Presenting my TV Week article scans for The Newsreader’s Season Three! ❤️📰🌟

.

.

Part of the fun of loving The Newsreader for me has been immersing myself in the print media that the show has appeared in. During the airtimes of Season Two and Three, it became a ritual for me to find a local newsagents every Monday, locate the week’s TV Week magazine and bring it home to add to my Newsreader memory/archive box. The act of doing this helped foster a slow paced and even slightly old fashioned start to my weeks - having to wait a week to be surprised with a magazine spread! I’ll dearly miss doing this.

Of course, I love to share these TV Week articles with you all as they’re pretty groovy. It’s fun seeing the layout of photos and even unit stills that have not been shared elsewhere! I fight with my home printer and scanner to scan each individual page, and bring each side together into double spreads.

During S2 I shared these weekly, so I do apologise for taking a long time to share these S3 articles this time around. As many of you would know, I had my own personal S3 stories to tell, and that took top priority! 😉 On that topic, it was such a surreal experience buying the issue for S03E05, given that Mum and I were in that episode. That particular article feels very close to home for me 💖

At long last, here are your Season Three TV Week spreads! Better later than never, I say! I was really pleased with these ones; they did a fantastic job at highlighting all the various perspectives and people of the show, and I especially loved the exclusive interviews we got with Anna Torv, Philippa Northeast and Michelle Lim Davidson. I will upload Anna’s another day, however I have included Michelle and Philippa’s as they were attached to the double spreads.

At a later date, I will take the time to properly review and critique each article, but it was high time that I shared the articles with you all; I had taken long enough to do so, after all. I’ve got to share The Newsreader love around!

Issue Dates:

S03E01: 1st - 7th February 2025

S03E02: 8th - 14th February 2025

S03E03: 15th - 21st February 2025

David Briggs helmed a lot of successes as we have all noticed, though he also had some musicians that could have been among the greatest of their scenes. Kathi McDonald was another case of that. She should've had a better career, I mean, she replaced Janis Joplin in the band the latter fronted. Then again, she was constantly compared to her, which probably didn't do her many favours. For instance, Insane Asylum, her debut, sounds great, but I can understand why she was delegated to the session work. She's incredible, yet the similarity to Joplin – seriously, her voice is so much like Joplin's one find that uncanny – might have done her more harm than good. Sadly, I might add, Insane Asylum shows her to be a ferociously good singer.

I was always interested in finding out what have happens on the photo. What gave them the idea of depict Paul's funeral: why the funeral, why Paul? Well…I have an answer, I suppose

More legendary than most, however, were a band briefly signed to Brian, the Big Three. Other musicians on the scene seemed to regard this band with awe. They were the original power trio, real sonic bruisers who’d built themselves the biggest amplifiers - nicknamed Coffins - that anyone had ever seen.

(Liverpool - Wondrous Place by Paul Du Noyer, 2002)

Epstein made his way to the Cavern club to see the group perform at a lunchtime session on November 9th. He wrote later that he had never seen anything like The Beatles on any stage. <…> "I loved their ad libs and I was fascinated by this, to me, new music with its pounding bass beat and its vast, engulfing sound." <…> The "pounding" bass that Epstein described was due in part to a new addition to The Beatles' equipment line-up. In the early 1960s there was really no such thing as a proper bass amplifier. Most bass players would use the most powerful guitar amplifier that they could get their hands on. But these were not designed for bass guitar, and did not provide the deep, throbbing bass tones that bass guitarists wanted. As The Beatles evolved their sound and Best perfected his "atomic beat" the group were searching for a stronger and more solid bass sound.

The band considered by many to be the loudest and most aggressive in Liverpool was The Big Three. They bad started out as Cass & The Cassanovas, a four-piece until leader and frontman Brian Casser left during the beginning of 1961. The remaining members stayed together to form The Big Three: Johnny Gustafson on bass, guitarist Adrian Barber, and Liverpool's loudest drummer, Johnny Hutchinson, on the skins.

Barber says that when they became a trio there was an instant problem: he and Gustafson weren't loud enough to project over Hutchinson's drumming. Even the relatively punchy Selmer Truvoice amp was not enough. Barber, however, had an interest in electronics from his days in the merchant navy. <…> Barber went out and bought a book about loudspeakers produced by G A Briggs, who owned the British Wharfedale speaker company, and inside he found construction details for various sizes of cabinets. "I decided on one, and Denis Kealing said he could get me a 15-inch speaker," recalls Barber. "I built a set-up for the bass guitar and for the vocal, in a cabinet about five feet tall by about 18 inches square. <…> I used that and mounted it in a metal ammunitions case, so we could carry it around without killing it. Johnny Gustafson used it as his bass amp, and it was very successful. "When we carried it we bad to lower it on its side, because it was long and skinny. The first time we took it down to the Cavern, we struggled down the tiny stairs there. As we carried this black-painted thing across the room it looked just like a coffin - and that's how it got its name: the Coffin. Now, the Cavern was the underground basement of a warehouse, with three vaulted brick-built archways. Over the years water had seeped down and brought calcium deposits with it, which had settled in the ceiling bricks. So when Johnny plucked that first bass note it was like a shower of snow corning down. People went, 'Wow look at that … and listen to that.' So we were really impressed, and I got ambitious at that point." <…> Other bands began to notice the relative sophistication of The Big Three's amplification, especially the bass gear. "Liverpool wasn't a competitive scene, before it got commercial," explains Barber. '"All the bands co-operated with one another and backed each other up. It was a cool scene, and I started to build these things for other people. Paul McCartney asked me to make him a Coffin. It had a single 15-inch speaker in a reflex-ported cabinet, with two chrome handles and wheels on the side."

McCartney started to use a Barber Coffin speaker cabinet during the late part of 1961. <…> McCartney himself recalls, "Adrian made me a great bass amp that he called the Coffin. And, man! Suddenly that was a total other world. That was bass as we know it now. It was like reggae bass: it was just too right there. It was great live." Pete Best too remembers the Coffin. "Neil Aspinall and I used to carry it. Every couple of shows there'd be a flight of stairs which you had to carry this thing up, and it was then we'd wonder why he couldn't have got something smaller. We'd have sweat streaming off us. But the beauty of it was, with all the laughing and joking aside, it did produce a great sound. The first time Paul plugged it in and used it, we just said my god, this is incredible. It added to The Beatles sound."

So, I guess, Paul is lying on his bass amp that they called the Coffin - and it's the reason of the pantomime on the photo.
