From the high seas to the high street - the Fighting Furies were some of the most impressive action figures of the 1970s, combining button-controlled sword fighting, extravagant costumes and a unique look. youtube.com/watch?v=EawJFW…

@nakedtruthguy A cynic might think that it has been designed to fail, leading to more wide-reaching legislation to 'close the loopholes'. UK governments have form with this - pass a contentious law that allegedly only targets the most extreme material and then extending it more and more.

So…How’s this new #OnlineSafetyAct going so far? A rip roaring success? Or a total and utter fail within 12 hours of launching? Any ideas how many children it has saved (that are not actively looking for it out of curiousity already?) Or…Too soon to tell?

@BBFC What people who have no expert knowledge in a subject 'think' and what is true are not necessarily the same thing. As well you know.

Think of glamour girls of the 50s/60s, and you might think of Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren or Diana Dors. But there was another household name of the era, now all but forgotten: Sabrina. youtube.com/watch?v=n8vdZf…

It's a lacklustre Eurovision so far. But never mind. Thanks to The Overlooked Hotel, you can marvel in just how many past winners - more than makes any sense - were banned by the BBC during the Gulf War, lest they triggered radio listeners. youtube.com/watch?v=WTz9CU…

Once upon a time, Reader's Digest regularly sent out flexidiscs promoting their latest record collections. Some of these discs actually played after negotiating the postal system - but not many. A tale of a lost world of hard sell and promotional ephemera. youtube.com/watch?v=LibcB1…

Some fab new releases in @foppnotts this evening. I'm particularly looking forward to checking out the INCUBUS Blu, which features a commentary track from @reprobatepress David Flint...💀🎬

In 1980, a shady German geneticist was carrying out forbidden experiments in a mansion in Hertfordshire. On April 1st, early-evening magazine show Nationwide investigated, revealing startling - and frankly ludicrous - results in cloning. youtu.be/z5Pby3TyGLc?si…

The trend towards 'Dark Academia' as a look for trend-chasing dabblers is an annoying vacuous one, with a lack of sincerity and a disregard for the meaning and value of a library of books at its heart. youtube.com/watch?v=D1TYAw…

In the mid-1970s, Britain was in the grip of monkey fever, with a fanatical Planet of the Apes fanbase unlike anywhere else in the world. Step forward a small fan club operator with big plans to take the film and TV franchise onto the stage. youtube.com/watch?v=isdCOJ…

PUMP ME UP! Cult movie icon and model Caroline Munro had a lesser known third career as a would-be pop star, recording several singles from the 1960s to the 1980s. Sadly, none were successful but they are a fascinating 'what if' aspect to her career. youtube.com/watch?v=eC5YzG…

From superheroes to celebrities to squirrels, nothing was left untried in the campaign to teach kids how to safely cross the road in the 1960s and 1970s. Anyone who ignored the ads must've been out of their tiny minds... youtube.com/watch?v=hmLlCo…
