I might give it another go CV. Popcorn was quite ahead of its time in terms of predicting reality TV so I got a bit impatient with Dead Famous.

Am I getting confused I thought Popcorn was the one with the hippy girl and the Military general.

No that's the one and it was really about the 'effects debate' but the final scenes of allowing TV viewers to choose if there is more violence by inviting them to turn their TVs off to avoid it but the ratings just go up was what I was thinking of.

I'm old enough to remember Friday/Saturday Night Live and his anti-Thatcher rants . And the one about the tabloid reporter in Dante's version of hell under Judas Iscariot looking up his arse.

I'm so glad I popped back in here (went off to the HL thread).
Used to love Friday/Saturday Night. It all seemed so fresh and new. In those days we set the video recorder (manually usually..!).

I fell in love with Stavros and his "Hullo everybody peeps".

Yes they do.
Forked tongue Simon Cowell.
