EVE OF THE WAR (1978), the second single from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, is an absolute banger. But the video is on another level, perfectly capturing t...

THE OWL SERVICE (1969): The deeply eerie title sequence to Granada's beautiful adaptation of Alan Garner's classic novel. One of the most mature children's dramas ever, for me it t...

FIT CHILD SEATS: A somber Jane Asher narrates this 1980s PIF about the importance of child safety seats. It's a PIF that preys on the imagination: the dummies' reactions are horribly realistic. Usually seen in the early hours, making The Hitman and Her's advert breaks a fraught experience.
I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to live somewhere like the Rainbow house or Hickory House, and co-habiting with bizarre creatures like HUMPHREY CUSHION. Imagine going to Tesco, paying your bills at the Post Office, then coming home to this...
THE MAD DEATH (1983): The BBC's brilliant and deeply disturbing drama about a rabies outbreak in Scotland. Bearing in mind that I'd cross the road everytime I saw a stray dog (just in case), The Mad Death scared me so much that I didn't make it to the final episode.
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...
TERRAHAWKS (1983) villain Zelda, and her children Cy-Star and Yung-Star, were three of the decade's most terrifying bad guys. And she could spit bars with the best of 'em. Move over Nas, Rakim, and KRS-One, here comes the Zelda rap!
The unsettling music. The detached voiceover. This 1987 clip from ITV Schools programme SCIENTIFIC EYE may just be the eeriest thing I've seen all week. 'Look Around You' has nothing on this.
THE TRIPODS (1984): BBC adaptation of John Christopher's YA novels about a future England under alien occupation. The population is 'capped' at 16, becoming thralls to the tripods, but one group of plucky teens decides to join the French resistance... Where's series 3, lads?
TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED: THE FLYPAPER (1980) Alfred Burke is absolutely terrifying in the series' greatest episode, adapted from Elizabeth Taylor's short story. Not going to spoil a thing about this one, but the ending is a real gut punch...
TERRAHAWKS (1983) was salvaged from Thunderhawks, an anime show Gerry Anderson pitched to Japan. Anderson's shows were so popular there that Terrahawks was gifted its very own anime title sequence, and it's lovely!
CORE Rules! ChimeraSHOCK! TTRPG in a world of Steam Engines, Bi-Planes, Airships, Black Powder, Super Science, Swords, and Majhic... Evolution on each world like ours doesn't happen all at once. Technology doesn't propagate at an equal rate. Cultures collide. #dnd #steampunk
More than 1,700 passengers and crew, including some Irish passengers, were ordered to remain onboard a British cruise ship in Bordeaux after a gastrointestinal illness outbreak. French authorities have ruled out any link to the recent hantavirus alert. #VMNews

@laurenwindsor.bsky.social on the hypocrisy of some conservative groups' thinking: "You have these conservatives who are like, government hands off everything. And then, they want to make all these decisions for you about... your most intimate... identity." www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXPa...

Trump called Epstein’s survivors “the victims, or whatever.” Two words. That is his eulogy for their suffering. He wants hearings buried. His name is in those files. Stay loud. Keep supporting survivors. We will get justice.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, on Victor Wembanyama’s play in Game 1: “I thought his level of physicality and execution through physicality was tremendous. His rebounding, obviously, was off the charts. ... That’s 49 big minutes, and it was high level for a majority of those.”
So maybe the question isn’t “what can we do?” It’s “who can do it—and why aren’t they?” Who you think is really holding things back? #TheyCouldBeSaviors #ClimateFiction #VisionaryFiction #FictionForChange #ReadMoreBooks

An an 18-year-old #teen #youth was #shot to #death in her home in #Baltimore on #MothersDay weekend. Violence to and by girls and women is too often de-emphasized. Still too much multifaceted violence. Officials tout homicide reductions but do not forge lasting #holistic, #integrative solutions.

ONLY SRH CAN STOP RCB THIS TIME 👀🔥 Honestly, SRH are the only team that actually look capable of beating RCB in a high-pressure playoff game. GT might be consistent, but they don’t look threatening enough against a team like RCB.

1/2 ICE are now "helping" TSA. These 2 videos are from San Francisco (SFO) Airport on 3/22/2026 Remember, ICE has a budget. TSA is part of the same agency (DHS), yet TSA agents aren't getting paid. If this was about deporting illegals, why do we have detention centers? #ProudBlue 📹: argw6/TT
Sport should be about the joy in taking part in physical activity, not about huge profits or industries which harm our health. It is disappointing, therefore, that two of the partners involved in the Commonwealth Games are Coca Cola & Jubel Beer. @shaapalcohol.bsky.social @alcoholfocus.bsky.social
