Fortean TV and TV Offal

[Solo]

Anyone remember these? Fortean TV was presented by Father Lionel Fanthorpe, all about the supernatural/weird goings-on - and TV Offal was presented by Prof Stephen Hawking! On very late at night and just plain bizarre. (both 90's I think?)

I definitely remember Fortean TV. I believe it was connected to the publication Fortean Times, though I may be wrong... I do know that Rev has been known to contribute to that great magazine on occasion..

TV Offal rings a bell but, apart from that, I don't really remember much about it.

Weird Night. I still have this on video somewhere. IIRC it was presented by Tony Wilson and Lionel Fanthorpe did segments on strange vid clips. The evening was rounded off with David Lynch's The Grandmother.

TV Offal was by Victor Lewis-Smith, I've still got a bit on video somewhere.

Fortean TV ruled, loads of bizarre happenings narrated by Fr Lionel Fanthorpe, then he'd finish every episode with a catchy singalong ditty... and yes, it was a spin-off show to accompany the Fortean Times magazine. Which I really should read more often...
