British Telly

He said that those who suggested that the show glamourised the devil had not really understood the series. “It’s not an irreligious show at all,” he said. “It’s actually very respectful of the structure of that sort of religious belief. The idea that it promotes satanism [is nonsense]. None of the characters from Hell are to be aspired to at all. They’re a dreadful bunch of non-entities.”

Seen anything good this week.

Administrators say most of its employees face redundancy after a slump in viewers.

Broadcast as an episode of Anglia TV's Science Report, it was supposed to have been broadcast in April 1st 1977 but got delayed until June.

It describes, with a straight face, a secret space program to colonise the Moon and Mars. Unfortunately, like the X-Files a decade and a half later, some would take it as fact (or fiction trying to leak secret information). In particular Milton William Cooper picked up the ball and ran with it, his work ultimately becoming one of the sources of inspiration for the X-Files.

There was an official tie-in book (that I own) as well as a handful of conspiracy theory books looking at it in far too much detail. The idea of a Secret Space Program (and Breakaway Civilisations) have continued to metastasise into increasingly outlandish claims.
