WARREN CUMMINGS talks TV fashions.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on July 13th 2025.

This week WARREN CUMMINGS is back again, and this time we decided to take a slightly irreverent look at the notion that our enjoyment of archive television might be reduced simply because of the fashions being worn or the appearance of the people that turn up in it. Does a great contemporary drama, or a classic comedy series now look just a little bit silly because the characters are wearing terrible fashions, have ridiculous haircuts, or sport quite ludicrous facial hair? And will the cutting edge series currently being made and shown look just as ridiculous in a few years time.

All of this was prompted by a mention of some terrible underpants in an episode of a classic TV drama series that we mentioned in passing a few episodes ago, so we really do have to be very careful of what we are talking about and where it might take our explorations of the archives next time…
