet and I dip a toe into 1970's exploitation cinema of the saucy kind. Matthew gives us a fascinating and entertaining insight to what might have been going on not just in the country but inside my fathers head.

Film producer and critic Catherine Bray joins me for a chat that covers event cinema, crappy trailers, the ABC Bournemouth and June 2013 when we were showing the dazzling Liberace film, Behind The Candelabra. There was laughing.

Broadcasting legend Peter Curran joins me for a meander through The Missionary and Tootsie from 1983. We also tip our hat to Withnail and I and Peter's connections with the early days of cinema in Belfast.

Composer, writer and presenter Neil Brand & I talk Close Encounters and Airplane as well as memories of Burgess Hill and the Odeon Brighton.

In an instant overhaul of the podcast I realise me droning on is not the most exciting, so in an effort to make things more interesting and me look good, I have drafted in some brilliant guests. This week the BBC's Francine Stock joins me to talk about June 1970, Ken Russell, pretending to be 18, and why cinema is still the best.

Welcome to the first of a weekly series of new shorter podcasts that delves into what The Picture House Uckfield was showing this week in years gone by. This week it's April 5th 1981.
