A NEW RADIO SHOW FOR SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY FANS
In February 2011, the forces of three individuals combined, three individuals all with a love, passion, and lifeblood in common, so strong, that they can waffle on about it for a packed hour every Saturday. Yes, geeks united, at the weekend, could only result in one thing; THE GEEKEND!
Presented and produced by Wayne Imms, who has produced various BBC Radio 2 documentaries (which have covered Star Wars, Star Trek and Oscar winning composer Anne Dudley), I am weekly reporter in my section of the show 'Geek Girl', rounding up the latest geeky goings on outside the studio. Far from a damsel in distress, I gadabout like Lois Lane, seeking out the latest news, scoops and interviews that will whet the appetite of our loyal listeners. Our final and most super comrade is Odeon marketing manager James Tully’s and his 'Screen Scene' looks at new cinema releases, with wondrous wit as his blade of glory.
And we also have some utterly stunning guests each week, here are a few, a moment to show off:
• BAFTA nominated Being Human creator and Doctor Who scriptwriter Toby Whithouse
• Television and film producer Henry Normal (The Trip, Gavin and Stacey, 24 Hour Party People)
• Actor Ray Brooks (Doctor Who, The Avengers, Randall and Hopkirk, Cathy Come Home, Mr Benn)
• Television and film director Ben Wheatley (Down Terrace, Ideal, The Wrong Door, Modern Toss)
• Stuntman extraordinnaire; Vic Armstrong (The Indiana Jones trilogy, I Am Legend, various Bond films, Dune, Flash Gordon)
• Head of Development at Optimum Releasing films; Dan McRae
• Author Alwyn W Turner ( The Man Who Invented the Daleks: The Strange Worlds of Terry Nation)
