Scarred For Life

STARTING OUT (1986): I've a real soft spot for gritty Schools and Colleges dramas, and series 5 of this long-running ITV show featured domestic abuse, rape, glue-sniffing, racism and police harassment (and most of those are in the title sequence!). Oh, and a porn mag at the start! For kids, etc etc

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...

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 co...

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 t...

OMNI (1978): "The world's first major magazine of science fact, fiction, and fantasy" captivated me when I was 8. I didn't understand 90% of it, but I loved its silver pages, the UFO Update column, and most of all, the eye-melting artwork. Bring back magazines that look like this!
KEEP FLEXES OUT OF REACH (late 80s): A real late-night horror, usually aired during the ITV Night Time strand well into the 90s. Part of its audience would have been students and ravers coming home from a night spent off their heads, so god knows what effect that last shot had on them.
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...
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!
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.
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!
Following in the footsteps of Watership Down and The Plague Dogs, THE ANIMALS OF FARTHING WOOD (1993) traumatised a generation of children. A grand tally of 20-odd onscreen deaths included baby mice impaled on a tree. At 4.30 in the afternoon, kids!
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?"
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...
THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK (1972): Docudrama horror about the 'Fouke Monster' sighted in Arkansas, and tying into the Bigfoot-mania of the 1970s. Stern voiceovers abound!

Trump’s post on Rob Reiner and his wife Michele wasn’t only despicable.it was so politically poisonous it raises a question: What’s going on with Trump? Is he so drunk on his own power he can’t control himself? Or is he losing it?

Just noticed this unique PnR coverage from Dyson Daniels/Atlanta: Hedge & Under - allows on-ball defender to stay matched up w/ ball-handler (no switch) - contains attacking guards - takes away the short-roll - avoids two on the ball - creates shorter rotation for third defender
This woman is surprisingly surprised that her navigation system isn’t working because of electronic warfare near the Kremlin! 🤣
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.”

Sport should be about the joy in taking part in physical activity, not about huge profits or industries which harm our health. It is disappointing, therefore, that two of the partners involved in the Commonwealth Games are Coca Cola & Jubel Beer. @shaapalcohol.bsky.social @alcoholfocus.bsky.social
