Waffle On about Nigel Kneal the creator of Quatermass.

Ahoy and welcome to the good ship Waffle On. This month we chat away about the wonderful and much missed writer Nigel Kneale who is most well known for creating Quatermass. He was a pioneer of British science fiction and often over shadowed by the likes of Doctor Who and Twilight Zone. Kneale was a visionary and brought us some of the most dark and forward thinking science fiction ever created.

We also talk about Ripper Street, Derek, The Hobbit and why Die Hard 5 Die Boring is a real let down.

Mini Waffle On about Lack of Sports on Terrestrial TV.

Another mini waffle for you and in this edition we talk about the lack of sports on terrestrial TV.  The BBC has recently lost F1 to Sky Sports, another in a long list of sports standard TV stations have lost to the bigger cable channels. If you can afford Sky then great but a lot of people can;t afford to splash and so are missing out on watching great sports for free. Cricket is lost, the majority of football games are lost and as mentioned F1 is lost but and thank goodness for a but, F1 has been partly saved by a new venture called F1 in Pubs  in which Meds attended the Australian race  in Birmingham. So join Meds and Kell as they have  a chat about what they miss and what could be done for sports on TV.

For more information of F1 in pubs click the link above it follow them on twitter @F1inPubs or on Facebook just search for F1 in Pubs

Waffle On about Sherlock Holmes 'The Brett Years'

Welcome back to waffle On. In this show Meds and Kell talk about Jeremy Brett's performance as the master sleuth Sherlock Holmes. We talk about the series and Brett himself, along with a brief chat about the other actors in the series. We also talk about other Holmes television series and the odd film but it is Jeremy Brett that we concentrate on.

Brett's Holmes ran from 1984 to 1994 and for me was the ultimate Holmes sadly the series only ended because of Jeremy's death. We hope you enjoy this episode, we recorded it on skype but i think it sounds pretty cool.

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet

On this months episode Meds and Kell talk about the classic comedy drama Auf Wiederdehen, Pet. Created by Franc Roddam and written by the brilliant Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais it ran from 1983 to 1986 and then from 2004 to 2008. Introducing such actors as Tim Healy, Timothy Spall, Kevin Whately, Jimmy Nail, Pat Roach, Christopher Hairbank, Gary Holton and later Noel Clarke to the screens all of these actors have gone to higher things, except Gary, sadly he died during filming of the second series.

The basics of Pet are a group of our of work builders head to Germany to seek work, here we see them get into all kind of situations some good, and many involving the character of Oz brilliantly played by the awesome Jimmy Nail. There was only four series of Auf Wiederdehen, Pet and because of the sad loss of Pat Roach i very much doubt we will see these characters on our television screens again.

Enjoy.

We'd just like to thank Arthur Vasey Robbo1510, Eamon, Dangelus and Crystal who both sent us nice comments over the past months. And a big shout out to Rick Moyer, and Peter Foltz who all contributed to Waffle On, we shall shout you on our next recording.

Apologies for the clicking sounds you may hear during this episode. We recorded this two months ago before i became a dad and we think it was the old battery lead causing the odd click in recording. We have a new lead so all is well. Thanks

Come and join Meds and Kell as they have a fairly heated discussion on the state of British TV.

British TV (in our opinion) has taken a bit of a dive recently and with cable channels beginning to make decent TV we ask what the hell is the BBC doing, so if you fancy listening to us Waffle On in no structured way then download and listen.

Joining them in their rant is MIke Featherstone, Tim Morris and Phil Hayes who sent in audio comments and Meds reads emails form Peter Coleman, John Sheldon, Aron Gamble, Peter Bodenham, Woody and Di.
