And so I ended up on the VHistory blog where, hidden in one of the sites earlier posts, I came across an early trailer for the first series of Red Dwarf.

Night of the Mini Dead (Love, Death & Robots)
This is a funky little thing – Night of the Mini Dead, from Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots. Apparently it’s from the show’s third season which, having firmly bounced off the first season (twice!), I’ve not yet seen. The uploader looks to have chopped it into two parts, though neither part is excessively long.

Part Two
And The Now Obligatory VFX Breakdown
There’s also a nifty VFX breakdown showing how the majority of the piece is actually augmented stock photography overlaid with GCI and with a tilt-shift effect applied.
NYMR’s LMS No. 5428 “Eric Treacy“ at Whitby, New Year’s Day 2024

And a few pictured before she left.
It also turns out that the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has a lovely 3D tour of 5428.
Last Christmas / James Dean Bradfield (1996)

Walking In The Air (Analog Synthesizer Cover)
Look Mum No Computer’s analog synth cover of Walking in the Air from The Snowman.
Harrowdown Hill / Thom York (2006)
Thom York’s catchy 2006 polemic on the Iraq War and the death of Doctor David Kelly. For a music video that first premiered on a mainstream commercial TV station, Harrowdown Hill turns out to be bloody difficult to find in any quality better than ‘potato’. Indeed, the version above – while still not proper HD and occasionally raked by compression artefacts – appears to be the best one currently available and its hidden away on director Chel White’s Vimeo page! The version on XL Recordings YouTube page? Just a squidgy mush!

FOLK as ROUGH as IRON Filings – Omnibus (1971)
And the BBC Archive has coughed up a lovely spot of old industrial folk music from the early 1970s. It’s certainly worth a listen and it’d be nice if the entirety of that edition of Omnibus somehow managed to make it to iPlayer…
Honk / Cyriak (2023)
Honk!
