The Forties Weekender: Banned by the BBC

It's the second of our shows to commemorate the 1940's weekend in Sheringham, and this time around we're looking back at some of the songs that the B.B.C., the moral guardian of the nation, banned. Some where banned because of their supposed explicit content, some on religious grounds, and some because they just didn't seem to like them, reasons which would seem quite tame by today's standards.

(Not Quite) The Thursday Rock Show: 1940's Roots of Rock

It's time for The Thursday Rock Show, or perhaps this week it should be (Not Quite) The Thursday Rock Show, because to coincide with Sheringham's annual 1940's weekend we're going to take a look at some of the songs from that decade that strongly influenced the birth of rock 'n' roll music in the 1950's. So put your blackout curtains up and get your ration books ready to listen to some of the most influential artists of the 1940's.

Rescue: Civil War II Chapter Seventeen

The police transport was now out of the Earth's atmosphere, and Brogan and Castle finally got something in some ways they wanted: resistance.

Rescue: Civil War II Chapter Sixteen

They had made it to the other side of the compound, and the spaceport, with only one interruption, and Sutek had taken care of him with a Vulcan neck-pinch. But still, Brogan had that nagging feeling at the back of his mind. Something was not quite right. Everything had been too easy.

Rescue: Civil War II Chapter Fifteen

It was a cold night for Pendragon and his team as they moved towards Vargas' citadel. Even though they each wore several layers of clothing, the wind was still getting through to their skins. Her teeth almost chattering, Maris found it almost impossible to hold her tri-corder while trying to find the crew of the Valkyrie. Greenleaf soon stood beside her and held her hand steady as he studied the tri-corder readings. It appeared that elves were not as affected by the cold as humans.

The Thursday Rock Show: This Is Spinal Tap

Rescue: Civil War II Chapter Fourteen

The New Zealand Space Port used to be a hive of activity. At all hours of the day and night, shuttle crafts and runabouts would be flying in and out, taking in prisoners and supplies for the nearby penal colony. But since the "defeat" of the United Federation of Planets, all of this had stopped. A few troop carriers had brought in several Imperial prisoners, but nothing more. It seemed that everything had ground to a halt.
