Black Mirror: Beyond the Sea (2023)

   Beyond the Sea is the third episode of the sixth series of the anthology series Black Mirror. It was written by series creator Charlie Brooker. 

   A fascinating episode in what has been a great series.  I'm not going to tell you anything else about it because you should go watch all of them knowing nothing.

The Morecambe & Wise Show (1970)


Well I always knew there were more appearances of this space suit and helmet out there, I just wasn't expecting one of them to be in something as high profile as The Morecambe and Wise Show

This is from a sketch in the first episode of the BBC's run which aired on 1st of July 1970.

I've also found yet another appearance of this spacesuit and helmet which I'll be posting next and then I'm probably going to have to do an index of all the known  appearances, dates  and colour changes.

If you are new here and dont recognise them, these were the suits first used in Doppelgänger, a 1969 British science fiction film written by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.  They then became even more prolific in the Anderson's TV series UFO, as well as being loaned out to make lots more appearances in other TV shows, adverts, book and record covers.
