Tunnel Vision
Episode 8 of 10: Richard Barnett – Part Two.
This week, in part two of Tunnel Vision’s exploration of London as disease, we join Cambridge historian Richard Barnett, where we left him last week, knee deep in the silt which lines the bottom of the tunnels.
After a historical analysis of a piece of pottery found in the filth, Richard continues his journey from choleraâs devastating beginnings to Bazzalgette’s creation of the cities sanitation system.
Tunnel Vision is a ten part series which sees Bruno Rinvolucri dupe a collection of writers, musicians, activists and academics into wading knee deep through the swollen rivers of sewage and miles of forgotten sewers that stretch beneath London’s surface. Safely esconced in the London’s effluvia, Tunnel Vision’s troglodytes explore this hidden and somewhat mysterious subterranenan environment sonically and historically. Leading us on a narrative of fact, fiction, anthropology, architecture, activism, music and sound.

Hooting Yard: Curtains For Blavelpang
Plump, crumpled, costive gumshoe Smedley Blavelpang was in a proper fix. It was the sort of fix private detectives tend to find themselves in. The wind had blown his hat clean away and his gun was jammed and he was trapped behind some bins in an alleyway and the rough tough thug he had been pursuing was closing in on him armed with an unjammed gun full of bullets. It looked like curtains for Blavelpang.

Tunnel Vision
Episode 7 of 10: Richard Barnett – Part 1.
For the next two weeks, the series will be devoted to London ’s diseases. Cambridge historian, Richard Barnett, takes a trip through the sewers to examine the devastating effects of cholera, and its revolutionary effects on cleanliness, while pausing every so often to negotiate a rapid, drag a wellie out of a pile of rotting mud or, in part 2, analyse a fragment of pottery found in the silt.
This week, Richard takes us from the swamp land on which London was built, to the first cases of cholera, a disease which, in Richard’s words, saw its victims fitting themselves to death in their own excrement.

Extracts from Britten and Brulightly by Hannah Berry plus Fried Egg and Cherry Cake by Sally-Anne Hickman
Concluding ‘women in comics month’ on the show, Alex Fitch talks to a couple of illustrators about their genre bending work. Hannah Berry‘s debut graphic novel Britten and Brülightly tells the tale of a harried private detective with the nickname of ‘The Heartbreaker’ whose final case sees his career catch up with him, in a terrific comic book that combines the tenets of noir with gentle surrealism – his confidant is his pet teabag, Stewart – and assured cinematic visuals. Sally-Anne Hickman is a self-published comic book artist and writer whose work ranges from affectionate parodies of pop culture icons such as Spider-man and the Powerpuff Girls to intricate diary comics that give an intimate portrayal of the self-publishing world, packaged as collectible items with textured covers that incorporate fur, metallic sparkle and googly puppet eyes.
