The journalist turned TV screenwriter Charlie Brooker is a relatively uncelebrated celebrity in the US due to the criminal fact that his programs the youth-culture drama-comedy Nathan Barley, the post apocalyptic reality show Dead Set (I have Tiger Tom Briggs to thank for that one) and nightmarish Twilight Zone for the 21st Century Black Mirror have not been screened over here. Correction- Dead Set aired on IFC in the States back in 2010.
Expect Black Mirror episodes to start turning up on Hulu as Avenging Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. just bought the rights to the script of one of its episodes for feature film treatment.
Robert Downey Jr has optioned an episode of Charlie Brooker’s Channel 4 anthology series Black Mirror with the aim of producing a science-fiction thriller, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Created by Peep Show writer Jesse Armstrong, the episode (The Entire History of You) centres on a world in which people can replay their memories using “grain” implant technology. It was originally screened on 11 December 2011 and starred Toby Kebbell as a jealous husband obsessed with using the replay tech to uncover evidence that his wife (Jodie Whittaker) had engaged in an affair.
The proposed film version, which is being put together at studio Warner Bros via Downey Jr’s Team Downey production company, appears to be slightly different. Set in the near future, it will centre on a widower who uses similar technology to reconstruct his relationship with his dead wife until he unwittingly uncovers a vast conspiracy. Armstrong, whose film work includes 2009′s Oscar-nominated In the Loop (with Armando Iannucci, Simon Blackwell and Tony Roche) and the 2010 terrorism satire Four Lions (with Chris Morris), will also write the screenplay.
Downey Jr is not yet attached to star in the film and there are no further casting details. The second series of Black Mirror began on Monday night with the episode Be Right Back, starring Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson. All three episodes of the new series are written by Brooker, a columnist for the Guardian.

Weta Workshop have worked on everything from the upcoming Superman The Man of Steel to the Hobbit film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, King Kong and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy to the Eighth Doctor’s steampunk-inspired sonic screwdriver.
They will now be turning their talents to the beloved Gerry Anderson TV series Thunderbirds for a new generation.
Weta Workshop plans to tackle another well-loved tale – re-inventing the Thunderbirds television series.
One of the UK’s biggest production companies, ITV Studios, is pairing with Weta and New Zealand-based Pukeko Pictures to make Thunderbirds are Go!.
The show is set to air in 2015, 50 years after the original series launched.
The 26-part re-incarnation of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s iconic puppetry series featuring the Tracy family and Lady Penelope will use both CGI animation and live-action model sets, Weta Workshop announced.
Weta Workshop and Pukeko Pictures founder Sir Richard Taylor said the original series was “hugely influential” on him as a child, and therefore he was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on the children’s show.
“I…look forward to designing and creating an inspirational world that will engage the imagination of a whole new generation as it did for us nearly half a century ago.”
Pukeko Pictures was founded in 2008 by Sir Richard Taylor, Tania Rodger and Martin Baynton, and produced animated children’s shows Jane and the Dragon and the Wotwots.
My 4 year-old son has become enamored with the Thunderbirds of late and the notion of a new revamped version of the series that still pays homage to Anderson’s program makes me very happy. It reminds me of my years as a Doctor Who fan which few people even knew about let alone liked only to see it become the most popular TV series of its kind.
Crap… hopefully things’ll work out better for Thunderbirds.
Overview of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s Supermarionation
The Prisoner is among the most innovative, thought-provoking and influential works of television ever made. It’s also really weird, cool and densely packed with meaning.
The Prisoner has impacted comic books, music, cartoons and even a follow up revision in 2009 (which, even with its flaws, was quite good). It continues to branch out into other mediums with a new stage play that dramatizes the interplay between star/writer/director Patrick MacGoohan and head of ITV, Lew Grade.
Portmeirion. It was the cult Sixties television show that intrigued and enthralled a generation of viewers.
The Prisoner ran for 17 episodes from 1967 to 1968 and was filmed in Portmeirion, the Italianate resort designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis in the 1920s.
Now, a new play charting the turbulent relationship during the enigmatic series between actor Patrick McGoohan and media mogul Lew Grade will be performed at Portmeirion for the first time.
