Sixty years ago today, on the evening of 9 September 1966, ABC viewers in America tuning in to a new hour-long adventure series would have watched two young scientists tumble, quite literally, onto the deck of a doomed ocean liner. The Time Tunnel had arrived. It would last barely seven months on the air, a single season of thirty episodes, and yet six decades on it remains fondly, stubbornly remembered by… me.

Batman the Movie premiered at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas on July 30, 1966 (between the first and second seasons of the TV series). Here in the UK, Batman the Movie was released on 16th December 1966. I’m not entirely sure when the film reached the Fourways Cinema, our local picture house (or "The Pictures," as we called it), but I do recall queuing outside with my grandparents and gazing up at the poster promoting Batman's big-screen outing.

Wishing a very happy 95th birthday to Robert Colbert, alias Dr Doug Phillips in The Time Tunnel. Most people who know me are well aware of how close The Time Tunnel is to my heart. It captured my imagination when I first saw it on the BBC back in 1968, and I’ve remained a devoted fan ever since—practically a one-man appreciation society.

Suddenly, a young woman dressed as Supergirl rushes past the queue, shouting something along the lines of, "Oh no! Averting that asteroid has made me late for the screening!" (Those might not have been her exact words.

Several decades ago, in the 1990s, a friend in the States sent me a badge. Well, here in the UK we'd call it a badge; in the States, it's a button or a pin. As you can see from the image above, the badge is a promotional item intended to publicise Land of the Giants back in the 1960s. My friend spotted the badge (pin, button, whatever) on top of a pile of other badges at a yard sale and immediately thought of me.

“ARE NUMBER SIX AND JOHN DRAKE THE SAME MAN?” Of all the frequently asked questions regarding The Prisoner, this is the most contentious. Patrick McGoohan, creator of the series and the man who played both characters, said no — but some fans refuse to believe him. Let’s look at the case for and against. WHY DID YOU RESIGN? By 1966, Patrick McGoohan was reportedly the highest-paid actor on British television, and his hit series…
