VISION ON SOUND EPISODE 65 - TX JANUARY 2 2022 - REVIEW OF THE VOS YEAR

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on January 2nd 2022.

A Happy New Year to you all as we plummet headlong into the space year 2022 with another action-packed year of our show. Well, perhaps not exactly action-packed, but I think we’ve certainly got a few exciting tasty morsels to tempt you with over the coming weeks, and they’re not all of them simply the stale leftovers from our Christmas hamper.

This time last year, Sandy and I gathered here at VoS HQ and discussed the various telly faces that had been lost to us in the previous year, but this year we’ve decided that we’re really not in the mood to do that again, and instead, I decided to strap Sandy into his recording chair as I went through the list of shows we produced for VISION ON SOUND last year, many of which he hadn’t been involved in, and ask if he had any further nuggets of information or extra insight he might have into our various topics and, as you’ll hopefully find out as well, even when he didn’t, it was just nice for me to rediscover what an eclectic mixture of topics we’d covered during the past twelve months.

In the course of the hour, we revisit Scandi Noir (some filmed in Stockport - The new Hollywoodford!), ponder upon the binge watch, chat about some of our favourite new shows, the Christmas Panto, police dramas, Flash Gordon and the urge to bellow "All Hail Ming!" at Stockport County. We also touch upon SPIRAL, TOMORROW'S WORLD, SCHITT'S CREEK, SPIES, BIG BROTHER, not being the fan of THE WEST WING that I think he is, music, THE SWEENEY, Simon Park, CALLAN, THE HUNDRED, Concert-going Post-Lockdown, SHERLOCK HOLMES, FRANKIE HOWERD, and CORONATION STREET.
