    Didn't like the presenter. Found him very patronising with his little tidbits of trivia.

    I remember this (always after The Late Late/ An Evening Prayer :D) is when I first saw Hitchcocks movies. I remember settling down in my sleeping bag to watch The Birds.

    He was a right pseudo (whoever he was) That slot was clearly ripping off Alex Cox and his MovieDrome slot on BBC2.

    Intro to the Last Picture Show and introduction by Brian Reddan is here at the 9 minute mark, the film shown is the Treasure Of Sierra Madre. This is from 1998, it ran a bit longer than I remembered, I thought it finished 1996-ish.

    I remember that. I used to think it was Ian O Doherty presenting it, did he do something similar?
