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.

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

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?

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.

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.
