title: Magic in the Rocks

overview: "Magic in the Rocks", looks at the types of rocks where fossils can be found, from limestone, mudstone and sandstone to coal and amber. We travel from the Dorset coast to a quarry in Leicestershire then across the world to the Dominican Republic and Arizona and back to Glasgow and Edinburgh. We visit mines, petrified forests and swamps and laboratories where fossils are being extracted from their stony matrix, X-rayed, cat scanned and manipulated in 3D computer cross-sections.

title: Putting Flesh on Bone

overview: "Putting Flesh on Bone", explores what the animals looked like and how they behaved when they were alive. Some of the fossils are preserved in remarkable detail so that you can see the outlines of their flesh and the contents of their stomachs. Fur is clearly visible around a pterosaur fossil and the large breastbone suggests substantial flight muscles allowing powerful flight rather than just gliding. We visit the Smithsonian Institute where they have made a half-sized pterosaur model (large full-sized fossils can range from 35 to 50 feet wing-spans) to try to work out how the real giants of the air could fly.

title: Dinosaur

overview: "Dinosaur", provides the most familiar information. Dinosaurs have been 'done to death' by, seemingly, dozens of speculative and factual documentaries since David made this. But even if this episode is full of facts that have become familiar to us, it's better presented than most and still interesting.

title: The Rare Glimpses

overview: "The Rare Glimpses", examines areas of the fossil record where information is sparse. We visit The Burgess Shales in British Columbia, Canada where there's a rare deposit of soft-bodied animals, the sort that don't usually fossilize. The animals of The Burgess Shale are beautiful, unlikely and bizarre. The most common creatures preserved 500 million years ago, were trilobites. But what did the trilobites eat and what ate the trilobites? The creatures that trilobites preyed upon and those that preyed upon trilobites are found here, at The Burgess Shale. After the time of the dinosaurs, there's another period when small, delicate mammals only rarely fossilized and we see a rare glimpse of them at sites in Germany: one where the famous Archaeopteryx fossil was discovered and another where the mudstone is a mere 48 million years old and hasn't finished solidifying into rock.

Mindezekre és további hasonló kérdésekre ad választ a neves természettudós az őskövületeket elemezve. David Attenborough végigjárja a világ legnevesebb fosszília-lelőhelyeit, és bemutatja a történelem előtti idők élővilágát. A nyomokat vizsgálva megtudhatjuk, hogyan vadásztak a dinoszauruszok, milyen volt társas életük és hogyan gondozták utódaikat; megismerhetünk olyan bizarr élőlényeket, mint például a kisméretű ló, vagy a félig madár, félig hüllő ősállat.

title: Way Out

title: William and Mary

overview:
William Pearl gets the bad news from his doctor: he only has a month to live.  Dr. Landy says he can keep William's brain alive in a glass jar, after his body is dead.

William never got along with his wife Mary; he was a cheapskate and was mean to her.  When William dies, Mary is at home drinking and dancing.  William's brain (and the attached eyeball) are coming home to Mary.  But William's days of mistreating his wife are over; now she has the upper hand.  To prove her point, she blows some cigarette smoke into the brain jar, making William's eyeball squint.

[note: ""William and Mary"" is the name of a famous college-- the names kind of go together.]

[trivia: perhaps this episode provided inspiration for the movie ""The Brain That Wouldn't Die"" (1962).]

title: William and Mary

title: William et Mary

overview: William Pearl reçoit la mauvaise nouvelle de son médecin : il ne lui reste qu'un mois à vivre. Le Dr Landy dit qu'il peut garder le cerveau de William en vie dans un bocal en verre, après que son corps soit mort. William ne s'est jamais entendu avec sa femme Mary ; il était radin et méchant avec elle. Lorsque William meurt, Mary est à la maison en train de boire et de danser. Le cerveau de William (et le globe oculaire qui y est attaché) revient à Mary. Mais l'époque où William maltraitait sa femme est révolue ; maintenant, c'est elle qui a le dessus. Pour prouver son point de vue, elle souffle de la fumée de cigarette dans le bocal du cerveau, ce qui fait loucher le globe oculaire de William. [Note : "William et Mary" est le nom d'une célèbre université, les deux noms vont de pair.] [anecdote : cet épisode a peut-être inspiré le film "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" (1962)].

title: The Down Car

overview:
John Ventry and Mr. Bayle were Navy buddies; after they got out, they went into business together.  Although they were pals, John Ventry wasn't much good at business; in fact, his gambling debts-- which he charged to their company-- almost forces them into bankruptcy.  Bayle winds up shooting Ventry, and leaving a phony suicide note next to the body.

