The ROUND THE ARCHIVES podcast (created & hosted by LISA PARKER & ANDREW TROWBRIDGE) brings its listeners a unique and fun view of the fascinating world of Archive Television. After successfully completing many editions, one day they decided to risk losing their reputation for high quality podcasting by approaching MARTIN A W HOLMES to contribute to their show, and, because he couldn't find another more spontaneous method, the only way he found that he could do so was by writing down every word before he recorded the articles for them. Consequently, those words were available for publication, and the result is this whopper of a book, which covers his personal opinions on the first episodes of shows as diverse as THE YOUNG ONES, THE SANDBAGGERS, STAR COPS, and THE BLACK ADDER, as well as his six-part examination of QUATERMASS AND THE PIT, and much, much more.
