Tonight starring Darren McGavin, Carol Lynley
The Las Vegas police are baffled by a series of bizarre murders and only wisecracking newsman Carl Kolchak has the answer. He believes that there's an age-old honest-to-goodness fanged and bloodthirsty vampire on the loose. But nobody wants to print the story, the cops won't help and the night stalker is about to silence him - permanently. This chilling comedy thriller received one of the largest audiences on American television for a TV movie and spawned a successful sequel and television series.
Last of three programmes Graphics
'If you're looking for tights and you find yourself rummaging in the frozen fish cabinet, it's a worry': designer and panellist Mary Lewis on supermarket packaging. But graphic design is about far more than packaging - it's about how newspapers, magazines, books, records and stamps look; it's about companies trying to look good - through the manipulation of their public image. Television graphics have become the most fashionable and glamorous part of graphic design, and television commercials are among the entries that have to be compared with foot-care packs, a national newspaper, wine bottles and a road sign, among others.
