Chocky (opening titles)

January 26, 2010

Watching Chocky is one of my earliest memories as a child, which probably explains a lot. While the book is exceptional, the childrens show which grew out of it in the 80s was wondrously dark and foreboding, and featured magnificent effects.

Not the Nine O’Clock News – “Pythonists”

May 14, 2009

Pure brilliance. The cast of “Not The Nine O’Clock News” discussing the huge controversy which surrounded Monty Python’s “Life of Brian” when it was released. “Not The Nine O’Clock News” owed a lot to Monty Python however it quickly established itself as a melting pot for a whole slew of up and coming comedic writers (whole careers would be launched from this show, Douglas Adams was an early writer and the series Blackadder was formed from one of the sketches).

The Red House

May 13, 2009

Yes, this is apparently serious (although it is made by a comedy troupe). The producers make the following comment on the video’s Youtube page:

For those of you who think this video is racist, we’d like you to distinguish between “racist” and “racial”. Racism is “hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.” Racial is “of, relating to, or based on a race”