But Bayle is haunted by Ventry.  Bayle is in the top-story office one night when he starts hearing eerie noises and voices; Bayle tries to escape by taking the elevator down, but it plunges to the basement.  When the elevator door opens, Bayle is greeted by his dead buddy John Ventry.

[the ending is vaguely reminiscent of the Famous Ghost Story, about the personification of Death saying ""There's room for one more"" to a person about to board the elevator-- just before the elevator crashes.  It was the theme of the Twilight Zone episode ""Twenty-Two"" which was broadcast Feb. 10, 1961.]

title: The Down Car

title: La voiture en panne

overview: John Ventry et M. Bayle étaient des copains de la marine ; après leur sortie, ils se sont lancés dans les affaires ensemble. Bien qu'ils soient copains, John Ventry n'est pas très doué pour les affaires ; en fait, ses dettes de jeu - qu'il impute à leur entreprise - les contraignent presque à la faillite. Bayle finit par tirer sur Ventry et laisse une fausse lettre de suicide à côté du corps. Mais Bayle est hanté par Ventry. Un soir, alors qu'il se trouve dans le bureau du dernier étage, il commence à entendre des voix et des bruits étranges. Bayle tente de s'échapper en prenant l'ascenseur, mais celui-ci plonge au sous-sol. Lorsque la porte de l'ascenseur s'ouvre, Bayle est accueilli par son copain mort, John Ventry. [C'était le thème de l'épisode de la quatrième dimension "Twenty-Two", diffusé le 10 février 1961].

title: The Sisters

overview:
Harriet, the older sister, is immaculately neat; Louise, the younger sister, is a slob.  (think: ""The Odd Couple"".)  They live together in a cliff-house in Maine.  Not only does the domineering Harriet impose her tidy housecleaning habits on Louise, she tries to run her life too-- Harriet ""forbids"" Louise to date Paul Marchand.  Possessive Harriet tells Louise she doesn't need men-- after all, they are sisters and will have each other forever.

One day, Louise lets Harriet fall off the cliff.  Now Louise can do as she likes, and date Paul; (or so she thinks).  At night, a woman like Harriet goes around compulsively doing housecleaning.  One day, Paul comes to the front door, asking to see Louise.  Even though Louise answers the intercom, it is in Harriet's voice that she tells Paul to go away.  Louise has become her dead sister.

[in the character of Louise-- who adopted the habits of the person she killed-- I see a bit of Norman Bates, from Alfred Hitchcock's ""Psycho"" (1960).]

title: The Sisters

title: Les sœurs

overview: Harriet, la sœur aînée, est d'une propreté irréprochable ; Louise, la sœur cadette, est une plouc. Elles vivent ensemble dans une maison sur une falaise du Maine. Non seulement la dominatrice Harriet impose à Louise ses habitudes de nettoyage, mais elle essaie aussi de diriger sa vie : Harriet ""interdit"" à Louise de sortir avec Paul Marchand.La possessive Harriet dit à Louise qu'elle n'a pas besoin d'hommes - après tout, elles sont sœurs et seront toujours ensemble. Un jour, Louise laisse Harriet tomber de la falaise. Désormais, Louise peut faire ce qu'elle veut, et sortir avec Paul ; (du moins le croit-elle). La nuit, une femme comme Harriet fait le ménage de façon compulsive. Un jour, Paul se présente à la porte d'entrée et demande à voir Louise. Louise a beau répondre à l'interphone, c'est avec la voix d'Harriet qu'elle dit à Paul de s'en aller. Louise est devenue sa sœur morte. [Un peu comme Norman Bates, du film "Psychose" (1960) d'Alfred Hitchcock].

title: Button, Button

overview:
The Button referred to in the title is the button that will launch the nuclear missiles in a war.  Captain Stone has the key which unlocks the control panel, giving access to the Button.  Captain Stone also has nightmares about the nuclear holocaust that would result, should he ever have to push the Button; in his nightmare, his men hold him while one of the sergeants takes his key, and presses the Button, unleashing the nuclear missiles.

