NATURAL BORN SMOKER (1985) Director Barry Myers went all-out on this Blade Runner-inspired PIF about a future smoker genetically mutated by their addiction. 90s anti-smoking PIFs would adopt a more caring approach than this horror show...

PLAY FOR TODAY: Z FOR ZACHARIAH (1984) Adapted from Robert C. O'Brien's novel, and starring Pippa Hinchley and Anthony Andrews. One year after a nuclear war, a young girl in the Welsh valleys finds her farm invaded by the sinister John Loomis, a man dying of radiation poisoning...
Staying up late to watch horror films of a weekend was always a joy when I was a kid. This scene from SOMETHING EVIL, a 1972 'demonic possession' TV movie directed by Steven Spielberg, scared the living stink out of me when I was 8 or 9, and it stayed with me for decades.
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...
STAR MAIDENS (1976): British-German 'battle of the sexes' disco sci-fi series starring Judy Geeson and Gareth Thomas. On Medusa, a planet ruled by women, two men escape to Earth... The German producers were making a sex comedy, while the Brits wanted serious sci-fi. The result is a glorious mess!
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!
RIP the great Micheal Keating. The heart and soul of Blake's 7, he played cowardly con-man Vila Restal (my favourite character) with a beautifully world-weary charm, and perfect comic timing. He and Paul Darrow's Avon made one of the all-time great double acts.
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!
A clip that makes my stomach drop to my bum every time I see it: everyman daredevil John Noakes climbs to the top of Nelson's Column in a 1977 BLUE PETER episode. File under 'health and safety gone mad!'. Pity the poor cameramen too...
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!
Animated French series ONCE UPON A TIME... MAN (1978) spanned the entire history of humankind. The final episode sees humanity wipe itself out in a nuclear war in the year 2060 (don't worry, we survive, thanks to moon colonists!)

Hell yeah. My game has a silent protagonist, so all their characterization has to come from other characters and narration. And you get to invent lots of little characters with fun little stories that live in your head!

Moments ago, the Israeli occupation bombed the Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza while it was packed with families shopping for Eid Al-Adha. This is a developing story, and the death toll and injury count are both still rising.

Before someone says to “turn down the rhetoric,” show them this. Trump spent years calling people “vermin,” “garbage,” “enemy from within,” “communists,” “Marxists,” and “radical left thugs.”
#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
