VISION ON SOUND

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI talks about the women in his TV life.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on September 15th 2024.

This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI is back, and, I don’t know about you lot, but I’ve been noticing something about the kind of shows that PAUL has been telling us that he enjoys as he’s come onto the show to talk about them over the years.

I mean, regular listeners will already know that, yes, he obviously enjoys his Australian soaps, and they’ll recognise his liking for horror stories, (and he’ll sometimes mention that mixture of soap opera and horror stories that begat DARK SHADOWS), and, of course, the regard in which he holds BERGERAC is beyond repute, but there does seem to be a common factor in the shows that particular draw the attention of those YETI eyeballs, and that seems to be that the majority of them do feature very strong female characters in significant roles, and so that’s what I decided to get him to talk about today.

So, for the next hour, alongside his usual meanderings, we’ll mull over this topic and mention in passing series like THE AVENGERS, DOCTOR WHO, BLAKE’S SEVEN, SAPPHIRE AND STEEL, THE BIONIC WOMAN, and DEMPSEY AND MAKEPEACE, as well as venturing briefly into the more familiar territory of RAMSAY STREET and CELL BLOCK H.
