Scarred For Life
@scarredforlife
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!

TERRAHAWKS (1983) villain Zelda, and her children Cy-Star and Yung-Star, were three of the decade's most terrifying bad guys. And she could spit bars with the best of 'em. Move over Nas, Rakim, and KRS-One, here comes the Zelda rap!
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.
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...
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.
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!
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?"
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!
ROBBIE (1979): a replacement for the graphic and extremely controversial 'The Finishing Line', this PIF, about a boy whose feet are amputated after an encounter on train tracks, had quite the ending! Talk about a constant reminder...
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...
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

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.
