Hi, I'm John Mabee, TV and film historian and archivist.
John MabeeHOST
Thank you for tuning into the Channel Hopper podcast, a deep dive into the world of TV and film with special celebrity guests with a new episode every Friday.
John MabeeHOST
We discuss all things TV and film related and our guests get the opportunity to play three of their favourite themes that mean something to them.
John MabeeHOST
So without further ado, let's get on with the show and meet this week's celebrity guest.
John MabeeHOST
Welcome to another edition of the Channel Hopper podcast.
John MabeeHOST
I'm your host, John Maybe, TV and film historian, writer, podcaster, archivist, and more annoying than those people who bring smelly snacks into the cinema.
John MabeeHOST
My guest this evening is an award-winning actor who has appeared in many of our most loved TV shows, including Lovejoy, The Armstrong and Miller Show, The Armando Iannucci Shows, Lead Balloon, and The Thick of It.

For some reason, my YouTube feed flashed up because a couple of weeks ago, I watched John Noakes climbing the top of some steeple.
Dave MoorHOST
That was Nelson's column, wasn't it? Yes, that did.
Dave MoorHOST
Absolutely shocking.
Paul BurlingHOST
Easy.
Paul BurlingHOST
John Noakes and Shep the dog would be turning in their graves.
Paul BurlingHOST
Get down, Shep.
Paul BurlingHOST
They knew how easy it was.

On SBC2 now, it's Bluey, in which former children's TV stars are forced to take a blue ecstasy tablet, or E as it is known in street slang, shush down there, and then film as they go insane from the effects of drugs.
Richard HerringHOST
In this episode, Peter Purvis thinks he has peas coming out of his face, and John Noakes...
Richard HerringHOST
Do you mind not making that noise? I'm trying to do my thing.
Richard HerringHOST
And John Noakes... jumps off of Nelson's column, believing he can fly.
Richard HerringHOST
Don't take drugs, kids.
Richard HerringHOST
On SPC One, though, it's Richard Alley's craven news round.

There's loads of YouTube videos.
Jon GauntHOST
There's a couple with him and John Noakes from Blue Peter, where he's climbing.
Jon GauntHOST
Well, one of them is, I don't think it's with him, but they do Big Ben.
Jon GauntHOST
John Noakes climbed the whole of Big Ben without a harness on.
Jon GauntHOST
And then this Fred guy, he took him up.
Jon GauntHOST
He goes up loads of church steeples.
