GRANGE HILL: "Slip on the wet floor, did you?" Phil Redmond's hard-hitting school drama didn't pull its punches. In a 'they did things differently back then' scene from 1981, hard but fair P.E. teacher 'Bullet' Baxter doles out justice to a colleague who's been bullying kids.

STAR MAIDENS (1976): British-German 'battle of the sexes' disco sci-fi starring Judy Geeson and Gareth Thomas. On Medusa, a planet ruled by women, two men escape to Earth... The German producers were making a sex comedy, while the Brits wanted serious sci-fi. A glorious mess!

RIP the great Micheal Keating. The heart and soul of Blake's 7, he played cowardly con-man Vila Restal (my favourite character) with a beautifully world-weary charm, and perfect comic timing. He and Paul Darrow's Avon made one of the all-time great double acts.

EVE OF THE WAR (1978), the second single from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, is an absolute banger. But the video is on another level, perfectly capturing the terrifying mood of the album artwork. I've been saying this for decades: make a film of this!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's (1968) creepy CHILD CATCHER (an unforgettable performance by Robert Helpmann) doesn't appear in Ian Fleming's original novel, and was created by either scriptwriter Roald Dahl or director Ken Hughes, depending on who you believe. A horrifying concept.

SESAME STREET: LIMBO (early 70s) Also known as 'Nobody', this Jim Henson creation consisted of two eyes and a mouth made of string, with a voice provided by New York DJ 'Rosko' Mercer. One of my earliest TV memories, Limbo scared the pants off me when I was 3 or 4.

It's Sunday afternoon - time for Worzel Gummidge! How about THE CROWMAN (1979), an episode which saw Worzel don his infamous Handsome Head and propose to a female scarecrow, who proceeds to beat him with a broom and dismember him. Folk horror fun for all the family!

THE BLACK HOLE (1979) kickstarted Disney's 'Dark Phase' with beautiful spaceships, cool robots, Anthony Perkins getting shredded, and an existential nightmare of an ending in which the good guys go to heaven and the bad guys go to hell. I adore it.

Scarred For Life Hall of Famer HARTLEY HARE, operated and voiced by the great Nigel Plaskitt, was the undoubted star of ITV kid's show Pipkins (1973). He was vain, arrogant, conceited, and looked like he'd had a brush with myxomatosis. I adore him.
