  • Sara Pascoe to Host Special Comic Relief Live Stand-Up Show at Edinburgh Fringe
    SARA PASCOE TO HOST SPECIAL COMIC RELIEF LIVE STAND-UP SHOW AT EDINBURGH FRINGE 18th July 2018: Writer, comedian and actress Sara Pascoe is set to host a special Comic Relief Live show at the Edinburgh Fringe next month. Sara, who sold out her entire run at last year’s Edinburgh Festival with her critically feted show, LadsLadsLads, will be joined by some of the UK’s most exciting comedy talent for an exclusive, one night only, stand up gig for Comic Relief. A variety of comedians will support Sara including Jamali Maddix (Vice series Hate Thy Neighbour, Chortle Student Comedian of the Year), Larry Dean (Live at the Apollo, Roast Battle), Rachel Parris (Murder in Successville, The Mash Report), Catherine Bohart (BBC New Talent Hotlist 2017) and Steen Raskopoulos (Top Coppers, Barry Award nominee). Comic Relief is also proud to present special guest Nina Conti (8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Live at the Apollo, Russell Howard’s Good News) who will make an appearance on the night. Sara expressed her excitement about the show saying: “I’m super excited to be heading to the Edinburgh Fringe for this year’s Comic Relief stand-up show. The city is always buzzing and it’s a brilliant place to discover the hottest comedy talent. I’ll be sharing the stage with some of the best comedians on the circuit so it’s a great chance for the audience to enjoy them all in one place. It’s even better knowing that it’s for a great cause - money raised from the gig will enable Comic Relief to improve people’s lives here in the UK and around the world.

  • The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows
    The 100 Greatest Kids’ TV Shows UK TV compilation marathon : 2001 : dir. : Channel 4 : ? min prod: : scr: : dir.ph.: …………………………….……………………………………………………………………………… Guest pundits: Ref: Pages Sources Stills Words Ω 8 M Copy on VHS Last Viewed 5500 2.5 0 0 1,287 - - - - - No August 2001 Broadcast Channel 4: 27/08/01. The last few years of the 20th century presented the media with a perfect occasion to conduct their own ad hoc round-ups of the century’s most influential people, most important films, best popular music etc etc. So 2001 is perhaps a little soon to be dipping back into the same baskets, yet Channel 4 has strewn the year with surveys similar to this one (see for example “Top Ten Teen Idols”). One might think such retrospectives were a clear invitation to the over-25s to bask for a short while in the kind of programming they used to enjoy – a brief escape from a television saturated with material aimed at the apolitical, pill-popping post-Thatcherite generation, breast-fed on tabloid culture. Ah but no, Channel 4 are too shrewd for that. Their retrospectives are chiefly an opportunity for that same generation to thumb their noses at everything which preceded their own miraculous lives. And so it goes with this one. It’s some reflection on the value of their poll that the two programmes topping Channel 4’s list were not even children’s programmes anyway! – “The Muppet Show” (no.2) and “The Simpsons” (no.1) never purported to be made for kids, were never broadcast in children’s TV slots, and hence not surprisingly are best favoured by adults.

At the exhibition, objects from children’s television history sat alongside screens showing the programmes to visitors. Our research explores how children’s television culture operates as a site of memory and nostalgia, through which we can investigate forms of (inter)generational cultural memory. This paper explores the reconnections and disconnections that emerge in encounters with the material heritage of children’s television in Britain.
