Television Times with Steve Otis Gunn – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Today we welcome Howard J. Ford, Director of the hit film ‘The Ledge’ onto the pod to talk about his new movie ‘Escape’ and his upcoming thriller ‘DarkGame’. Find out why he prefers to film in exotic places, even if scouting out a location can sometimes become dangerous, and why he's a big fan of capturing the action by shooting just one take. We discuss why watching films on a phone is a no-no, and how our ever-connectivity with devices is leading to us lose one other. Find out the lengths Howard went to to make 'The Lockdown Hauntings' and the unlikely spot where he ate one of the greatest meals of his life.

This week we welcome comedian Yuriko Kotani to the podcast for a conversation about Japan, comedy, food and telly. I was lucky enough to be able to sit down during the busy Edinburgh Fringe for a podchat with Yuriko whereby we discussed performing comedy in a language other than your own, the magic that lies within Doraemon's fourth dimensional pocket and watching Japanese horror films at way too young an age. Yuriko shares her love for The League of Gentlemen and British comedy in general, while we also discuss the beauty of both Japanese architecture and food presentation.

Today on The podcast we have 'friend of the pod' Stefania Licari popping in for a zoom-chat all about her process in preparing for the Edinburgh Fringe. Stefania lifts the lid on the moment that changed her life forever and set her on course to being a comedian, and why she is planning to diverge away from medical comedy. There isn't much telly chat this week, just a passing mention of E.R, but it's still an interesting listen nonetheless.

This week we welcome the beloved prankster, broadcaster and author Dom Joly to the podcast. I was lucky enough to talk to Dom backstage before one of his performances of 'The Conspiracy Tourist' whereby he opened up extensively about the trials and tribulations around his seminal Channel 4 show Trigger Happy TV, including scenes he couldn't air and having no control over the shoddy American remake. He also talks about how his follow up TV show 'This is Dom Joly' was painfully misunderstood, and how he really felt whilst participating in 'Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls'. Dom shares his love of Gogglebox and reality TV in general, and reveals how he'd still rather have made it as a musician than been successful in comedy. Dom now finds joy in travelling and writing his books, the latest of which deals with the growing problem of online Conspiracy theories including why some people think Finland might not actually exist.

This week's guest is the multi-talented writer Giles Paley-Phillips who chats about his various projects, including his film company, writing career and his many podcasts. We find plenty of common ground along the way including the difficulty in finding time to read, writing to a soundtrack, and even being at the same Glastonbury Festival, although Giles was performing whilst I was a mere punter. We also discuss the annoyance of having to rely on social media whether we like it or not, and how influencers are gaining power over the commissioning of new TV projects. Giles shares his love for Columbo and his disdain for the resurgence of game shows, while I somehow raise the topics of MAFS and Naked Attraction yet again, but come on, how can I not?

This week's guest is the highly entertaining Professor Richard Wiseman, who is not only a psychologist, author and magician, but also a podcaster. In this conversation we discuss our experiences with the paranormal, including lucid dreaming and theatrical superstitions, whilst exploring the psychology behind fear and belief. I explain the challenges of overcoming a criminal mindset while Richard recounts anecdotes from his early appearances on television and how he overcame nervousness thanks to Richard Madeley. We also discuss the difficulty of suspending your disbelief while watching TV, the importance of authenticity in comedy and the demise of event television. Richard also explains why he has no interest whatsoever in music and is therefore immune to jingles.

In a change to the current schedule we find ourselves with a curve ball of an episode that it is in effect something of an announcement. This might be a podcast or a therapy session, you decide. In this episode Steve interviews himself and discusses the idea behind his upcoming debut Edinburgh show and all the trials and tribulations leading up to it. They say talking to yourself could well be a sign of madness, so at least one of these Steves is in trouble.

Trigger warning: There is talk of various unsavoury subjects that some may find troubling. Please keep this podcast away from children, the religious and fans of the monarchy. You've been warned.

Today on the pod we have the absolute legend that is Bernie Clifton. Fresh from releasing his autobiography 'Crackerjack to Vegas' Bernie chats about his failed attempts to become a plumber which in turn led him to join the RAF and fly to football matches in Cold War bombers. Bernie talks warmly about his comedy cohorts including Bob Monkhouse and Les Dawson, the latter urging him to become a prop comic, something Bernie is grateful for to this day. Learn how Oswald the Ostrich came into being and why Bernie once took him up in a microlight aircraft to appease a reporter from The Daily Mirror. Bernie is clearly touched to be referenced in an Inside No.9 episode and speaks fondly of all involved. He also spills the beans on the televisual debacle that was 'It's a Royal Knockout', along with behind the scenes anecdotes from his life in TV including the seminal kids TV Show 'Crackerjack'.

This week's guest is the wonderful Jarred Christmas, who joined me backstage at The Tyne Theatre for a chinwag just before actual Christmas. We chat about bungee jumping in New Zealand, the magic of cash-back in the early 2000s and the role of social media in shaping the future of television. Jarred explains how the TV show Friends introduced him to the concept of different religions and explains why he'd rather throw a mince pie out of the window than eat it.
