A narcissistic horror writer presents the cheesy 80s style series, which he claims was banished from the screen by television executives, the government and assorted shadowy "powers that be" for being "too subversive, too dangerous, too damn scary".

Written by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade. Starring Matthew Holness, Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry and Alice Lowe.

First broadcast on Channel 4 in January 2004.
