The Flashing Blade Podcast Interview Special Number 7 - Sophie Aldred

Ok, well, just as a little bit of filler, here's Tony's old interview with Sophie Aldred. Orignally done for the WhoCast a few years ago, I'm sure there's a few people who haven't heard it. Enjoy. Feedback to show@flashingblade.org.uk

The Flashing Blade Podcast 1-63

Right then. Let's be clear on this. yes, Tony DOES have a rant about.... spiders. yes, Tony DOES have a rant about banks. However, he and Bob DO talk about the 7th Doc play, The Architects of History. And for fans of Gerry Anderson, there may well be a little treat. Oh, and never, EVER recommend an Ultravox album to the show. It will all go very wrong, you just know it....

The Flashing Blade Podcast Interview Special 6 - Matthew Waterhouse

Right then, have an interview with Matthew Waterhouse. We managed to get him for a phone natter whilst he was at a book signing. In it he tells us a little about his books, his days on the show and also comments on how both he and his charecter, Adric, have been perceived down the years... Listen after the DWPA interview with Matthew as, hopefully, the two go together...

Note: Thie interview was done over the electric telephone, so there's a bit of scrunchle and other general radiophonic sounds...

Colditz! No, really. Bob and Tony look at Colditz and muse on why Nicholas Young keeps going in shows that involve 'breaking out'... (LAUGH!)