Captain Stone wakes up, relieved it was all a bad dream.  But just then, the exact same men that were in his nightmare show up-- including the sergeant who took his key and pushes the Button.  Was it a nightmare, or a vision of what was to come?

title: Button, Button

title: Bouton, Bouton

overview: Le bouton dont il est question dans le titre est celui qui permet de lancer les missiles nucléaires en cas de guerre. Le capitaine Stone possède la clé qui permet de déverrouiller le panneau de commande, donnant ainsi accès au bouton. Le capitaine Stone fait également des cauchemars sur l'holocauste nucléaire qui en résulterait s'il devait appuyer sur le bouton. Dans son cauchemar, ses hommes le tiennent pendant qu'un des sergents prend sa clé et appuie sur le bouton, déclenchant les missiles nucléaires. Le capitaine Stone se réveille, soulagé de n'avoir fait qu'un mauvais rêve. Mais à ce moment-là, les mêmes hommes que dans son cauchemar apparaissent, y compris le sergent qui a pris sa clé et appuyé sur le bouton. Était-ce un cauchemar, ou une vision de ce qui allait arriver ?

title: I Heard You Calling Me

overview:
Freda Mansfield (an American, age 38) is checking out of a London hotel; she is planning on eloping with her British lover George Frobisher (age 43, who already has a wife, Monica, and kids) and they are going to New York City together.  But Freda keeps getting mysterious phone calls from some strange woman, who says that Freda will never run away with George-- Freda is going with her.

The strange woman keeps phoning Freda; the caller says her name is Mrs. Rose Thorn, and adds that she is coming up to her hotel room to see her.  Freda sees what might be a ghost (dressed in 1912 clothing), and goes hysterical, and faints.  Later, a doctor examines Freda's body-- he tells George that she died of pneumonia-like symptoms: both lungs are filled with water, sort of like drowning.  George says that his mother was Mrs. Rose Thorn, who died of drowning nearly half a century ago-- she was a passenger aboard the doomed Titanic.  (He was later adopted by the Frobisher family; he had never mentione

title: I Heard You Calling Me

title: Je t'ai entendu m'appeler

overview: Freda Mansfield  quitte un hôtel de Londres ; elle a l'intention de s'enfuir avec son amant britannique George Frobisher (43 ans, qui a déjà une femme, Monica, et des enfants) et ils vont aller ensemble à New York. Mais Freda ne cesse de recevoir de mystérieux appels téléphoniques d'une femme étrange, qui affirme que Freda ne s'enfuira jamais avec George - Freda part avec elle. L'étrange femme continue de téléphoner à Freda ; son interlocutrice dit qu'elle s'appelle Mme Rose Thorn et ajoute qu'elle vient la voir dans sa chambre d'hôtel. Freda voit ce qui pourrait être un fantôme (habillé en 1912), devient hystérique et s'évanouit. Plus tard, un médecin examine le corps de Freda - il dit à George qu'elle est morte de symptômes semblables à ceux de la pneumonie : les deux poumons sont remplis d'eau, un peu comme si elle s'était noyée. George dit que sa mère était Mme Rose Thorn, qui est morte noyée il y a près d'un demi-siècle - elle était passagère à bord du Titanic qui a sombré.

title: The Croaker

overview:
Mr. Rana (latin for ""Frog"") is a strange man who has moved into the neighborhood.  He gets pestered by a rascally kid named Jeremy Keeler (think: ""Dennis the Menace"") who does stuff like letting pet dogs loose, so he can get a reward from their owners for their return.  Mr. Rana raises frogs, and offers Jeremy 25 cents per jar with flies, so he can feed the frogs; Jeremy balks at first, but after Mr. Rana tells him how much mischievous fun he will have knocking over peoples' garbage cans to collect the flies, Jeremy accepts.

