Intimate Contact with Julian Clary

Last Edited: 24-Jun-2015 A Global British Comedy Collaborative document. Edited by John Lucas
Broadcast source is BBC Radio Four unless otherwise indicated. Recording quality is considered good unless otherwise indicated.

There is considerable uncertainty about the dates and number of episodes of this show. Other internet sites seem to ignore or be unaware of the seven episode series broadcast 11-Jan-1992 to 22-Feb-1992 (BBC Genome). The show is not included at all in Tatchell's Guide. My current thinking is that there was a 7-episode 1992 series (or pilot and six more episodes), a repeat in May (one episode, which probably spawned the idea of a pilot) and Oct-Dec 1992 (six episodes), and a six episode second series in 1993.

It would appear most likely that the BBC R7 2004 rebroadcasts are from the original Jan-Feb 1992 series of seven episodes (no pilot). There is no absolute certainty that the order of the BBC R7 rebroadcasts matches the original order of episodes. Your opinions may differ -- documented contemporary proof is eagerly sought.