Magic Number Six, written by Leicester writer Paul Gosling, will play at Portmeirion, Gwynedd, on March 16 this year during the annual convention of the Prisoner Appreciation Society, known as Six of One.
The play will also be staged at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in August.
The original series followed the fortunes of a former British secret agent who was kidnapped by an unknown enemy and taken to an unnamed village where inmates are numbered but not named.
Patrick McGoohan, who died aged 80 in 2009, co-wrote the original script and played the main character – known only as prisoner Number Six.
He found himself in a constant intellectual and emotional struggle with his captor, Number Two, played by different actors including Leo McKern.
Mr Gosling said: “I am from the generation who first saw The Prisoner in the 1980s on Channel 4, we were the first generation to be able to vide-tape the show and it had a big impact on me.
“I revisited the show when it was released on DVD and ITV4 also re-showed it in recent years and I’d always kept the series in my mind.
“I am also a fan of other shows of that era such as the Supermarionation series by Gerry Anderson and The Avengers and The Saint, so I felt that there was a social crossover between these shows and wanted to cover that.
“So although the play will appeal to The Prisoner and Patrick McGoohan fans, it will hopefully appeal to fans of all those types of shows.”
McGoohan is though to have been inspired to co-write The Prisoner partly from his earlier Danger Man series in which he played spy John Drake,.
In an episode called Colony Three, Drake infiltrates a spy school in Eastern Europe during the Cold War.
The school, in the middle of nowhere, is built like a normal English town in which pupils and instructors mix as normal. But the instructors are virtual prisoners with little hope of ever leaving.
McGoohan told Grade during the making of Danger Man, (Grade was then-chairman of ITC Entertainment which made the show) that he wanted to quit the series.
Grade was unhappy but McGoohan later pitched The Prisoner.
In some ways it reflected the story of the spy in The Prisoner who begins his journey to the mysterious island by quitting his role as a spy.
Mr Gosling said: “The play is about Patrick’s relationship with Lew Grade before, during and after the making of The Prisoner.
“It started out very well and they really liked each other, but soon got sour.
“It was in the back of my mind for some time but only took about three or four months to come up with the first draft.
“It’s all set in Lew’s office and it’s pretty minimal.
“There are three characters, Patrick, Lew and Lew’s secretary, Sandra.”
The play’s director Carolos Dandolo said: “We are thrilled to be invited to perform in Portmeirion, where much of the original TV series was filmed, and to receive such warm support from fans of the show.”
Portmeirion’s unique design came from Williams-Ellis’ love of the Italian village of Portofino.
He said when he was designing the village he only wanted to reflect the style of the Mediterranean.
But he added: “How should I not have fallen for Portofino? “Indeed its image remained with me as an almost perfect example of the man-made adornment and use of an exquisite site.”
Still riding a high from seeing Best of Rifftrax Live! Manos: The Hands of Fate. Next week I am taking in Plan 9 From Outer Space for all it is worth. Christopher Walken may be the cult actor of the millennium today, but before he appeared in Pulp Fiction he was just another amazing actor who appeared in questionable films… like this (what am I saying? He is still the class A actor of Deer Hunter who performs in flicks like Seven Psychopaths). I love him, but I have to shake my head at 90% of the movies he turns up in.
McBain is 100% 80′s angry action movie complete with villains who fly through the air when they are shot like murder is some kind of fun fest for clowns. It’s all very weird.
Click to order the riff!
WARNING! Contains naughty language and Christopher Walken impressions!
Let’s get this out of the way: Yes, this movie is called McBain. No, it has nothing to do with what you’re thinking: it’s not a biopic of Diane McBain, star of the 1960 TV series Surfside 6. Oh, or that Simpsons character either.
No, there’s no Mendoza for McBain to take out in this one. That’s just in the silly movie series The Simpsons came up with. Probably only took them a couple minutes too. Mendoza…Ha! This McBain is much more legitimate and creative. Its drug dealer is named Escobar.
