Wow. After last week’s “low-key” podKast with Christian Cawley and James McLean, this week we bring in Gareth Kavanagh and the conversation swings and turns from Doctor Who video games and New Adventures to other podcasts, past podKasts, and Philip Martin’s upcoming East of Heysham, which Gareth is producing.

(chortle) James’s comment on 1980s video games completely sums up the decade socially, politically and morally – “The shiny cover belied the rubbish inside”.
Not really. The 80s were great, if you actually lived in them. Rubbish is a lot of now.
Oh myself and Whom lived it alright!
I think there was a great deal of rubbish which we enjoy with nostalgia and because we knew no better. I remember, being a Spectrum user, how many games I had to accept would look awful, but because my expectations were low, when they looked bearable, or above a certain standard, they looked great. Bionic Commando on the Spectrum I played for hours, days, weeks. Looks terrible if you look now, but embraced it back then. The cover, was much, much better.
Bionic Commando rocked!
