Scarred For Life

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 truly kicks off the entire Scarred For Life era.

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)
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...
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!
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.
CREEPS! (1979) The game that strikes terror in the heart! Action GT's memory-based vampire-slaying board game saw players move their daggers round the board, hopefully memorising the 'deadly' spaces. First to race to the centre of the board kills the vampire and wins!
In the days of the old ITV regions, Thames television would regularly break out the delightfully spooky 'Thames After Dark' version of their ident, usually prior to shows like Armchair Thriller. Bring back spooky idents!
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!
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!
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!
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...
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 ⤵️

“The genocide we are witnessing today, is something that I recognize from my own experience as a Holocaust survivor… What is happening today in Gaza is an extreme form of repeat genocide, a holocaust in our own time, in front of our eyes.” — Stephen Kapos www.instagram.com/reels/DXEsLG...
