Episode 27 - Bob Fischer

This week on Channel Hopper, host and TV and film historian John sits down with writer, comedian and fellow nostalgia obsessive Bob Fischer for a gloriously overstuffed deep dive into the strange worlds of television, cinema, folklore and the uncanny corners of pop culture.Naturally, there’s an obligatory ghost story along the way, but mostly this episode descends into a full-scale nerd off as John and Bob bounce from forgotten children’s TV nightmares to cult films, regional broadcasting oddities, strange theme tunes, public information films, and the sort of half-remembered television moments that haunt you for decades.Fair warning: this one is epically long. We genuinely tried to edit it down, but every tangent somehow led to an even better tangent, and the banter was simply too good to lose.If you enjoy passionate conversations about the weird and wonderful corners of British pop culture, this is absolutely the episode for you.You can find all of Bob’s work over at The Haunted Generation.
