    Mark Gatiss - History of Horror

    Just a heads up for the UK folk that don't know, Monday night 9pm BBC 4, this weeks episode is about American horror of the 60's and 70's and a certain film from '68 that's quite popular around these parts. Followed by screening DAWN at 10pm.
    I missed the first one but caught last weeks episode about Hammer films and is well worth a watch, and probably on BBC iPlayer.

    Thanks! Not seen that one
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Been a decent show so far. Unfortunately, it's far too short and will not cover many of the things it should. Gatiss seems to share a lot of my love for various horror movies. It would have been nice to have a much longer series on this this. It's been very entertaining.

    It's easy to see where the 'League of Gentlemen' got a lot of their ideas from.

    Just seen the last episode, great end to the series and nice to see uncle George get top billing.
    Also good to see Martin get a mention too.

    Actually sat through DotD after I finished wathing the last episode of Gatiss' show. It was 2h and 20+ mins long. Seemed uncut to me. It also seemed to have difference music in places too, byut I may be imagining that.

    All in all, kudos to BBC4 for showing it uncut. I remember seeing it for the first time, years ago and the film was cut to ribbons. It was remarkable how much was cut out of it in the late 80's/early 90's.
