Greetings 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 from yesteryear. This week, as we attempt to record ourselves for YouTube (watch this space!) we cast out Gaze back to the year 2000 and join spirit animals Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha for a dissecting of the international smash hit comedy series Sex And The City. What can this show teach us about the advance (or demise) of female sexual emancipation in the 21st Century? Do the sexual and romantic antics of our heroines hold up in 2025? Pour yourself a cosmopolitan, kick off your Manolos and listen to how this show changed the TV landscape.

We watched Season 3 Episode 1 of Sex And The City entitled 'Where There's Smoke'

Greetings 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 from yesteryear. This week, as the UK swelters in a heatwave, we turn up the heat and cast our gaze on 80's blockbuster action film Top Gun. There's aerial dogfights, a plucky but tortured hero, shiny Hollywood masculinity, power ballads and THAT volleyball scene. If we weren't already hot under the collar we discuss those famous shower scenes.
