Direct 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 of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Each week we focus on a different piece of pop culture, and put it into context by looking at the news events and cultural landscape of the year it was released.
Dave Moor has been a UK television writer and director for the last ten years. He's worked extensively on continuing multi-camera drama in the UK, including EastEnders and Coronation Street. Prior to this he worked as an Assistant Director on a multitude of UK and US films and dramas. He's also a podcast producer, editing, co-writing and co-hosting The Problematic Gaze Podcast with long time friend Dr Lee Arnott.
Dr Lee Arnott was awarded his contemporary history PhD in 2022 having examined the experience of LGBT soldiers in the British Army since 1960. This project, which also examined modern gender relations, was part-sponsored by the Imperial War Museum and he has presented for the museum and appeared on panels discussing the recent history of LGBT in the British Army. He has co-authored a chapter on the impact of the world wars on modern sexualities, for Cambridge University Press’s History of Sexuality series. He is currently researching and writing a social history of Britain since the 1960s through the lens of a very familiar British TV show. He's also a podcast producer, editing, co-writing and co-hosting The Problematic Gaze Podcast with long time friend Dave Moor.
