A music, talk and entertainment show that ran for a year before James returned to radio. Effectively the third series of Whale On (1993), James admitted that the title was changed just to make things easier.

From supporting roles in countless British classics in the 40's and 50's, to sharing a screen with McQueen and Brando in the 60's, to TV stardom in the 70's and 80's, Gordon Jackson was a top actor and by all accounts, a very nice man.

Night time variety entertainment show.

The late-night format of "The James Whale Radio Show" relocated in London. Recorded "as live" to save costs, James would later confess that the London shows "were never as anarchic".

A short introduction of the nights' entertainment, roll the tapes and let the show begin.

The guest artists include, guitarist Hank Marvin, vocalists Mireille Pombo and Duke Bakewell, dancer Setsuko Yamada and Turkish flautist Kudsi Erguner. The show also features The Young Women of Mali Choir and The Newham Academy of Music Choir. Mike Mansfield, "Mr. Cue the Music", directs this dazzling pyrotechnic spectacular with equal energy to Jarre's music, and even the rain, drenching even special guest Princess Diana, makes for a dramatic hour of music and views of Docklands under the incredible fireworks displays.
