This BBC Video ident from 1984 used to give me the willies. Like so many video company idents of the time, it felt cold, sterile, and slightly dystopian. Was it just me, or did it unnerve anyone else?

Hastings Old Town.

The pilot episode of New Tricks was originally broadcast on this day in 2003.

The unnerving, doom-laden title sequence to ITV's long-running current affairs show WORLD IN ACTION, circa 1980. Between the radar-themed Vitruvian Man (who, as a child, I confused with Jesus) and the angry theme music, every episode felt apocalyptic.
