DT on Chain Reaction.....
...that is, the part of it you might not know!
I (think I) know everyone knows about the 2008 episode of the BBC Radio 4 show Chain Reaction...the one where Catherine Tate interviews David. Right? You know that one?
Well, if you don't, you can listen to it by heading over to my deep-dive Substack post on David's turn as Mickey in 1997's Hurlyburly (either subscribe - it's free! - or click "Nope, just take me to the posts!") and scrolling all the way to the bottom...although I'd suggest reading the story of Hurlyburly, too, while you're there. Ya know.
But did you know that on the following night, David did the interviewing?
Yep - he interviewed Richard Wilson!
You can listen to it on BBC Sounds, or if you'd rather listen with the option to download, click here.
Enjoy!

Master Eon: (frantically flipping through books in the Academy library) Come on... It wasn't this hard when I was invisible last week... Where's the Core-
Master Eon: (noticing Wind-Up and Countdown, quickly hiding the book) *cough* Greetings Skylanders, isn't it great being so noble and just?
Wind-Up: Uh, sure Master Eon. You okay?
Master Eon: Yep, just a regular day doing my usual heroic nonsense. Nothing unusual here!
Countdown: Alright, if ya say so... Let us know if ya need anything, I guess.
(Countdown and Wind-Up walk away)
Wind-Up: Well, that was weird.
Countdown: You're telling me...
Master Eon: (wipes forehead) That was a close one.
Master Eon: (flipping through books again) Alright, there's gotta be a map...no...nO-
Master Eon: (tossing a book to the ground) Ah forget it! I can't find anything in this stupid library!
Master Eon: (spots Boom Bloom having a conversation with Tri-Tip and Chain Reaction)
Master Eon: Uhh, Ambush, come here and help me find something in this library.
Master Eon: Ambush? Ambush! AMBUSH GET OVER HERE BEFORE I RIP THOSE WORTHLESS FLOWERS OFF YOUR HEA-
Ambush: Alright, alright, I'm here, for Ancients sake! No need for hostilities, what is it you need Master Eon?
Master Eon: Wait... I didn't call Ambush?
Ambush: ...You did? There was no mistaking who you were calling, and here I am.
Master Eon: Hang on, you're Ambush? Then whose that?!
(Master Eon points to Boom Bloom)
Ambush: ...That's Boom Bloom, sir.
Master Eon: Let me see if I got this right, You two are both Life Skylanders, you're a knight, she's a ninja, but you're Ambush, and she's not??
Ambush: Wha- Are you jesting, Master Eon?! My fighting style focuses on suprise attacks and quick strikes, I ambush my enemies, that's my name!
Ambush: (storming off) I'm not even the same type of plant as her...
Aurora: Uncle, you of all people should know how sensitive the Skylanders get when you mix up their names...
Master Eon: How is this my fault?! Should we just rename Trolls and Chompies to "stupid green thing" and "bitey green thing"?! Would that make everyone happy??!!
Aurora: (confused) Why would we-
Master Eon: Ah, to Darkness with this!!
(Master Eon suddenly explodes himself)
Aurora:
(meanwhile)
Kaos: (stopping his illusion spell) I don't know whose been naming these Skylosers, but they're a bunch of thumb-sucking morons!
Kaos: (releasing Eon from his restraints) You're free to go, Eon. You've got enough on your plate without me interfering. I'm surprised none of them have gotten you killed yet!
Master Eon: Thank you, Kaos. It's nice to know that someone finally understands the burden I bear. Same time next week?
Kaos: Wouldn't miss it!

this midi came from a music folder in a super old archive of files, a bunch of them seem to be rips from other popular games like sonic and mega man but this seems like an original composition, i cannot trace it back to its original author or source though. please take good care of woof woof.mid
here is what the midi's data had to say about itself:
Sequence: Chain Reaction (Zoolook)

King of the Hill
Fans are very greedy. "Success" is not enough, they want "Number 1".
Folks, there can be several winners. Several groups can be at the top of the k-pop pyramid.
127's path wasn't easy (nor Dream's or WayV's for the matter). Some members spent a long time waiting to debut, others had to go through scandals, injuries, hiatuses. When the unit finally found real fame, they couldn't go on tours and had to sit back home for years. When the covid ended, the company went into feudal war. The constant gain and loss of NCT members. Long periods between unit comebacks. Fights among members.
Which long-lasting k-pop group's path was smooth though? BigBang? BTS? EXO?
There is no happiness without sadness. It's when the human struggles, he cherishes the good moments and feels fullfilled and alive. The hardships made neos individually stronger, their bond as a group more wholesome, their achievements more deserved and golden.
7,5 years is a long time, but it also close to the time (5-9 years) a commoner spends at the university just to get a degree to be able to "start a career". While neos lived their lives to the fullest instead. And achieved the dream they started to pursue when they debuted.
