WARREN CUMMINGS gets all eclectic.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on May 11th 2025.

This week, WARREN CUMMINGS is back for another of our eclectic little meanders around the fringes of this strange little obsession we have with the thing we call Archive TV.

As ever, we start off not really knowing where our conversations are going to take us, so, whilst we begin with a few reflections on the Christmas TV viewing delight that was WALLACE AND GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL, we deviate through such murky waters as the reimagined version of THE PRISONER from 2008, the antipodean sequel to THE ADVENTURES OF BLACK BEAUTY, and give some consideration to the whole philosophy of classic TV remakes such as VAN DER VALK and BERGERAC.

As we are in a philosophical mood we also pay a brief visit to what was perhaps HILDA OGDEN’s most astonishing television moment, and mull over the various dramas that investigated what happens when the investigators are investigating the very institutions that they work for in BETWEEN THE LINES and REDCAP.

Not only that but, as is our wont, in this packed hour, we also give a little thought to the future of television, and mull over the influence or otherwise of the celebrity lead actor upon our lives.
