So It Goes

So It Goes is a British TV music show presented by Tony Wilson on Granada Television between 1976 and 1977. It is most famous for showcasing the then burgeoning punk rock movement. It was named partially in reference to Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-Five. The show's first series, produced by Chris Pye, gave The Sex Pistols their first ever TV appearance, and featured performances by Patti Smith. It also included occasional non-punk guests such as journalist Clive James and comedian Peter Cook. The second series, produced by Geoff Moore, featured performances by The Jam, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Stranglers and Siouxsie and The Banshees. An expletive-strewn appearance by Iggy Pop proved too much for Granada bosses, leading to the cancellation of a third series.

The Return of Captain Nemo

The Return of Captain Nemo was a 1978 science fiction TV movie directed by Alex March and Paul Stader, and loosely based on characters and settings from Jules Verne's novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Denshichi Torimonocho

Nakamura Umenosuke plays Denshichi of Kuromon-cho, Edo's most trusted courtier. Denshichi of Kuromon-cho is the most trusted official in Edo, who has received "Shibo no Jute" from Kita-machi Magistrate Saemon Lieutenant Toyama. This is an orthodox, yet catchy story that makes the most of Umenosuke's personality and weaves in the humanity of the common people of Edo. The two-finger hand clasp after the case is solved and Denshichi's call of "Congratulations" became the talk of the town.
