Not Faulty, Just Blank

Not Faulty, Just Blank

Backwater Channels Studios

Being born in the late 70s, they believe that the 80s and 90s were the last truly great decades but, can you remember what was popular in music, film and TV? Do you recall your first love, bunking off school, music festivals and more? Join James, Phil & Rich - friends of more than 30 years - as, every episode, they discuss and reminisce about a single year. Was growing up in the 80s & 90s really as good as they remember it? Did it improve with age in the 00s? Take a hilarious trip down memory lane with 3 Essex Boys, several beers, lots of wine gums and just a few scribbled notes to guide them. Now they're taking on a host of single topics and casting their obscure minds over them all. Their minds are willing but are they able? They're Not Faulty, Just Blank.

Film director, Chris Smith, joins the boys in the studio to talk about his latest project - his documentary ’New Town Utopia’ (currently available on Amazon).

He tells us all about the process and associated difficulties of making the film as well as preparing for impending fatherhood.


We also take the time to strand Chris over on ‘Desert Island Dicks’ and he tells us about his favourite films and albums of the 2000s as well as taking on the fiendishly tricky ‘John Cazale Challenge’.


It’s another great episode!

Not Faulty, Just Blank - 1980! The French Fire Engine (Part 1)
play

05/23/23 • 72 min

That’s right. They’re back! The boys return and this time they are all set to take a proper nosey at the 1980s.

The lads are starting their latest journey at the beginning of that outrageous of decades - 1980 - looking to add to their already vast knowledge of recent history.

As usual, they go through the news of the year, Del has more some crazy records for Jim & Phil to tackle and then there’s the regular look back at the TV, Film & Music of the chosen year before a lively debate takes place. It’s all rounded off by a dip into those listener Letters & Emails.

This is gonna be fun!!!


As they’d been away for so long, during recording the boys got over excited and kept on chatting so this episode has been split into 2 parts. Part 2 to follow next week.

03/02/23 • 82 min

This time around the boys are joined by local musician Kate West.

Kate discusses the many varied things that currently occupy her time - from her solo work and her band through to her passion project "The Nightingale Sessions".

We maroon Kate on ‘Desert Island Dicks’ and during her answers she reveals such diversity as a meeting with Shed Seven as well as a previously unrealised love for films starring long haired lead actors on horseback!


Kate also plays not two, but three songs for us. Two of her own gems along with a fabulous cover of a Portishead hit.


You can support Kate and The Nightingale Sessions project by purchasing tickets for the next gig on 8th March by hitting the link below...

03/29/23 • 109 min

So, another decade is completed and Jim, Del & Phil round it off in style by taking a nosey at 2009. Worryingly, the personal memories this episode focus heavily on vomit (careful now) which amuses the lads immensely whilst Del recalls his stag do and Jim has great pleasure in telling a story about Del getting electrocuted....twice!! Meanwhile, Phil is maturing as he expects another baby to join his brood but rather blows that theory out of the water with the story that follows - guess what? More vomit!

Not Faulty, Just Blank - Special Guest - Ricky Ayres

Special Guest - Ricky Ayres

Not Faulty, Just Blank

play

10/31/22 • 66 min

We welcome our 2nd guest to the podcast and what a treat it is too. Ricky Ayres, friend of the pod, has begun a very noble cause by starting up his own CA (Cocaine Anonymous) group to help people who suffer or have suffered from any and all form of addictions. Ricky is incredibly open and honest whilst he discusses how his own troubled past led him to this point and how he now wants to help others.


Of course, we can do deep and we certainly do here but we can also revert back to our foolishness as Ricky will also be staying around as he is deserted on the island for ‘Desert Island Dicks’ and he tells us his favourite Films & Albums of the 00s as well as giving us his impressive answer to the ‘John Cazale Challenge’.


Enjoy!!!

Not Faulty, Just Blank - 1981! Theme Tunes 'R' Us

1981! Theme Tunes 'R' Us

Not Faulty, Just Blank

play

06/06/23 • 110 min

Jim, Del & Phil continue with their journey back through the 80s, stopping this time at 1981.

Their extensive research has uncovered the fact that almost every TV show had a banging theme tune which the lads try to perform and, rather spectacularly, fail to do justice!

Phil & Del once again go head-to-head for another round of 'Uncle Faulty's Naughty Box' and, of course, the lads round up everything from 1981 as they go over the news events, films & music of the year.

It's another splendid episode!


Don't forget to check out the 80s Spotify playlist to see what tunes have been added from the boys' musical choices...
