The original POLITICAL DYSTOPIAS ON TELEVISION episode 39 was first broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on July 4th 2021.

For timing reasons, the original interview with STEVE HATCHER had to be trimmed to fit our weekly VISION ON SOUND hour-long timeslot.

The first edit of our original almost two-hour conversation came out at around 1hr 16min, and features a lot more background from Steve on the politics of the times the shows THE GUARDIANS, THE DONATI CONSPIRACY, and 1990 were being made, but, as I thought we should concentrate more on the television series themselves for a radio show about television, much of that didn't make the final cut, but I'm publishing it here as BONUS MATERIAL which I hope will prove of interest.
