Thread! The pay-off is a belter
How come the DS9 one looks like the magazine cover advertising the latest 90s dramedy about carefree young people in New York, and the VOY one looks like the last photo taken of these people before SWAT teams raided the compound and found all their bodies clasping empty soft drink bottles?

This is on the BBC Scotland channel and iPlayer tonight from 9pm, a trip back to the 80s and 90s in the company of cast, crew and creator of City Lights.
A few rarely seen bits of archive, including clips from the pilot with Billy Greenlees as Chancer and no studio audience.

Dream jobs do come along… I’ve spent the last few months immersed in BBC Scotland’s City Lights as Assistant Producer on a new 60min doc telling the story of the show. With vintage clips + new interviews, it’s pure dead brilliant!
On telly/iPlayer 30th November.