Christopher Walken (Mousehunt, Joe Dirt, The Country Bears, Gigli, Kangaroo Jack) stars as the titular McBain. When the man who rescued him from a POW camp is executed by a Colombian dictator, it’s time for McBain to put together a ragtag group to avenge their friend. He rounds up a smooth talking technology expert, a black guy who is afraid of flying, and a guy who repeatedly asks him if it’s really a good idea to rip off The A-Team so blatantly.
Finally, they’re ready to take out the dictator and what follows is possibly the most incoherent mess of an action film there ever was. The body count soars, plot threads are introduced and discarded at a moment’s notice and a WrestleMania hat is given prominent screentime. Evidently, nobody ever told the producers of McBain that 80s action flicks were out of style, or that it’s not very badass to make your supposed action hero a welder (McBain is a professional welder, we forgot to mention that until now. Also, his first name is Bobby. Both of these things are true.)
McBain is the movie that will have you saying, “Seriously? Christopher Walken did this only three years before Pulp Fiction?” Join Mike, Kevin, Bill and Rainier Wolfcastle for McBain: Let’s Get Silly.
For many of my generation (and older), Gerry Anderson’s Supermarionation programs are a touchstone for their youth. Remembered for his Thunderbirds, Stingray and the like, Gerry Anderson is an outstanding filmmaker who used the most amazing techniques to produce children’s programs that made an explosive impact on the viewing public and even hold up today.
Of course I am also a big fan of his live action series UFO and Space: 1999 where Anderson proved that he could take the same level of professionalism to the small screen with liver actors.
Gerry Anderson will always be an ambassador to my childhood and one who I will never forget. Raise a glass for the master, chaps.

Gerry Anderson, best known as the creator of Thunderbirds, has died at the age of 83. The film and television producer, whose credits also included the puppet shows Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 had suffered for several years with mixed dementia and died in his sleep, his son announced on Wednesday.
The news was announced on his son Jamie Anderson’s website. He wrote: “I’m very sad to announce the death of my father, Thunderbirds creator, Gerry Anderson. He died peacefully in his sleep at midday today (26th December 2013), having suffered with mixed dementia for the past few years. He was 83.”
He requested that any fans wishing to make donations in honour of his father should contribute to the Alzheimer’s Society.
His website also included a tribute written by his fan club, known as Fanderson. Nick Williams, chairman of the club, said: “To those who met him Gerry was a quiet, unassuming but determined man. His desire to make the best films he could drove him and his talented teams to innovate, take risks, and do everything necessary to produce quite inspirational works. Gerry’s legacy is that he inspired so many people and continues to bring so much joy to so many millions of people around the world.”
Gerald Alexander Anderson – famous for the use of “Supermarionation”, or the use of modified puppets – was born in 1929 in Hampstead, north London, and began his career as a film trainee at the Ministry of Information before starting work at Gainsborough Pictures. He later set up AP Films with some friends.
With commissions thin on the ground Anderson and his team were eager to produce their first puppet show The Adventures Of Twizzle. Others including Torchy The Battery Boy, and Supercar followed. Success continued with Fireball XL5 and Stingray. But it was Thunderbirds, filmed on the Slough Trading Estate in Berkshire and first broadcast in 1965 that made his name. With the catchphrase “Thunderbirds are go!”, the programme revolved around International Rescue, a secret emergency service run by the Tracy family aided by London agent Lady Penelope and her butler, Parker.
In 1966, Thunderbirds was made into a major feature film for United Artists, Thunderbirds Are Go, which was followed by a sequel, Thunderbird 6.
Anderson moved towards live action productions in the 1970s, producing Space: 1999. In the 1980s, a burst of nostalgia for his Supermarionation series led to the commission of new productions, including a remake of Captain Scarlet. New Captain Scarlet, a CGI-animated reimagining of the 1967 series, premiered on ITV in the UK in 2005. He also worked as a consultant on a Hollywood remake of his 1969 series UFO, directed by Matthew Gratzner.
Anderson was a one-of-a kind film and television producer, who had far-reaching influence, according to his fan club dedication. “Anderson’s unique style of filmmaking influenced the imaginations and careers of countless creatives that succeeded him, and his productions continue to be shown around the world to new generations of fans,” it read.
