I expect it was just easier/cheaper to hand it to the Radiophonic Workshop and say "this, but make it sci-fi". My recollection is that even Peter Howell isn't particularly enamoured with his own version.

Now considering a British version made at the same time. Marty gets up to sing the FGTH song only to be shut down by Holly Johnson (as a teacher) bellowing through a megaphone: "Sorry fellas. I'm afraid you're just too darn gay!"

Someone in a Teams meeting just said “It’s the old chicken and the egg question isn’t it? Why did they cross the road?” then realised what they’d said and turned their camera off.

"It's only one whisky, Tom. It's only one cigar, Tom. It's only one fibreglass boat, Tom" This is all I remember. And it's what I drunkenly slurred at Glyn Owen's face in a pub in Belsize Park in 1996.

Would love to travel back to summer 1987 and tell the teenage me that this lad would one day cover The Smiths with a band and do it better than The Smiths*.

True "Salem's Lot" story - back in 1981, when BBC1 did "a special two-part presentation", one of my friends and I (being big strong and tough boys) decided to convene in my bedroom to watch it. IN THE DARK. Now : the layout in my bedroom - two single beds, in the middle of the room <more>

This. We all need to be better allies. She Who Must Not Be Named and her ilk are monsters and we need to resist their foul eugenicist ideology. Their immense wealth is being used to change the law, endangering the lives of trans people AND anyone who isn’t conformist in their appearance or desires.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

If you still have friends on Twitter, maybe this will convince them to junk it. The Muskrat openly bankrolling Tommy Ten-Names in the UK courts brings Lord Rothermere and the BUF to mind, only Rothermere wasn't the richest man in the world. Fascism always goes hand-in-hand with obscene wealth.
