Ray Gosling's Final Interview (1939-2013)

Wed 20 Nov 2013

Over 1,000 radio documentaries and 100 for the telly. A pioneer of gay rights. Community activist. Anarchist. University drop-out published by Faber in his early twenties. Ray Gosling has spent his entire life fighting the system and standing up for ordinary people. Then it all went horribly wrong after that confession on live television. Suddenly people forgot half a century of broadcasting. It’s time to remember.

Interview: Luke Pearson On Hilda

Mon 04 Nov 2013

Luke Pearson is an illustrator, cartoonist and comic book artist and not only is he mint at drawing, he can write a bit too. We love him most for Hilda, a series about a young girl who goes on loads of adventures and ends up dossing about with a guy made of wood, a dog with antlers, and a city full of dwarves. You get the picture…

Her parents still live there now, but their lives have been changed since the film came out, and not in a good way...

Interview: Charles Webster, House Music Legend

Sun 06 Oct 2013

He’s got thirty-odd aliases and done umpteen squared remixes and cubed productions.

Interview: Mother Nottingham Su Pollard

Thu 26 Sept 2013

For the last decade she’s been our unofficial mascot. Su Pollard, or ‘Mother Nottingham’ as we like to call her. She made her name in TV series like Hi-de-Hi! and You Rang M’Lord? She even got to number two in the UK singles charts in 1986 - a time when that actually meant something. She’s coming home this December as Theatre Royal have confirmed her for this year’s panto. We finally hooked her up with Nottingham’s Mr Sex...
