In the days of the old ITV regions, Thames television would regularly break out the delightfully spooky 'Thames After Dark' version of their ident, usually prior to shows like Armchair Thriller. Bring back spooky idents!

Apparently Saturday Night Live UK did a parody of this Scarred For Life gem last night: the deeply sinister early 80s British Pork ad! Talk about a deep cut...

GRANGE HILL: "Slip on the wet floor, did you?" Phil Redmond's hard-hitting school drama didn't pull its punches. In a 'they did things differently back then' scene from 1981, hard but fair P.E. teacher 'Bullet' Baxter doles out justice to a colleague who's been bullying kids.

Calling Mr Vein! KING OF THE CASTLE (1977), part of HTV's Unholy Trinity of scary kid's shows, along with Children of the Stones and Sky, fused Alice in Wonderland with Kafka. A troubled teen is knocked out in a lift accident and wakes up in a nightmare world populated by his anxieties...

Unlike the happy, roller-skating, all-American feel-good adverts for Pepsi and Coke, quintessential 80s soft drink QUATRO (1982) went for a dark, grungy, machine-smashing cyberpunk aesthetic, courtesy Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton (Max Headroom, the Accidents Will Happen video)

THE GUARDIANS (1971): ITV's brilliant, morally complex dystopian drama about a near-future Britain where an authoritarian government uses a paramilitary force to supress rebellion. It didn't pull any punches...

The second series of brilliant kids' supernatural anthology SHADOWS (1976) had one of the spookiest title sequences ever. It still blows my mind that Toast of Tinseltown did a direct homage for its titles. Talk about a deep cut. Knows his stuff, does Matt Berry!

CREEPS! (1979) The game that strikes terror in the heart! Action GT's memory-based vampire-slaying board game saw players move their daggers round the board, hopefully memorising the 'deadly' spaces. First to race to the centre of the board kills the vampire and wins!

The Two Ronnies 1987 Christmas Special ended in fine style with PINOCCHIO II: KILLER DOLL, a horror film parody played for laughs, but which gave younger viewers nightmares. The Ronnies had form for dark comedies: Teeny Todd and the Phantom Raspberry Blower were horrifying!

The differences between SCIENCE NINJA TEAM GATCHAMAN (1972) and its child-friendly American version, BATTLE OF THE PLANETS (1978) are stark indeed. In this Gatchman scene, missing from BotP, team leader Ken gives a bad guy a good hiding. I counted eighteen punches. Eighteen!

RP• @jesscraven101 Mayor Mamdani just did the impossible. He closed NYC’s 12B budget deficit without cutting any services or raising property taxes on working New Yorkers. How did he do it? Efficiency, cooperation with Albany, and TAXING THE RICH! 🤑 👏

Dr Oz targeted an #Armenian neighborhood in #VanNuys with baseless accusations and small businesses in that area told me they are feeling the hit. Don’t let those who spread hate win and divide us!

Affordability is a scam?! Please. Prices aren’t magically dropping — that’s not how inflation works, and Trump knows it. Real affordability means higher wages so families can survive higher prices. That’s the part The Nodfather refuses to say out loud. #WeCantAffordTrump

Thank you, Ann! We must break through the propaganda: AIPAC shouldn’t be conflated with Jewish people or Judaism. Many AIPAC donors are Christian nationalists who support war in the Middle East. Let’s keep working together to fight antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, and protect human lives.

Majority‑Black States: Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina would flip to majority‑Black, reshaping congressional representation and national politics.

Trump’s post on Rob Reiner and his wife Michele wasn’t only despicable.it was so politically poisonous it raises a question: What’s going on with Trump? Is he so drunk on his own power he can’t control himself? Or is he losing it?

Trump just confused Iran for Venezuela. Venezuela still has a navy, an Air Force and intact leadership. The U.S. only removed Maduro. Trump was describing Iran but he called it Venezuela.

On the homeless & housing situation in Queensland, Premier David Crisafulli's focus is on first home buyers. He claims his social housing delivery is 3 times the rate of the past 10yrs. Then it's back to the old "supply" talking points for the buyers. #qldpol

The Trump Administration is using ICE and Border Patrol funding to target DACA recipients, despite their protected status, and intimidate immigrant communities. Now, Republican leaders are pushing to give Trump even more funding for this cruel and un-American agenda.
