M*A*S*H: GOODBYE, FAREWELL AND AMEN (1983) The final episode of an incredible series which gradually transformed from black comedy to comedy drama. The enemy is near to Hawkeye's bus, but a Korean woman's squawking chicken might give them away. His PTSD is covering the truth, however...

It's Sunday afternoon - time for Worzel Gummidge! How about THE CROWMAN (1979), an episode which saw Worzel don his infamous Handsome Head and propose to a female scarecrow, who proceeds to beat him with a broom and dismember him. Folk horror fun for all the family!
BUILDING SITES BITE (1978): growing up in the big city, I was never subjected to any farm-based PIFs. Instead, we had the likes of this notorious little nasty, which plays out like a British Final Destination as daft Ronald dies again and again. Don't worry viewers, it's all a daydream!
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)

SESAME STREET: LIMBO (early 70s) Also known as 'Nobody', this Jim Henson creation consisted of two eyes and a mouth made of string, with a voice provided by New York DJ 'Rosko' Mercer. One of my earliest TV memories, Limbo scared the pants off me when I was 3 or 4.
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!
SURVIVORS (1975): Terry 'Daleks' Nation's classic drama about a plague that wipes out most of humanity, and the lengths the rest must go to to restore civilisation. The first series is dark and bleak, but after Nation leaves it's a bit like The Good Life with added starvation, death, and rabies.
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 ENCHANTED CASTLE (1979): BBC adaptation of Edith Nesbit's book about a group of kids who find a wishing ring at a country estate. The 'Uggly-Wugglies', a scarecrow-like dummy audience for one of their home play performances, are accidentally wished into life, with alarming results...

How about bath bombs that *actually explode*? Round black orbs with a fuse and everything, and a big warning label: DO NOT USE THIS BATH BOMB! IT IS A REAL BOMB! See who uses it anyway. Just to, I dunno, soap out the bathtub AND the gene pool at the same time...

Just noticed this unique PnR coverage from Dyson Daniels/Atlanta: Hedge & Under - allows on-ball defender to stay matched up w/ ball-handler (no switch) - contains attacking guards - takes away the short-roll - avoids two on the ball - creates shorter rotation for third defender
#TimKeller's ministry modeled a form of Christian engagement that felt like it was *for* the city. But in today's world, the “winsome” approach is increasingly seen as naive, and cultural engagement has given way to culture war rhetoric. Listen now: linktr.ee/savedbythecity
