Direct from PG Towers, join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week, we cast our gaze on the classic British film 'Educating Rita' from 1983, starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine. Touching on patriarchal expectations on women, class and education, there's plenty in this film to gaze upon.
Also, Dave's onions are slowly pickling. And will Dr Lee be having a 'Mary' Christmas?

Greetings from PG Towers! Join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV Producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we cast our Gaze over controversial UK sitcom 'Till Death Us Do Part'. A moment of popular culture that continues to be divisive to this very day. The character of Alf Garnett holds controversial opinions on immigration, empire, monarchy and politics. Was this satire or far right propaganda on the BBC? With the political climate in the UK and across the globe veering towards the extreme, can we learn a lesson from a 60's sitcom?

This week we cast our Gaze over late night delight 'The Girlie Show' from 1997. Inspired by the phenomenon of 'Ladette' culture in the UK, which in itself was a response to 'Lad' cutlture, which in itself was a response to the 'New Man'...... Phew!!!

This week we cast our Gaze over high school musical 'Grease' from 1978. The Travolta phenomenon steps up a gear and Olivia Newton John hops aboard. Many a teen girls and gays favourite. Euphoric, innocent fun? Or perhaps a darker representation of teens, cultural morals and gender roles. Also, Dr Lee bursts Dave's 'fake it till you make it bubble'. And just who is the Sandra Dee, and who is the Rizzo in this friendship. You can watch Grease on many media formats in the UK and across the globe!
