The Practice

The Practice was a 1985 British television soap opera produced for ITV by Granada Television, which aired for two series in 1985 and 1986. The series was first introduced as a twice-weekly medical drama in January 1985, becoming Granada's second regular networked soap opera along with Coronation Street, with the idea being that its hard-hitting storylines would be a competitor with the BBC's EastEnders which started airing the following month. The Practice was set in a GP's surgery in the fictional Manchester suburb of Castlehulme and had an initial run of 34 episodes airing for 30 minutes in an early evening slot on Friday and Sunday evenings throughout the Winter and Spring of 1985. However, the series did not perform as well as had been hoped and it disappeared from screens in May 1985. It returned for a second run of 13 one hour episodes between May and August 1986, this time airing in a 9pm slot on Friday evenings. After series two ended no further episodes were made.

Cool It

Cool It is a British television comedy series which first aired on BBC Two between 1985 and 1990. It was a vehicle for the rubber-faced comedian Phil Cool. Whereas in 1985 there were irritating comedians, Cool was an "irritating impressionist" and would impersonate some of the most famous figures of the day. But these wouldn't be just vocal Impressions of the intended victims, they would be full-fledged and extremely accurate facial expressions too, with Cool being able to contort his rubbery features into a caricature semblance of whoever he was impersonating. Sometimes so uncanny was this facial transformation that he didn't need any sketch material or props to back him up and could rely solely on the transformation. Impressions ranged from political/important figures such as Robin Day, Roy Hattersly, Arthur Scargill, Neil Kinnock, The Pope and Ronald Reagan. To popular celebrities, comedians and musicians such as Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, Mike Harding, Terry Wogan, Billy Connolly, Clive James, Rik Mayall and his signature impression Rolf Harris. Fictional characters like Quasimodo, Bugs Bunny and E.T were also impersonated; Cool even created personalities for inanimate objects such as Morris Minors and Volkswagen Beetles.

The Charron Junkyard

The Charron Junkyard was a TV show that aired on MaxTaxTV from 1985 - 2000. It was owned by MaxTaxTV until later seasons until the end (6 - 8). Daft owned many other TV shows that were too graphic and horrible so they got banned, we would tell you the shows but we would get sued if we did. From seasons 6 - 8 (When Daft bought the show) is when the show started getting bad, the reason it got bad is because that was when they started torturing the main character Lennox Charron (Or what the public calls: "The torture era"). An example from the show is a scene where the script was that Lennox's parents went into his room and said "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CLEAN THIS ROOM! CLEAN THIS ROOM, NOW!" and they proceeded to destroy his room 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 after. The show ended in the year 2000 in the middle of the crew making the script for each episode of season 9 that never released because the company Daft got sued and filed for bankruptcy, after half of season 9's script was made.