Jeremy, meanwhile, sends Mr. Tench over to Rana's house to get his dog back.  Mr. Rana slips him a potion that turns Tench into a frog.  Next day, Mrs. Tench is filing a missing person's report.  Sergeant McGoogin reads his notes, ""Hair color: yellow.  Eyes narrow and close together.  Weak chin; drools.""  He asks, ""Is that your dog or your husband?""  Mrs. Tench quips, ""Both.""  Later, a large frog chases Mrs. Tench over to Mr. Rana's place; he slips her a potion, an

title: The Croaker

title: Le Crooker

overview: M. Rana (mot latin signifiant "grenouille") est un homme étrange qui a emménagé dans le quartier. Il est harcelé par un jeune voyou du nom de Jeremy Keeler  qui fait des choses comme lâcher des chiens de compagnie, afin d'obtenir une récompense de leurs propriétaires pour leur retour. M. Rana élève des grenouilles et offre à Jeremy 25 cents par bocal contenant des mouches, afin qu'il puisse nourrir les grenouilles. Jeremy hésite d'abord, mais après que M. Rana lui ait dit combien il s'amusera à renverser les poubelles des gens pour récupérer les mouches, Jeremy accepte. Jeremy, quant à lui, envoie M. Tench chez M. Rana pour récupérer son chien. M. Rana lui fait avaler une potion qui transforme Tench en grenouille. Le lendemain, Mme Tench remplit un rapport de personne disparue. Le sergent McGoogin lit ses notes : "Couleur des cheveux : jaune. Yeux étroits et rapprochés. Menton faible ; bave." Il demande : "C'est votre chien ou votre mari ?" Mme Tench répond : "Les deux."

title: False Face

overview:
Handsome actor Michael Drake has been cast as Quasimodo in a production of ""The Hunchback of Notre Dame.""  Drake goes slumming, and at a flophouse picks up a bum with an ugly face; Drake offers him $50 to come to his dressing room, so Drake can copy his ugly face via make-up.  Once he has no further need of the bum, Drake dismisses him.  Drake is also rude to his costar and girlfriend, Rita Singer.

The play is a hit, but there's a problem: after the show, the make-up won't come off!  Drake tells Rita, but since he has been so mean to her lately, she just laughs at his problem.  Drake desperately retraces his steps, until he finds the bum.  The bum now has Drake's handsome face.  Drake offers any amount of money to switch faces with him again, but he's too late-- the bum is dead.  Drake is now stuck with a Quasimodo-like face for the rest of his life.

title: False Face

title: Faux visage

overview: Le bel acteur Michael Drake a été choisi pour le rôle de Quasimodo du "Bossu de Notre-Dame". Drake s'encanaille, et dans un asile de nuit, il ramasse un clochard au visage hideux. Drake lui offre 50 dollars pour qu'il vienne dans sa loge, afin que Drake puisse copier son visage hideux en le maquillant. Une fois qu'il n'a plus besoin du clochard, Drake le congédie. Drake est également impoli envers sa coéquipière et petite amie, Rita Singer. La pièce est un succès, mais il y a un problème : après le spectacle, le maquillage ne veut pas s'enlever !

title: Death Wish

overview:
This episode starts out with the Narrator saying, ""Most men want to kill their wives.""  (did I mention ""Way Out"" is a misogynistic series?)  And we meet yet another married couple that can't stand each other: George and Hazel Atterbury.  They attend a funeral for one of George's coworkers.  That night, TV-addict Hazel is talking to her hubby, telling him all about her favorite TV shows, for example, ""The one where they're all gangsters, except the hero... it's very authentic, it's based on official files.""  (sounds like ""The Untouchables"".)  George goes for a walk instead.  George walks to the Petard mortuary that handled the funeral.

George decides to kill his wife.  Just as we hear his thoughts-- ""What do you do with the body?""-- Mr. Petard puts a sign in the window: ""Let us dispose of the body.""  Inside, George talks to Mr. Petard, who is an eloquent elderly gentleman who has a giant, bald-headed assistant named Charon* (think: Tor Johnson).  When George finds out they killed Mrs. H

title: Soft Focus

overview:
Peter Pell is a photographer who has made an amazing discovery: a special chemical that not only retouches photos, but then magically changes the faces of the people in the photos.  For example, Peter removes the scars on a portrait of a once-famous actress, making her beautiful again.

Peter knows that his wife Louise is having an affair with his assistant Bill Fontaine.  So Peter starts working on Louise's photo, using the magic retouching fluid, adding wrinkles until she looks very old.  Peter, the whole time, has been working on his own photo, making himself look younger.  But one night Louise discovers what he's up to in his studio; she splashes the bottle of the magic retouching fluid on Peter's photo -- erasing half the face on the photo, and half of his face!

