THREAD: On 17 December 1976, Thames TV aired a debate about paranormal beliefs. I'm going to present some of the choicest clips here, because believe me: it's the best thing you'll see ALL DAY.

THE PLAYS OF ALAN CLARKE: The 80s was a golden era for writer and director-led television. Visionary director Alan Clarke gave us Penda's Fen and Scum in the 70s, but the 1980s was his decade, beginning with ITV's 1982 play 'Made in Britain'...
16 year-old Trevor is intelligent, articulate and witty. He's also a violent, racist skinhead thug. Writer David Leland makes no apologies for Trevor's behaviour; and there are none for the authorities, who warn Trevor he'll bounce from dole to prison and back again...
Alan Clarke's next project was a 1984 Play For Today for BBC1 called 'Stars of the Roller State Disco'. A real eighties oddity, this one...
