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

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...

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 'health and safety gone mad!'. Pity the poor cameramen too...

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?"

H.R. Giger finally got to use his astonishing design for Baron Harkonnen's castle (from Alejandro Jodorowsky's cancelled Dune film) in this 1985 ad for Pioneer. Cor, what we could have had...

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!

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!

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.

The unsettling music. The detached voiceover. This 1987 clip from ITV Schools programme SCIENTIFIC EYE may just be the eeriest thing I've seen all week. 'Look Around You' has nothing on this.

My new Patreon launches on Wednesday June 3! Apart from brand new SFL essays, you'll be getting Show and Tell videos and this: The Scarred For Life Bunker Show, a radio show transmitting into the wastelands with chat, music and clips. Here's a peek at ep 1, where I talk about my earliest scars...

Wenn CDU & SPD sich noch auf eines einigen können, dann darauf, den #Klimaschutz zu schreddern. Mit den neuen Regeln für Heizungen geben CDU & SPD die #Klimaziele einfach auf. Folgen: Mehr fossile Abhängigkeit, höhere Kosten für MieterInnen. Verantwortungslos & sozial ungerecht.

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.

interesting to hear him say that because that’s how I feel about those criminals from January 6: the pardon was their gift. Why do they have their hand out again, and how many of them are either reincarcerated or dead now because they’re habitual criminals? There’s a reason they gravitate to Trump

Trump just confused Iran for Venezuela. Venezuela still has a navy, an Air Force and intact leadership. The U.S. only removed Maduro. Trump was describing Iran but he called it Venezuela.
