I have fond memories of sitting in my (17 year-old) uncle’s living room while a variety of jungle cannibal movies warped my prepubescent brain. This meant that for a brief, glorious period, you could rent just about anything from your local newsagent. The early 80s were both a blessing and a curse for UK gore-hounds.Īs VHS players first began to appear across this small island, rental libraries sprung up to meet demand, but the various film-rating bodies lagged behind the technology. But you can still watch them all on YouTube right now… This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.10 horror films so horrific they’ve were banned by the UK government.

The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on Septemwhen President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets. The 19440 World MOVIE inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then in 1948, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning host Milton Berle the name “”Mr Television”” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. Televised events such as the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 19340 coronation of King George VI in the UK, and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II put a halt to development until after the war. The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 1930s.
