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!

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!

DOOR CHAIN (1976): A PIF which dares to ask the question, 'did Aunt Annie or a Rasputin-looking axeman politely ring your doorbell?' This one was in rotation for so long that, for me, it's forever entwined with ITV Night Time shows of the late 80s and early 90s!

Z.P.G. ZERO POPULATION GROWTH (1972): Directed by Michael Campus and starring Ollie Reed, this dystopian sci-fi depicts a world so overpopulated that the act of giving birth is punishable by death. Real children have been replaced by these horrors...

H.R. Giger finally got to use his astonishing design for Baron Harkonnen's castle (from Alejandro Jodorowsky's cancelled Dune film) in this 1985 ad for Pioneer. Cor, what we could have had...

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.

SEWING MACHINE (1973): A startling PIF, directed by the master of the form, John Krish, featuring the final minute of a little girl's life. It generated a flood of complaints; not because of the horrific elements, but because it featured a black child. That's more shocking than anything in the film.

A massive fire broke out in eastern Moscow. "A fire train has been dispatched to assist in extinguishing the fire in the vicinity of Amurskaya Street in Moscow. Its payload includes 160 tons of water and 3.5 tons of foam concentrate," the Department of Housing and Utilities reported. 😰

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.
