    449: Gods and Monsters, Virtual Parky, Sherlock Holmes, and more Led Zeppelin...
    Nov 3 2024
    A little later than usual, our weekly podcast features Christian Cawley exploring the latest in classic TV news, publications, and film.

    This week, we look at Cutaway Comics' already funded Indiegogo campaign for the second phase of its Doctor Who-adjacent Gods and Monsters series. There is also news of the AI Michael Parkinson (we jest not) and some remastered classic Sherlock Holmes movies from the Cricklewood days.

    Oh, and we've also managed to shoehorn more Led Zeppelin news into proceedings.
