WARREN CUMMINGS joins me to discuss how TV affects our moods.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on January 18th 2026.

This week, I invited WARREN CUMMINGS back again because I wanted to talk about television and how it can affect our moods. Whilst I was expecting to end up discussing whether or not watching the news channels is a good thing or a bad thing, and whether it’s best avoided, WARREN, as expected, took the topic in a whole other direction, and I think that led to a far more interesting hour, as I hope you’ll agree if you stick around to listen.

So, the following hour will take us on a journey from the final QUATERMASS series, via some peculiar observations about THE GOOD LIFE and the heavily armed businesspeople of the 1960s and 70s, THE NEW AVENGERS, the animated version of STAR TREK, MORTIMER & WHITEHOUSE GONE FISHING, SLOW HORSES, EDGE OF DARKNESS, TW3 and Z CARS, and a whole lot of other distractions as we discuss the kind of television that causes our spirits to either wilt, or soar to the heights of, well, not exactly ecstasy, but certainly somewhere at least vaguely enjoyable.
