Filming locations for Fast Show across the North-East

The Fast Show was a little bit wooh and a little bit whey in the 1990s - a fast-paced BBC comedy sketch show, starring Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson, that was packed full of catchphrases and featured many scenes filmed in the North-East.

Review: The Damien Slash Mixtape

The Damien Slash Mixtape equally defied expectation. It actually made fun of things you want fun made of. It goes very fast, leaping between subjects sure-footedly, unexpectedly. It is, in short, witty, apt and very welcome. And all in 15 minutes. Written and performed by Daniel Barker, with help on the former by Tom Savage, on the latter by Natasia Demetriou, it is worth going into a room at 11pm on your own to hear it lest you laugh immoderately under the gaze of gloomier members of your household. There are three more programmes to come. I intend not to miss a moment. But if you missed this one, go to Sounds and find it.
