I’ve had to guess at Assassin Of Youth as I can’t find any reference to the title in the programme Teenage Dope Attack and I’m thinking the 1960s tv/film version of Dragnet is most likely rather than the 50s or 80s version. If anyone knows better please tell me!

Soft Cell’s appearance on Top of the Pops performing Tainted Love was my equivalent of Bowie doing Starman. Next day at school we talked of nothing else.

This was a “Sega Mega Movies” event promoting new games releases with demos available in the foyer. I have to assume the films chosen didn’t necessarily reflect the game titles!
