Bladerunner was running a little late, eating into the next programme item. So the projectionist stopped it, 5 minutes from the end! A small riot ensued -- the final 5 minutes was shown.

Programme highlights

Harlan Ellison : GoH speech -- the dead gopher in the mail, the falling chandelier, and visiting Jeanne Moreau in France

... on being asked how he had enjoyed his trip to France:
"We ought to nuke 'em til they glow!"
Anne McCaffrey : GoH speech -- which followed the film Dragonslayer !!
Harlan Ellison v. Gremlins -- why he hates the film
