Scarred For Life

I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to live somewhere like the Rainbow house or Hickory House, and co-habiting with bizarre creatures like HUMPHREY CUSHION. Imagine going to Tesco, paying your bills at the Post Office, then coming home to this...

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...

Apparently Saturday Night Live UK did a parody of this Scarred For Life gem last night: the deeply sinister early 80s British Pork ad! Talk about a deep cut...

A clip that makes my stomach drop to my bum every time I see it: everyman daredevil John Noakes climbs to the top of Nelson's Column in a 1977 BLUE PETER episode. File under 'healt...

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...

PLAY SAFE: KITES AND PLANES (1978) Part of the infamous PIF trilogy that included Jimmy and his frisbee. This one sees a poor lad fly his kite too close to an electricity pylon, resulting in a graphic pre-watershed electrocution airing between episodes of Magpie, How, and Clapperboard.
THE GUARDIANS (1971): ITV's brilliant, morally complex dystopian drama about a near-future Britain where an authoritarian government uses a paramilitary force to supress rebellion. It didn't pull any punches...
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...
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...
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!
BUILDING SITES BITE (1978): growing up in the big city, I was never subjected to any farm-based PIFs. Instead, we had the likes of this notorious little nasty, which plays out like a British Final Destination as daft Ronald dies again and again. Don't worry viewers, it's all a daydream!
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.
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...
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!

RP• @jesscraven101 Mayor Mamdani just did the impossible. He closed NYC’s 12B budget deficit without cutting any services or raising property taxes on working New Yorkers. How did he do it? Efficiency, cooperation with Albany, and TAXING THE RICH! 🤑 👏

Moments ago, the Israeli occupation bombed the Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza while it was packed with families shopping for Eid Al-Adha. This is a developing story, and the death toll and injury count are both still rising.
