I loved Max Headroom. A real shame you can't get the original TV movie, '20 Minutes into the Future' anywhere now. I haven't seen it in years but I remember it as slick-looking, witty and well written. When we worked at Marvel UK I would occasionally see Matt Frewer wandering around Baywater in an old padded anorak, all but unrecognisable as Max Headroom.

The short-lived (only 14 episodes) US spinoff series is on DVD. Pretty good too as I recall, but the TV movie was best. Great pop video show too!

Always thought it was odd how Max Headroom went from being a one-off sci-fi movie - to being a music video show. Would love to know how one became the other… And for all that people knock about Eighties TV and styling, can you imagine something as bizarre as Max Headroom’s TV show happening today?
