WITCHFINDER GENERAL (1968): One of the 'Unholy Trinity' of early folk horror films. Vincent Price is perfectly cast as the thoroughly reprehensible Matthew Hopkins. Which is strange, as the real Hopkins died of tuberculosis aged 27!
BEASTS: SPECIAL OFFER (1976) Pauline Quirke is a socially awkward checkout assistant at Briteway supermarket. She's bullied by her boss, the customers don't like her, and she's blamed for the damage caused by an animal loose in the shop. Is it an animal, though...?
You got the touch! TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE (1986) has a violent, bleak tone which surprised audiences and critics alike, as a whole host of major characters are killed off. But none hit kids as hard as the death of the heroic Optimus Prime...

8am (GMT) Today sees the release of a WHITE DOOR song lost for 43 years! It was demo-ed for White Door’s debut album ‘Windows’ but, bafflingly, never made it to the album back in 1983.

PINGU'S DREAM (1991): Infamous episode in which the baby penguin dreams about a monstrous, sadistic walrus. I imagine a lot of Pingu's young audience had dreams about the walrus too, nightmare that it is.

GRANGE HILL: THE COMPUTER GAME (1987) Teenage entrepreneur Luke 'Gonch' Gardener is on a quest to rescue his Walkman from the staff room. Dying was a genuine possibility: drowning, getting trapped in a wall, rabies, and heroin addiction blocked Gonch's path!