Television presenter Jonathan Ross praised his work, tweeting: “Sad news. Gerry Anderson RIP. For men of my age his work made childhood an incredible place to be.”
The producer was diagnosed with mixed dementia two years ago and his condition had deteriorated over the past six months and he had moved into a care home in October. He also worked as an ambassador for The Alzheimer’s Society, to raise awareness and money for the treatment of the disease. Gerry Anderson leaves three children from former marriages, Joy, Linda and Gerry Junior, his son Jamie and widow Mary.
There is a great site Just Giving that has set up a special page where fans of Gerry Anderson can make donations in his honor.
Ah, Christmas. That magical time of year when Santa travels all over the universe by means of the fifth dimension, (which his close friend Merlin invented in a floating space castle), delivering toys that were made by a skunk in a factory overseen by a wolf in a village whose head of security, Puss in Boots, occasionally has to fend off giant ogres.
A story so familiar and comforting, it’s like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket. By which we mean it’s so insane and twisted, it makes the Ice Cream Bunny look like Tiny Tim Cratchit.
Christmas with RiffTrax: Santa’s Village of Madness is three shorts from the mad mind of K. Gordon Murray, who brought you the MST3K episode Santa Claus. Featuring cheap mascot costumes, terrifying music, an utter lack of coherence and a Santa who appears to have been dead for most of the shoot, they are some of the most astounding things we have ever laid eyes on, and will quickly become a new yuletide tradition, provided your eggnog is adequately spiked.
Mike, Kevin and Bill will be your hosts throughout your journey, introducing each short with their best brave faces as they stare into the abyss of Christmas Skunks and magic flowers that subvert the space/time continuum!
Dancing sugar plums, propositioned reindeer, screaming nightmarish imps and a drunken bleary-eyes Santa Claus at the bottom of the chimney… it must be Christmas.
What do ice-skating reindeer, pipe-smoking santas and a parade of aquatic champions have in common? You’ll see them all in the RiffTrax Live: Christmas Shorts-Stravaganza, now on Blu-ray! The stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000® have a sackfull of delightful and demented shorts to riff live onstage. Some of the forgotten gems of Christmases past prove to be the perfect targets for the rapid-fire riffs of Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett. And if that wasn’t enough, they’re even joined by comedy legend “Weird Al” Yankovic for a musical short about the wonders of pork! It’s funnier than Ernest Saves Christmas and far less creepy than The Polar Express!
Join Mike, Kevin, Bill and Al for a festive night of hilarious holiday comedy that is destined to become traditional Christmas viewing.
I have been delving into the first series of Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999 and massively enjoying it. While hard going at first, it has quickly grown on me and I am becoming a big fan (so expect episodic reviews). One of the more inventive and bizarre science fiction programs that took a leap from its predecessor, UFO, Space: 1999 was in heavy syndication throughout the late 1970′s and early 80′s but is largely forgotten today except by a devoted following. Far weirder than Star Trek yet grounded in a more realistic world, the program starred Martin Landau and Barbara Bain as their characters tried to maintain order on Moonbase Alpha after the moon itself catapulted out of Earth’s orbit and into the unknown.
As a child of the 1970′s, I had very vague memories of Space: 1999 and mostly from the second year. I recall owning a few toys such as the disc-launching side-arm and I am sure that a Corgi Eagle transport got lost in my toy chest at one point (sadly never to be found again).
Imagine my surprise (or lack thereof) when I learned that not long ago a re-imagining of Space: 1999 was in the works.
ITV Studios America and HDFILMS, the company behind ABC’s reimagining of “V,” are prepping a contemporary iteration of the 1970s space franchise.
Space: 2099 is poised for a comeback.
ITV Studios America and HDFILMS announced plans for a reimagining of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s famed franchise of the 1970s, then called Space: 1999. The news comes months after Fox and producer Seth MacFarlane announced they would be reviving Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey, a 1980s miniseries from Carl Sagan.
“Science fiction is a powerful format capable of visualizing the human condition in thought-provoking ways,” said HDFilms president Jace Hall, who will spearhead the effort and serve as an executive producer. The project is in the development phase and has yet to be shopped to networks.
