I could mention tonnes of stuff but right now this one comes to mind, Billy Liar - awesome writing,
I've never seen the TV series, it is a great film and book:



A personal favourite of mine, seeing as we're on the subject of Threads, is When the Wind Blows which I thought was even more devastating:

The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. The true measure of a man is this: how quickly he can respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give - Philip K. Dick.

If I had to name a single programme it would have to be

Threads

I have this in my collection and watched it as a child (great parenting, mum :thumbup: ).

However, in the spirit of my actually starting to notice what I give my attention to, I have promised myself never to watch it again.
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

Deffo! :thumbup: Soap as well.

Robin Williams as Mork (the show was shit apart from him) was a massive influence on my sense of humour.

:secret2: ...when I was in university I somehow volunteered myself to watch MASH the movie for 24 hrs to raise money for local charities during our rag week. We (2of us) were set up in Cheltenham bus station on coach seats dressed out in MASH gear. Guiness book of records said they'd be there. We managed 26hrs =13 viewings...bloody Guiness never turned up :mad: .....maybe I should have stuck this in your random acts of stupidity thread :D

My childhood memories of Top of the Pops have always been tainted,
Still some awesome memories though,
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
