Thankyou for sharing your thoughts on series 4 , i watched 123 , never got to watch 4 , i cant find 4 anywhere and would love to know where to find it , thankyou for sharing 😊 one of my favourite programmes ever ! Watched it as a little girl.

lovely analysis

Thanks for spoiling my enjoyment of a great series by an amateur and irrelevant podcast

This show was interesting from a pastoral perspective. There were occasions of very difficult decisions for Peter and Father Mac, including things said to them in the confessional.

One of my favs. Cool video as well.

Why would Fr.Ryan want to free his country from England. Odd . You seem to have the same mindset as Mountbatten. Ah the Irish, fierce when provoked.

Sincere apologies to the late ROY Kinnear, not Ray!

Des and Arnie the mechanics, Debbie, Justin, Maurice Michaelson, Scotch Harry, Rose Mellors and Andrew the accountant.....can you think of any others beyond this handful of semi-regular characters in the show?

Brian Jones was a lost leader

I love the Kinks video - very good review 👍🏻

The excellent Adge: King of the Wurzels by John Hudson. The opening chapter about his final day is very poignant. amzn.eu/d/9gkoHSS

The wonderful 2010 Wurzels tribute, Ode to Adge: th-cam.com/video/g1SYNioSSm4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BjRH3kDuO2TbN6PB

I skipped through the book..agree with yr analysis of it. Wasnt impressed by it. Lot of unanswered questions. Thanks 4this

Fact check! Apologies, Billy actually says he 'cannot stand the man' in relation to being questioned by Scott-Palliser about Jack Ford almost being family. 'That's exactly my point' replies S-P. My comment in the video stands as an accurate, but mis-remembered, paraphrase.

Most underrated band ever.

My apologies to CANON Penfold, not Father Penfold, a Church of England minister who talks Jack out of a possible suicide attempt by befriending him in a Liverpool hotel, and sets him up with a bed and work at the Square Deal hostel.

If I had to chose another key character, I still wouldn't choose any other members of the Seaton family, but would instead include Sarah Headley, Matt's widow. In a fine performance by Rosalind Bailey, we see a female mirror image of Jack Ford: sharp, intelligent, 'nosey' and eager to get on. She is more serious than Jack, and more concerned about the legality and appearances of what she does, but still a fearsome opponent - or a priceless ally. In the end though, I think Billy Seaton is the fifth key character because of his continual opposition to Jack's worldview, creating drama that lasts right up until the end of the show.

Once again, apologies for the sync problem. This will be sorted for the next video.

Apologies for the sound sync problem in this video - new software glitches! Hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment.

A really interesting review of a really interesting year. Sounds like a really interesting book too!

Correction: I should say that David Hepworth was the co-founding editor of Q magazine with Mark Ellen.

I am speaking through cotton wool on this one - but the show must go on! 😎

I just want to say 'THANK YOU' to everyone who has viewed this video. By my standards, it is a lot! I am really grateful, and I hope you will keep watching Great Western! There will be more classic rock and pop from the 60s to the 90s, along with classic TV reviews. Please consider Liking and Subscribing - thank you.

Enjoyed that, thank you. I also came up in the early 80’s, and I THINK I first became aware of the Kinks from this song and video, but there was always the vague idea that they had already existed long ago, in a galaxy far far away. They also used to daringly sing Lola in the schoolyard during gym class, but I’m not sure I realized it was the same group. Probably heard You Really Got Me later. It’s weird experiencing things out of order.

Nice interpretation

Hello. Another insightful elevating review. Keep up the great work, & thanks again. Cheers.

Appreciate your insights...I have the book, "Kink" (autographed by Dave!) Is "Thin Line" a "revision of "Kink" or a completely new autobiography?

Thankyou for your fascinating insight into what sounds like a fascinating book on a very fascinating period. I must get hold of a copy!

Thank you for this tremendous review. By way of sharing insight, my perspective, like Dave's, has been shaped by mystical experience. Though my & Dave's experiences were different, our sensibilities about what we've learned resonate, such that when we met outside a small club in Philadelphia, Pa our encounter glowed, & we felt enveloped in a sincere unity of understanding, & a seemingly cosmic pleasure of recognition, & instant spiritual friendship of souls. Just two men outside a club, but I've never experienced anything remotely like it, & I've met many great talents & "stars". I really appreciate Dave, his musical contributions, & his clear caring for the readers of his books. Bravo Dave. Godspeed. And thank you, Paul, for your insightful sharing, & contribution to people's musical & human appreciation. Best to you.

Well done Paul, terrific overview of one of my favourite music books. You really captured Dave's spirit here.

Did you enjoy Living on a Thin Line? Do you agree with my theory about the title? Whatever your thoughts, please Like and Comment. I would also value your subscription too!

I am indebted to my good friend (and massive Kinks fan!) Alan for the following insights: The character I rather unkindly called a 'spiv' in this video is, of course, one of three appearances of this character, from Come Dancing and Don't Forget to Dance from State of Confusion, all the way to Do It Again. It is probably Ray's impersonation of his beloved Uncle Arthur as he would have appeared in the 1940s. Married to Ray's sister Rosie, Arthur was a man who was ground down by the system. Perhaps Busker Ray's terror comes from not wanting to end up a like Arthur? Do check out Alan's channel and his blog for many more fascinating insights into the Golden Age of rock!

Why is the cat locked in their how long has it been in there has it been fed lately

Cute cat ❤

He'll grow opposable thumbs next...

Clever cat ❤

Thats mad! Haha! Clever little sod

SORRY! I thought this would be a YT Short....but I was 10 seconds over! 😅

Regarding the Heart of Soul CD single and the acoustic versions......going unplugged was very on point in the early 1990s with Clapton, McCartney, Nirvana, REM(?) etc, all doing acoustic TV performances on MTV's Unplugged.

I had high hopes that Olivia would be developed, but they've let her do nothing in recent episodes. She's looking like a spare part, sadly. Good actress, though.

Do you have a favourite Cult song? Or do you have some Cult memories you'd like to share? Please comment below.

Part 2 should be up in a few days, folks! Just needs a bit of 'post production'! 😁

Sounds interesting! I love those 'human' moments in rock autobiographies that biographers wouldn't know about that make musicians seem more 'normal'. Though a relative measure for AC/DC I would think! Maybe Brian can't remember anything about 1981-2017 😂 Fascinating as always!

Great review, sounds an interesting book!

Glad to have Lillith back, she was my favourite character on Cheers. Nicholas Lyndhurst is excellent in 'Goodnight Sweetheart' so quite a coup getting him too. Sounds promising!

If you have a view on Making Rumours or the classic 1977 album, please comment below!

Do you love or loathe the new Frasier reboot? Please comment below, but keep it civil!