“While we are indeed re-imagining the franchise and bringing something new and relevant to today’s audiences,” continued Hall, who recently revived V at ABC, “I feel strongly that some of the overall tones set by the original Space: 1999 television show represent an exciting platform to explore possibilities.”
Added ITV Studios International’s managing director Paul Buccieri: “After more than 35 years, we are thrilled to be developing a new vision of our much beloved franchise for audiences worldwide. Historically, the Space: 1999 brand has entertained and fascinated millions of people.”
We’re happy to present the first ever RiffTrax Christmas special! In the spirit of the season (that is, delusional hysteria and madness) we’ve dug up some hilariously bizarre holiday oddities!
Join your hosts, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett, as they:
*Exchange gifts, with vintage toy commercials
*Riff an insane vintage cartoon, The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives
*And riff the main event, Magic Christmas Tree!
Magic Christmas Tree is a fresh slice of holiday weird, sure to bring back cherished childhood memories. Remember how your parents used to tell that old Christmas tale of a boy who hit his head trying to help a witch retrieve a cat named Lucifer, hallucinated for months, and befriended a creepy, sarcastic tree? No? Well that’s probably for the best, you were a young, impressionable child. But you’re ready now!

Transmitted 4 October, 2012
Over 5 million years from the planet Earth, a mining craft the size of a city wanders through space with a crew of four; Dave Lister – the last human in existence with nary a goal aside from a larger, curry and a shag, a life form evolved from a household cat, a neurotic hologram based on Lister’s long dead bunk-mate Arnold Rimmer and a mechanoid named Kryten. The red Dwarf plots an aimless course through infinity with random moments of absurdity along the path to the inevitable extinction of all life.
It is frankly criminal that so few people are aware of the genius that is Red Dwarf. In the UK, it rose to prominence during a time when nary a series like it was in sight. Revived just two years ago for Back to Earth, the program is finally back on the air for a full run of two series (at least, I hope). I recall personally calling in to my local PBS station demanding that they transmit Red Dwarf back in the day and quite pleased that it blossomed into a minor phenomenon in my immediate social circle. Such was the way of things before the internet as we know it today (I still recall the day when Robb read the script for Psirens from his book imported from the UK). Sure, the last two years after the departure of Rob Grant were sub-par to say the least, but there was a legacy of brilliance there.
(Personally, I quite like Rob Grant’s solo effort, The Strangerers)
The problem with Red Dwarf after the departure of Rob Grant was that there was definitely something missing. The latter two years lacked the biting wit and the inspired ideas as well as the cynical characters that made Red Dwarf such a success. In short, it felt dumber and less interesting than before. There are some good moments in there, but the best stories were in the past.
Combining the logic of modern science fiction with the inanity of slapstick and absurd humor, Red Dwarf was a program like no other.
This year marks the return of Red Dwarf to TV screens (well, DAVE TV) for the first time since 1999 (barring the three-part special Back to Earth in 2009) and it is a return to the status that once marked it as a cult TV program demanding attention from followers of Star Trek, Doctor Who and more. Given that both Trek and Who are on the tip of cultural acceptance, it is surprising that Red Dwarf, a program that both lampooned and championed both while adding it own unique elements to the newborn genre of sci-fi/comedy, was missed in the mix.
Trojan, the first of a six episode run, is absolute genius. The comedic moments are back, the cast are in peak form and the concepts are insanely out of left field. In short, Red Dwarf is back. Despite evidence to the contrary, the returning cast members of Craig Charles (Lister), Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Danny John-Jules (Cat) and Robert Llewellyn (Kryten) are in their prime. Riffing with the best of them, the crew waste no time at all in jumping right back into action. No time is wasted in bridging the gap from the last episode to this one, it’s just free-wheeling insanity.
In the opening episode, Lister and Cat obsess over the contents of ‘Stupid But True!’ while Rimmer embraces a no-win attitude in his latest attempt to pass the officer’s exam. Lister and Cat are both sucked in by the droid equivalent of the home shopping network. An offer of a Mix Master promising to change their lives ensnares the pair for the remainder of the episode. Lister calls in an order on what appears to be a 1990′s era cordless phone and refuses to hang up, despite the fact that he is put on hold for hours.
