    Harry I'm showing that Quatermass and the Pit is on at 11pm on Mon 12 Oct. on TPTV

    Well worth a watch, Nigel Kneale's original TV drama brought to the screem.
    Allowing that the effects maybe a bit ropey , the story is original and quite disturbing.

    Seen it a few times, brilliantly effective story. Well worth seeing for anyone who loves a low key apocalypse!

    Is there other actors/actress that have appeared both in 'Prisoner CBH' & 'Wentworth'?

    Early heads up, Apostasy is on BBC2 on Saturday night at 10pm

    It's a really powerful British film from a few years ago about the relationship between a mother and her two daughters who she is raising in the Jehovah's Witness faith. One sister leaves the faith and the other starts to question it as their separation draws out. It's written and directed by a former JW member and is a pretty damning portrait of the religion without being preachy or over the top dramatic.

    A rare FTA showing of David Cronenberg's popular breakthrough horror thriller the Brood is on Horror channel Saturday night at about 10.45 repeated later in week.

    Still remember the damning Starburst review, by Tony Crawley I think. Times change!

    War of the Planet of the Apes could be considered Fantasy / Sci-Fi. It was my least favorite of the latest Planet of the Apes films.

    But that was on last night :(
