The bad guys in the man from uncle were called T.H.R.U.S.H
but in the pilot episode they were called W.A.S.P, which as we all know stands for "We Are Sexual Perverts"

David McCallum
made a rare and sought-after album.

The most famous sample taken from it is the hook from Snoop Dogg/Dr Dre's 'The Next Episode' - itself ripped off from the infinitely superior Missin Linx classic 'M.I.A '.

Alt Q - Arrested Development
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 16:08, Reply)

Alt Q:
There was a programme a few years ago which I think only ran for one series. I think it was called 'Lost' and it was a kind of a gameshow where they took three teams of two people and dropped them off somewhere remote on the planet. Their goal was to get back to Trafalgar Square by any means necessary. A lot of the time they had to rely on the kindness of strangers and it was really interesting to see how people fared. There were some really odd situations like where this team consisting of a gay couple tried to cross the Iran-Turkey border. Fun show.

edit: also, In The Night Garden is very soothing yet insane in a whimsical kind of way.

Alt: Firefly still isn't known to far too many people, so I'd say that. Also, Castle has only just started being advertised, and I think that's awesome.

Also, I used to watch 'The Dead Zone', that was a pretty odd series.

Many years ago
I used to watch a programme on an obscure German satellite channel called RTL. The programme was called Space Night and basically consisted of satellite views of the earth, some of which would last up to 20 mins. The slow, trippy, drifting visuals were absolutely fucking incredible. Mandlebrot sets would appear in mountain ranges, fractals sprung out of artic ice sheets and my mind dribbled out of my ear.

Soundtracks included Steve Hillage and even Joe Meek one time. Mostly I would put my own tunes on.

A cult favourite
I will see if I can track down a torrent later this evening. It did end up becoming a bit more 'knowing', flashier intro's, shorter sequences etc. When it was on initially, it felt a bit more sciencey, if that makes any sense.

Still brilliant though, and there should be a channel showing live earthviews, broadcasting 24 hours a day.

I was out on site with a guy from the Environment Agency a while back
got in his car to drive to another location and he put a CD on and was like "what do you think of this?"

it started out sounding like some really chilled out ambient dance stuff, I was waiting for the beat to come along when he said it was a CD of bat noises....

If I remember rightly, it was a test signal used by Classic FM
It was basically a series of field recording, recorded in a field by the sound of it. Pretty relaxing stuff actually, better than the advert strewn shite that it currently pumps up.
