Beeb 4. All the good programming that used to be on BBC2.

Dystopias. Ahhh... Give me the future: the dark future. You can keep your flying cars and silver jumps suits. Give me railguns, biotech and a sky the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel. :)

Neverwhere. That was a quality (if short) series.

Neil Gaiman is one of my fave authors. If Good Omens ever makes it to the TV/Movie Theatres I'll be in heaven.

(Unless they ruin it.) :-)

Not that my friends are obsessive or anything, but if I were in a coffee bar with my friends and Peter Capaldi, one particular friend would jump up and down and fidget like she needed the loo, and squeak "Oh my God! Its the Angel Islington!"

At some point in the 70's, I think it might have been the time Katy Manning left Doctor Who, the yellow jumpsuit became a British sci-fi staple.

It first reared its head in "Space: 1999"; the show where each week you were treated to the sight of a grown man screaming hysterically, then expanded into shows such as "Moonbase 3", "Star Maidens" (fashion for men), "Quatermass" (the one with John Mills), "Survivors", "Day of the Triffids", "Blake's 7" and "Star Cops" and finally HTV's "Knights of God" before dying a death...along with all other British sci-fi drama for the next 10-15 years. Personally, I blame Judith Hann.

Even I was scared!

Damn I feel old...it was the film that scared the sh*t out of me. I distinctly remember watching it one Saturday night while building a plastic tree for my train layout. Tragic is the word thay springs to mind.

Peter Capaldi, he of the Crow Road. BBC's splendid adaptation of Iain Bank's fantastic novel.
He played Uncle Rory I do believe.

Magic stuff.
