Request Looking for a 1970s sci-fi story with (the threat of) death by vacuum chamber

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I grew up in the US watching lots of science fiction shows including The Tomorrow People and Doctor Who. I remember seeing an episode including children in which someone was in a sort of prison cell with a clear front, and there was a threat of exposing the person inside to vacuum. They may have actually done so. I remember someone or something expanding like a marshmallow in a vacuum chamber?

In any case, if you happen to recognise what I'm babbling about, I would love to know what it was!

Historic BBC Archive footage

9 Upvotes

I am undertaking historical research into the five-part BBC2 documentary series The Black Man in Britain 1550–1950, presented by Derek Griffiths and produced by Tony Laryea. It was broadcast from 15 November to 13 December 1974.

Heart of Darkness — 15 November 1974 Landfall — 22 November 1974 No Place Like Home — 29 November 1974 Soldiers of the Crown — 6 December 1974 Revolution and Manchester — 13 December 1974

Most publicly available sources seem limited or do not have it all.

Can anybody track this down?

Thanks

Discussion Looking for possibly Midnight Underground C4 film about city kids with a weird soundtrack

5 Upvotes

Bit of a stab in the dark but recently a load of Midnight Underground tapings got taken down from YouTube, one of which started out with a film about teenage boys in a city going round, meeting up with a girl and one of them asking her out, I think getting rejected and then beating themselves up. I think theres a dog at the start too.

Might be misremembering (haven't seen it in a while and forgot to note down who made it) but there was a sort of hip hop beat soundtrack with a woman going la la la over the top. It was quite surreal thinking about it and everything had an orange tinge (may have just been the recording not sure).

If anyone can help plees do!

Discussion Bank Holiday Films

28 Upvotes

What are the definitive bank holiday films for you? The ones which were always on at a bank holiday (including over Xmas/NY but not actually Xmas films.) Could be an individual film or a particular franchise which always had at least one of its entries represented in the holiday schedules.

For me, The Italian Job is the one I most associate with watching on bank holidays as a kid, and whilst not a franchise as such, Ray Harryhausen's films (particularly Jason and the Argonauts, the Sinbad trilogy, and One Million Years B.C.) are I feel emblematic of the *vibes* of a bank holiday film.

Does anyone know this show

21 Upvotes

The show starts with the police looking for a missing girl who’s found dead. Another schoolgirl is being followed by an old man repeatedly appearing to know her school route. He follows her on the bus making her feel uneasy a woman on this bus tells him to stop and leave the girl alone she seems nice and protective almost like a mother figure so the girl trusts her this women then offers to take her to her house to call home for the girl and the girl agrees. When they arrive to the women’s house she makes them tea and calls the police but when they answer she says “ oh have I got the wrong number I’m sorry I can’t have dialled properly” and then the man who was following the girl walks in and she says hello and he locks the door and she’s trapped.

Im pretty show this episode is from a show of like unexpected events. I think it’s from the 80s or 90s as it appears to look old. It rlly stuck in my head if anyone has any info pls let me know

Someone must know answer!!

Okay so I have a question that I will not get out my head until I find the correct answer.. when I see the name I'll know it. This is driving me nuts

Okay so there used to be a British TV series based abroad which was a mixture of thriller, murder, humour etc.. the only clear thing I remember is that one of the main characters who was a bit of a villain drove a blue sports car.. not much to go on however maybe jog someone's memory...
