We got Threads in the UK in 84. Now that was bleak… it was set in fucking Sheffield.

Project A and Zu were huge movies for me in the early 90's, and I think both were introduced to me by Jonathan Ross' The Incredibly Strange Fillm Show.

I do think expectations need to be tempered. It's good but not great.

UK TV in 83 was all about the three B's.

Kissing with Confidence was a pretty big hit from what I remember, bit of an 80's one hit wonder pop classic for me. Never knew there was a concept album type thing behind it all. 

Star Fleet and Terrahawks were fried gold to 10 year old me. Just reading the title has given me a fucking ear worm… Send a message out across the sky. Alien raiders just past Gemini… Who will come and save us now? Who can defend us from the power? Star Fleet!

Only on HBO.

Madness isn't it. It's like they expect you to believe that Kate Moss wrote that best selling Labyrinth book.

get it on, bang a gong…

They better cast Idris Elba as Rachael.

Yow car be scary an spake Brummie.

An entire generation has grown up watching Discovery Channel, learning
about science and biology and physics, and that generation trusts Discovery Channel.

You can't be Ford Prefect and Dr Who… That's just greedy.

Now that's a great call.

Our Friends In The North was a big deal over here, he was the "name" in that over Daniel Craig and Mark Strong .
Let Him Have It got a lot of attention too. Compared to Tennant and Smith he was a household name.

I'm sure Vincenzo Natali was developing a version a couple of years ago.

Needs more Trenchard-Smith social commentary.

All part of healthy British 70's TV upbringing.
Jeeping fuck it's amazing my generation aren't armed shut ins.
Mr Noseybonk, Sapphire & Steel, Doctor Who, Worzel Gummidge, The Tomorrows People, Children of the Stones…

Saw two documentaries over the weekend which would make a brilliant double bill; Being Elmo and Beware Mr Baker two very different characters whose personalities shine through in their art.

It's that disconnect between incredible graphic violence being shown but no one in Walking Dead saying "Jeeping fuck a zombie is eating the fuck out of my leg"
