does anyone remember 'liquid tv'?

I remember, years ago, watching a programme on BBC2 called 'liquid tv'. It featured loads of random animations, such as 'winter steele', 'aeon flux', 'speedbump the roadkill possum' etc and was really amazing! I've never met anyone else who remembers it though & if anyone does, please tell me I haven't imagined it!!

I remember it very well ! It was aired on MTV back in the early 90's and was awesome ! I also remember they aired the first Beavis and Butthead a good while before that program became widely popular. I use to have a ton of the episodes recorded on tape.

They used to show it on MTV right befor 120 minutes. I remember Aeon Flux at the beginning of the show her eyelashes catching a fly.Pretty risque' too, hind of cutting edge animation for the adult ala Heavy Metal.

It was awesome...saw it here in the states on MTV as well.

I hate myself for never recording an episode. There were several 'regular' features, one of which was Aeon Flux - - I forget the others.

I totally remember that show. They used to play it very late at night because it was too out there for most people. I loved it. Aeon flux still plays on mtv.

P.S. Toe jam on toast. Read the post about our kids loving new wave. I did not mean you in my

Um, just after I posted that last message, I had the bright idea of actually using the internet to look up "liquid tv"!

Still, at least now I know that there are some people who HAVE seen it!

The Art School Girls....of DOOM!!

There's a concept in serious need of being made into a campy, full length movie.

My favorite segment of "Liquid Television" was Stick Figure Theater.

MTV managed to release one video of the show and several of "Aeon Flux" when it was briefly a series.

My favorite absolute bestest-of-all MTV animation was "The Maxx". That program
