In the early 1970's, ITV's film buyer #LeslieHalliwell wrote a very informative column for PHOTOPLAY on the new phenomenon of TV Movies, providing a thrilling hint of what to watch out for - the column below dealt just with upcoming horror like The Night Stalker.

It is my opinion - and I have to be very careful what I say here for boring reasons - is that a move towards extracts rather than packages trails might not be a terrible thing again, because three extracts which change every week is better in some cases than running the same trail for three weeks.

Last night, watching New Captain Scarlet Shape shifter episode on ITVX, Captain Scarlet gets graphically shot and chucked in a swamp. The adverts come on for cuddly pink puppy toys and lego pandas. Episode continues with him rising from a shallow grave. Not sure who they think is watching this.
