First broadcast 9pm, 12th September 2016, on Resonance FM in London.

Throughout the UK’s annual DIY film festival Scalarama in 2016, Roz Kaveney and guests explored London cinema; showcasing the obscure, the weird, the unusual.

Roz Kaveney and guests author and critic Kim Newman, plus Will Fowler and Vic Pratt from BFI’s Flipside Bl-ray and DVD label, discuss underground director Andy Milligan’s grotty, erotic film ‘Nightbirds‘ set in East London of that most Sixties of years, 1970.

Recorded at a screening at Genesis Cinema, near to where the film was shot in Whitechapel.

(NSFW: you can just about hear somone yell “fuck” and a “cock-sucking sonoffabitch” during the Nightbirds trailer, and we play The Married Monk’s ‘Roma Amor’ which includes the word ‘pissing’; but we did take out a “shitty” after broadcast to describe what’s left of 169 Commercial Road).

Our guest, Kim Newman, considers the Scala map.
