In this podcast we head back to 1987 to revisit the first two episodes of the Jim Henson fantasy television series The Storyteller starring the late great John Hurt!

This Halloween we are going back to 1982 to watch the classic collaboration between George Romero and Stephen King - Creepshow! An anthology horror which pays tribute to the infamous EC horror comics of the 1950s with an all-star cast including Ed Harris, Ted Danson, Leslie Nielsen, EG Marshall, Hal Holbrook, Fritz Weaver, and Adrienne Barbeau!

To get us in the mood for some 1980s horror, we take a rambling trip back to November 1982 to sample the music in the charts the week Creepshow was released!

It's crap film time again, and we are chatting about Ken Russell's frankly bonkers adaptation of Bram Stoker's Lair of the White Worm starring Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi, and a terrifying strap-on! 1980s horror doesn't get much more mental than this!

To get us in the mood for a craptastic slice of 1980s horror in the dubious shape of Ken Russell's Lair of the White Worm, we dig up a slice of pop telly from the week of its release!

It's cult time time again, and we hit to road to look at the early Steven Spielberg classic Duel starring Dennis Weaver and the bloody big truck!

As we are travelling back to the 1970s for our Duel episode next week, we thought we stop off and sample some vintage 1970s rock!

In this episode we are back in the 1980s, back in the 1950s, and indeed, Back to the Future! Hop in the Delorean with us and revisit this classic movie from Robert Zemeckis

In a special episode to celebrate the life and works of Terrence Dicks, who sadly passed away this week, we hop in our TARDIS to revisit the feature length special , The Five Doctors, which originally aired on November 25th 1983 to mark the 20th anniversary of the long running BBC SF show Doctor Who

In a little bonus episode to get you in the 1980s mood for our next show, we're going back to 1985 to watch an episode of BBC music show Top of the Pops that aired the very week back to the Future was released!
