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...

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 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.
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!
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...

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 Real children have been replaced by these horrors...
A moment of madness from children's eco-folk horror serial RAVEN (1977), written by Children of the Stones' Trevor Ray and Jeremy Burnham. Phil Daniels plays a borstal boy (and reincarnation of King Arthur) who fights to stop nuclear waste being dumped on the site of an ancient cave system...
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.
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.
The Epstein files reveal an unexpected connection to Côte d'Ivoire's political elite. New documents show hundreds of emails exchanged between Jeffrey Epstein and Nina Keita, niece of President Ouattara and a senior official in the Ivorian government’s oil sector.

“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...