[A truly scary episode.  It seems to draw some inspiration from the classic story: ""The Picture of Dorian Gray"".]

title: Season 1

overview:
Way Out was a 1961 fantasy and science fiction television anthology series hosted by writer Roald Dahl. The macabre 25-minute shows were introduced by Dahl's dry delivery of a brief introductory monologue, sometimes explaining a method of murdering a spouse without getting caught.

The taped series began because CBS suddenly needed a replacement for a Jackie Gleason talk show that network executives were about to cancel, and producer David Susskind contacted Dahl to help mount a show quickly. The series was paired by the network with the similar The Twilight Zone for Friday evening broadcasts, running from March through July 1961 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time, under the primary sponsorship of Liggett & Myers. Writers included Philip H. Reisman, Jr. and Sumner Locke Elliott.

The premiere episode, "William and Mary", adapted from a Roald Dahl short story, told of a wife getting revenge on her husband.

In "Dissolve to Black", an actress cast as a murder victim at a television studio goes through a rehearsal, but the drama merges with reality as she finds herself trapped on the show's near-deserted set. Other dramas offered startling imagery: a snake slithering up a carpeted staircase inside a suburban home, a disembodied brain in a jar, a headless woman strapped to an electric chair, with a light bulb in place of her head and half of a man's face erased.

title: Way Out

overview:
Way Out fue una serie de antología televisiva de fantasía y ciencia ficción de 1961 presentada por el escritor Roald Dahl. Los espectáculos macabros de 25 minutos fueron introducidos por la entrega en seco de Dahl de un breve monólogo introductorio, a veces explicando un método para asesinar a un cónyuge sin ser atrapado.

La serie grabada comenzó porque CBS de repente necesitaba un reemplazo para un programa de entrevistas de Jackie Gleason que los ejecutivos de la red estaban a punto de cancelar, y el productor David Susskind contactó a Dahl para ayudar a montar un programa rápidamente. La serie fue emparejada por la red con The Twilight Zone para las transmisiones del viernes por la noche, que se desarrollará de marzo a julio de 1961 a las 9:30 pm hora del Este, bajo el patrocinio principal de Liggett & Myers. Los escritores incluyen a Philip H. Reisman, Jr. y Sumner Locke Elliott.

El episodio principal, "William and Mary", adaptado de un cuento de Roald Dahl, hablaba de una esposa que se vengaba de su marido.

En "Dissolve to Black", una actriz elegida como víctima de asesinato en un estudio de televisión pasa por un ensayo, pero el drama se fusiona con la realidad cuando se encuentra atrapada en el escenario casi desértico del programa. Otros dramas ofrecían imágenes sorprendentes: una serpiente deslizándose por una escalera alfombrada dentro de una casa suburbana, un cerebro sin cuerpo en un frasco, una mujer sin cabeza atada a una silla eléctrica, con una bombilla en lugar de su cabeza y la mitad de la cara de un hombre borrada .

Cave Kids is a 30-minute short-lived animated series and spin-off of The Flintstones starring Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera for Cartoon Network and aired in 1996. The series followed the adventures of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm as pre-schoolers with Dino, the Flintstones' family dog as their babysitter. Unlike the original Flintstones series and its several spin-off productions featuring the kids and their famous parents, this show focused more on educational values and lessons for children.

An earlier Cave Kids effort was published by Golden Press, both as a Little Golden Book in 1963, and also as a Gold Key Comics series spanning 16 issues from 1963 through 1967.

title: Cave Kids

overview: A série acompanhava as aventuras de Pebbles e Bamm-Bamm, crianças em idade pré-escolar, com Dino, o cão da família Flintstones, como sua babá. Enquanto Pebbles e Bamm-Bamm falavam em linguagem infantil incompreensível para os adultos, eles conseguiam se comunicar normalmente entre si, como em Rugrats (outro programa em que as dobradora de Bamm-Bamm, Cavanaugh e Daily, trabalharam). Ao contrário da série original e de outras produções derivadas, este programa focava-se mais em valores educativos e lições para crianças em idade pré-escolar. Outra coisa que vale a pena notar é que Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm e Dino eram os únicos personagens estabelecidos a aparecer no programa e todos os outros, incluindo os seus pais (Fred e Wilma Flintstone, e Barney e Betty Rubble), estavam completamente ausentes.

title: Imagining Indians

Imagining Indians - PREVIEW

type: Clip

overview:
Imagining Indians is a 1992 documentary film produced and directed by Native American filmmaker, Victor Masayesva, Jr.. The documentary attempts to reveal the misrepresentation of Indigenous Native American culture and tradition in Classical Hollywood films by interviews with different Indigenous Native American actors and extras from various tribes throughout the United States.

