MTV s Remote Control: The definitive oral history

A raucously sarcastic take on the game show genre, Remote Control burst onto MTV in 1987. Part of the cable channel’s first wave of non-video-centric shows, Remote Control skewered vintage pop culture with its “mom’s basement” style set, cigarette smoking commentators, and questions about everything from physics to The Brady Bunch or a combination thereof. Contestants slouched in brightly colored Barcaloungers, were pelted with snacks between questions, and got pulled backward through breakaway walls upon elimination. Host Ken Ober (who died in 2009) held court with an everyman sneer alongside announcer Colin Quinn, while comedians like Adam Sandler and Denis Leary popped in to ask questions in guises such as “Stud Boy” or legendary animal trainer Gunther Gebel-Williams. It made both no sense and total sense.

Smoking, hats, cheap drinks and free parking - old films offer a glimpse into a different world

One of the few good things about self-isolating in these winter months is that I have started to watch some of films in my DVD library that runs into several hundred. I am a great fan of British B movies of the 1950s or, to use their proper name, supporting features. This was the era when you got to see two films when you went to the cinema. These movies were often shot in just two or three weeks with budgets usually ranging from £20,000 to £60,000. Today a television advert lasting one minute could cost several times that amount. Some of these modest efforts are poor but others are forgotten gems. I enjoy them for a couple of reasons. They sometimes starred fading Hollywood actors such as Forrest Tucker, but always were packed with character actors, some of whom I later met. The second reason is they were capsules of the time. Everybody smoked, drank alcohol even if they were driving, could always park easily in central London, wore hats and could buy a round of drinks
