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?

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...

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...
Before pop videos were a Proper Thing, a 1973 episode of Top of the Pops illustrated Barry White's 'Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up' via this startling video, which feels like an avant-garde student film. I don't think it could capture the mood of the song less, but I love it!
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.
Enjoy this montage of televisual nuclear anxiety from the 1980s, soundtracked by The Dubliners' protest song 'Protect and Survive'. Special guest appearance by the Patron Saint of Nuclear War at the end, there. "'Ad it, inya?"
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!
As if to prove the adage that everything in the 1970s was designed to scare kids, the title sequence to ITV Schools show THE MIGHTY MICRO (1979) is an anxiety-inducing trip through humankind's technological achievements, up to and beyond the atomic bomb. You may now open your copy books.
TIDY UP AT NIGHT (1969): There's a lovely Terrytoons aesthetic throughout this PIF from a bygone era. It jolts me to think that most of these things would have applied to our house when I was a kid. God, I'm old. See how much of this Adult Bod's bedtime routine applies to you...
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...
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!

At a StarTalk event long ago @neildegrassetyson.com said this as I sang my song Liberated Carbon with @drfunkyspoon.bsky.social: “50 years ago your counterparts were singing about Vietnam. Now we need a folk-song movement about carbon. It starts here!... Putting science in the rhyme.” Higher rez ⤵️

April Wilkens has spent 27 years behind bars for killing her ex-fiancé — after years of abuse, stalking and calls to the police that went nowhere. Her story underscores a legal experiment in Oklahoma, where a new law called the Oklahoma Survivors’ Act offers prisoners like her a chance at freedom.

“WE’LL BE BACK TO $3 GAS BY THE END OF 2026 OR 2027.” Then the economist says: “Not until 2032.” That disconnect is exactly why so many people feel financially exhausted right now. People are trying to plan their lives while experts, economists, politicians, and systems keep moving the goalposts.
