Merseyside Punkoid with a Panavision lens: Alex Cox. Film-maker with a truly eccentric output that makes the likes of US lensman such as Tim Burton and the Fargo Brothers look relatively normal. A wiry, almost skeletal fellow with a look of William Fargo H. Macy to him. He made Repo Man Sid & Nancy and Highway Patrolman. Off-beat pictures with oddball characters and a downbeat feel. Used to host the excellent Moviedrome on BBC2 back in the late 80s - early 90s. He would present a brief dissection of the featured picture, which ranged from obscure Spaghetti westerns, Italian Horror flicks, to paranoid 70s conspiracy thrillers. Here he presents a more mainstream Sci-Fi actioner - Camerons 84 Terminator in his own unique understated manner. Television is far poorer without programmes such as this. https://youtube/watch?v=hoGGHPLdy5U