When a rogue craft appears and they investigate, it comes as some surprise when a mayday call comes from Rimmer’s brother Howard, acting hologramatic commander aboard an ailing vessel. Despite blaming his parents on his failure to obtain any success in life, Rimmer’s brother is apparently a success. However, only Kryten is aware of the situation, so he just orders the droid to forget the mayday while he once more attempts to pass the exam. This of course results in the hologram equivalent of a nervous collapse. The only option is to reboot and cleanse Rimmer’s light bee of his neuroses so that he can function. When the rest of the crew become aware of Rimmer’s reluctance to face his brother for fear of facing the shameful enormity of his life’s failures, the situation comes into sharp focus.
In order to save Howard Rimmer, the Red Dwarf crew must embark on the shoddiest of shams and pretend to be the top of the space corps along with the craft itself being flight worthy. But what’s the alternative? Admit reality?
I recall the days when Red Dwarf was a series that was suggested to me and one that I would impress upon others. Later, that would turn to a kind of shameful pleasure when Red Dwarf dwindled into embarrassment. Judging by this episode, the days of the brilliance of Red Dwarf are back and thank goodness.
And here’s an alternative review from regular poster Hal:
Red Dwarf was one of the most successful small sf shows of the late eighties/early nineties; launched in 1988 the year before Doctor Who ended its original run, it was by its sixth series in 1993 not only really the last British sf series standing but also an award-winning international hit. Quite amazing when one considers that it began as a small-scale character-based sitcom with a budget that Blake’s 7 would have laughed at.
As you know, creators Rob Grant and Doug Naylor wrote every episode of Red Dwarf I-VI but there relationship disintegrated so when VII aired in 1997 it was without Grant. Although VII and VIII were popular neither were up to the standards of earlier runs with format and cast changes suggesting that Dwarf’s time was past and that Naylor without Grant was like French Fries without Salt. Naylor’s deluded quest for a Dwarf movie kept it off-screens for years, and when it did return as the Back to Earth mini-series, well as you remember, it was fitfully entertaining, under-budgeted, slightly pretentious, and not quite convincing as Dwarf. So, is Red Dwarf X even a worthwhile endeavor. From the evidence of premiere episode “Trojan” very much so! There’s no Holly (boo!), Kochanski (boo! Chloe Annett’s nice), or any of VIII’s crew (yay!) but Rimmer (Chris Barrie), Lister (Craig Charles), the Cat (Danny John-Jules), and Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) are all present and correct, very much in-character and entertaining.
In fact with the possible exception of a rather muted at-times Craig Charles, all four seemed more *in-character* than at any point since perhaps Red Dwarf V. John-Jules’s Cat is hilariously dumb while Llewellyn to inhabit Kryten better than he has in years, and this despite a rather odd make-up job and changes to his physique and costume that lead to a rather porky-looking android (check out his chest-plate!).
Most notable is the fact that – some flaws aside – Doug Naylor’s script feels more like “real” Red Dwarf than *any* of his previous post-Grant material. This show’s Rimmer (who isn’t the *original* hologram Rimmer presumably) may lack the emotional nuances of the II-V version but Naylor writes him very well, Chris Barrie is as usual brilliant (even if broad, mostly), and he is *very* funny. Naylor for the most part nails it with the comedy throughout, the first scene is a little awkward (with some odd-sounding audience laughter – and it *isn’t* a laugh-track) but this serves to set-up a hilariously silly joke later on involving Rimmer, a question on his astro-navigation exam, and an answer involving a moose. Without wishing to spoil anything the episode’s plot – though flawed – ends up delving into Rimmer’s familiar personality problems and resentment of his long-dead but successful-when-alive brothers, the problem with Quantum Rods, and the perils of sexy simulants. It may not be perfect but it is very funny, it has impressive model shots, memorable characters, and is, all in all the best Red Dwarf for 19 years.
Recommended.
Well done to the cast, Doug Naylor, and Grant Naylor Productions. I hope you like it, Jameson.
