VISION ON SOUND

LISA PARKER with someof her recent TV viewing.

This week, after far too long an absence, LISA PARKER from the ROUND THE ARCHIVES PODCAST is back and, as is often the case, we spend a very pleasant hour just chatting about what kind of archive television shows she and her partner ANDREW have been watching during the intervening months.

So we talk a little bit about their recent viewing choices which include season thirteen of DOCTOR WHO (The one that includes such classics as TERROR OF THE ZYGONS and THE SEEDS OF DOOM which is yet to be released on Blu-Ray) and her recent rediscovery of the nineteen-nineties sci-fi classic BABYLON 5, and if both of those series don’t convince you of our sci-fi credentials this week, we also give a nod towards PICARD, season seven in the DOCTOR WHO BLU-RAY COLLECTION, and even BLAKE’s SEVEN.

Although, to be fair, the bulk of our conversation is given over to an appreciation of Z-CARS (as can currently be enjoyed on TPTV) and her recent rediscovery of THE COLLECTORS, an almost forgotten one-series wonder of a drama series which was filmed in the town of POOLE where they now live, which prompts a few thoughts on the joy of seeing familiar locations in the TV series we enjoy.

And if that’s not enough, we also get a swift update on their epic CROSSROADS marathon viewing, and touch on one or two other series along the way.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on May 4th 2025.
