The Problematic Gaze
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.
The Problematic Gaze
'Doctor Who - City Of Death' from 1979. Mona Lisas, Green Wormy Monsters and Paris High Jinks
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 series of Doctor Who with the story 'City Of Death' from Season 17. Join Lee''s favourite Doctor, Tom Baker, and his assistant Romana (in questionable schoolgirl attire) for a campy romp around Paris.
Also, Christmas Party season has started! And is death by rhubarb a thing?
