This is a good movie and worth watching.
Only an hour long and Max Headroom is not annoying in it.

On November 22, 1987, two Chicago television stations had their broadcast signals hijacked by an unknown person wearing a Max Headroom mask. The first attack took place for 25 seconds during the sportscast on the 9 O'Clock news on WGN-TV Channel 9 and two hours later around 11 o'clock on PBS affiliate WTTW Channel 11 for about 90 seconds during a broadcast of the Doctor Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock." The hacker mumbled nonsense during his interruptions, including the phrase "The Greatest World Newspaper nerds," a reference to WGN's call letters, standing for World's Greatest Newspaper. A homemade Max Headroom background rocked back and forth as he talked. The video ended with a pair of exposed buttocks being spanked with a flyswatter. The culprits were never identified.

Yeah It's great, a bit brazil. My advice though... watch '20 minutes into the future' then stop there.

indeed, good film,
I didn't know they made a series out of it, kind of curious now though.

^ lashings of this.
On a trivia note, the Directors of the film went on to make the Super Mario Brothers movie with Bob Hoskins. Where did it go so wrong?

Have they released "20 Minutes in the Future" on DVD yet?
I've only seen a very poor-quality version on YouTube and I believe it was missing from the TV series DVD set. It seems a shame as I thought it was a very good film.
Edit: *into, can't change subject lines.

I bought a DVD from Ebay but it was just a recording from VHS.
Still not bad - certainly better than the Youtube version. I've got it on VHS already somewhere though from when I originally recorded it off the telly.

Thanks, I'll have a hunt around!
It looks like someone uploaded this copy from VHS recently which is quite a bit better than the version that was previously there, at any rate.
