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 Real children have been replaced by these horrors...
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)
Battle of the Planets was the edited American version of seminal anime Gatchaman (1972). Shown in the UK in school holidays, episodes were cut for violence or skipped altogether, as I suspect ep. 25 was: 'The Magma Giant, Emperor of Hell', featuring a lava kaiju bearing the face of Jesus Christ!
Animated French series ONCE UPON A TIME... MAN (1978) spanned the entire history of humankind. The final episode sees humanity wipe itself out in a nuclear war in the year 2060 (don't worry, we survive, thanks to moon colonists!)
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.
Before pop videos were a Proper Thing, a 1973 episode of Top of the Pops illustrated Barry White's 'Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up' via this startling video, which feels like an avant-garde student film. I don't think it could capture the mood of the song less, but I love it!
