LOOK AND READ - THROUGH THE DRAGON'S EYE (1989): Classic story from the BBC's literacy programme for young children. The villainous Charn, aka The Evil One, played by David 'Sapphire and Steel' Collings, managed to scare the living stink out of the little 'uns.

Ever wondered what a Soul's Ark is? Well you won't find out by listening to this commentary, nor from watching the film, but perhaps the Soul's Ark is just the friends you make along the way? Or vampires. Ghosts? Look, don't ask me

There was talk a while back of the best 'theme drops' in the Halloween series. For me, Halloween 4 takes it hands down. The first 20-odd minutes of this film have an atmosphere that is so thick and delicious you could slather it on toast

If you didn't think Colin's Doctor's TV debut served him well, in 86 we got a colour edition of his first comic, with a scifi-noir asthetic that somehow suited the costume. And a wry 🐧. Meanwhile Harry Sullivan is ironing his Bond chord and ready for action, old girl... youtube.com/shorts/v-g9w...
