Here we go again.

18:40 AMRAKUS – A Space Rock Opera Part 1 (pre-show). While extracting the element Trinogen from the core of AMRAKUS, human people manage to blow up the entire planet, dooming its inhabitants… But never mind that, how will our heroes get back to Earth?

19:00 Cibo Matto – Sugar Water. Music Video

19:04 Jason of Star Command Ch.1 and Ch.2. Terrible TV Science Fiction that makes Buck Rogers in the 25th Century seem like 2001 a Space Odyssey. Features Craig Littler as Not Han Solo, and that fella who played Scotty in Star Trek with sadness in his eyes.

19:27 Out of the Unknown – The Man in My Head. “A group of soldiers led by Brinson (Tom Chadbon) break into a Hydro Electric Plant.  They are members of a Strike Force, an elite group of soldiers who have had their orders subliminally implanted.  Until they receive the appropriate radio signal they don’t know where they are or what they have to do.” Nothing can go wrong.

20:15 Are You Popular? More important life lessons for CABbers.

20:24 Maintaining Classroom Discipline. Who threw that you little f**kers? 1950s USA comes to the aid of those among us who see teaching as a possible career move.

20:39 Fred Basset – Eye to Eye. Back in the 1970s I wrote to Alex Graham to request they make a cartoon series of the Daily Mail’s ‘humorous’ hound. So this is party my fault… Sorry.

20:44 Fumiko’s Confession – A short anime.

20:45 Gokusen S1. Ep1. Japanese (manga based) TV drama . Kumiko Yamaguchi is an idealistic young teacher who’s first post is to look after the worst class, in the worst school in the country. She vows that under her watch every last one of these delinquents will graduate. But Kumiko has a dark secrete... If folks like this I’m thinking of giving this a regular slot.

21:43 Juni Ito’s The Enigma of Amigara Fault. More Japanese horror in the form of a ‘talking manga.’ This one’s a bit of a classic.

22:00 Picnic. Japanese feature film. “Coco, Tsumuji and Satoru, three mental asylum patients, want to see the world, but are not allowed outside walls of the asylum.” They are able to break this rule on a technicality.

23:12 Welcome to the NHK Parts 12 and 13. Our protagonist has gone to an offline party by accident.
