It's time for another poke around the dusty attic of archive television, and this week the sinister presence we can hear scritching about on the floorboards overhead is the 1969 adaptation of Alan Garner's novel, The Owl Service.

Adam's guest for this episode is Jezella Pigott - artist, musician and all-round good egg - whose links you can find here:

RETROTUBE OBSCURIOS: Middle English - Interference (1985) with Alex Pearson

While Heather is recuperating from a touch of the Covid (but don't worry, she's firmly on the mend), join Adam and special guest Alex Pearson for a new and occasional dip into the weirder, more obscure and often creepier corners of archive television, Obscurios.

For this inaugural episode, we're looking at mid-80s child-terrifier, INTERFERENCE, which went out as part of ITV's Middle English educational programming. Crumbs!

RETROTUBE OBSCURIOS: The Nightmare Man (1981) with Hannah Cooper

Raaarrrrr! It's time for another RetroTube Obscurios, and this week Adam is joined by Hannah Cooper (@MrsSimonTemplar) to discuss murky 1981 horror shenanigans, The Nightmare Man.

It's Robert Holmes! It's Douglas Camfield! It's Reg Hollis off The Bill! It's well-known Scottish actress, Celie Imrie! It's a lurking, shiny monster with red-tinted eyesight brutally picking off local residents one by one! Exactly the sort of thing to watch when you're six years old.

But will Hannah say "Yay!" or will she say "Crivvens, no! Help ma boab!"? Or will she let her cover slip and accidentally say, "Nyet, comrade" instead?
