#OnThisDay 24 October 1979 The first episode of TERRY AND JUNE was broadcast on BBC1. Just six months since the end of their last sitcom together, Happy Every After, #TerryScott and #JuneWhitfield are reunited for more domestic shenanigans. 65 episodes were made across 9 series.

THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC (1928) is almost a century old, yet this scene still feels timeless. Carl Theodor Dreyer created something that transcends its era, proving some images never lose their power.
What’s a movie scene where every technical element, from the cinematography and editing to the sound design, score and direction, came together so perfectly that it felt like pure filmmaking magic?

LOOK AND READ: DARK TOWERS (1981) The BBC's famous literacy strand for primary school kids threw up the occasional scary serial, and this classic - written by Andrew 'House of Cards' Davies - gave kids the heebie-jeebies. With songs by Derek Griffiths, too!

ULYSSES 31: THE KINGDOM OF HADES (1981): French/Japanese/Luxembourgian sci-fi version of The Odyssey. Despite being a CCBC Broom Cupboard-era fave with a singalong theme song, it had a fair few dark, scary moments...

Clash of the Titans was pure movie magic. Medusa, the Kraken, Pegasus, and special effects that somehow felt more real than today's CGI. If you saw this as a kid, you never forgot it.

Tonight’s Moviedrome was a French affair. Diva (1981), a thriller ‘cinema du look’ (a mix of noir, opera & post-punk cool) had much to enjoy. Bravo @MadBasil pour avoir for another cult classic at Scarborough’s SJT - a monthly screening of quality cinema that never disappoints.