With an all-Indian crew, Victor Masayesva visited tribal communities in Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota, Washington and the Amazon to produce this film. Masayesva says, "Coming from a village which became embroiled in the filming of Darkwind, a Hollywood production on the Hopi Reservation, I felt a keen responsibility as a community member, not an individual, to address these impositions on our tribal lives.

Even as our communities say no, outsiders are responding to this as a challenge instead of respecting our feelings... I have come to believe that the sacred aspects of our existence which encourages the continuity and vitality of Native peoples are being manipulated by an aesthetic in which money is the most important qualification. This contradicts the values intrinsic to what's sacred and may destroy our substance. I am concerned about a tribal and community future which is reflected in my film and I hope this challenges the viewer to overcome glamorized Hollywood views of the Native American, which obscures the difficult demands of walking the spiritual road of our ancestors."

title: Cumbria

title: Derbyshire

overview: Contestant Martin had a brief chase with The Interceptor but got away in the nick of time. Contestant Hillary was unaware that she was taken on a ride in a tractor by the Interceptor. The farmers at the farm where she got the tractor even go as far as helping him, all because of a money bribe of ten pounds, and a further ten pounds if his ambush was a success. When he locked Hillary's pack, he shrieked many times and yelled in joy, only for Hillary to jump on a nearby van, jokingly threatening to hit The Interceptor with a spade if he didn't leave her alone. Nevertheless, the ambush effort was all in vain, as even if the trick did not work, the contestants still would have failed as they did not meet each other within the 40-minute time limit.

overview:
Interceptor is a British game show created by Jacques Antoine, Jean Jacques Pasquier and Malcolm Heyworth.

It was made in between Treasure Hunt and The Crystal Maze, game shows from the same production company.

The show was hosted by former tennis player and Treasure Hunt sky-runner Annabel Croft. The eponymous Interceptor was played by actor Sean O'Kane.

Interceptor was received well by critics and viewers, yet only eight episodes were made. Nonetheless, the show has something of a cult following, which influenced re-runs on digital TV channel Challenge from 2001 onwards. A public vote by UKGameshows.com in 2002 saw the series voted the UK's 13th best game show.

overview:
100% is a television game show that ran in the United Kingdom from 31 March 1997 to 24 December 2001.

The Reg Grundy production was often billed as "The game show without a host" but it did, however, have a presenter in its announcer, former Thames Television newsreader Robin Houston. He read the questions off-screen throughout the show and was never seen by the viewers.

In its original format, three players would take three seconds or less to push buttons on the set corresponding to the multiple-choice answers of 100 general-knowledge questions.

Although pulling in reasonable ratings for the channel, it was dropped as part of a station revamp just before 2002.

title: Time Cracks

overview:
Time Cracks is a computer-made cartoon using 3D graphics for its three main characters. The three characters use a hot dog van as a time machine and travel to different moments in history, usually with simple information added to make it mildly educational and amusing scenes. The cartoon screened on ABC in Australia from 2004, and is five minutes long. The opening credits feature an introduction accompanied by a simple piece of music and animation. It was made in Tasmania by the government's authority.

The characters are Emily the echidna, Milo the dog, and 58 the sheep. The echidna rolls into a ball during the end credits but appears to be more brave during the show. The sheep is often butt of jokes in the van and is often visually part of a gag. The plot always involves a planned destination and mission for a 'second rate time travel magazine', which always ends in a botched plan and a rather bad solution. This always happens due to a mistake when the van races forwards through city streets of low buildings and then 'jumps' to a different time or place to the one intended due to it being mis-spoken. The van generally rematerialises in a very awkward place, such as atop Mount Everest.

title: True Files

overview: True Files is an English language television docu-drama telecast on MediaCorp Channel 5, with each episode re-enacting some major cases of crime in Singapore. When the inaugural season was telecast in 2002, its first episode was re-slotted to be telecast later, when numerous public feedback was received by the station complaining that it was too graphic after watching trailers for the pilot episode. The show was also pushed back to a 10 p.m. time slot from the second episode onwards as a result. Nonetheless, the hype helped the show to enjoy favourable viewership ratings, and so far, five seasons of this programme have been telecast.
