There have been two series (The second is called _Son of the Incredibly
Strange Film Show_).  Each series was (I think) six shows.  The host is
Jonathon Ross (who is a big fan of genre, and of comics), and the show
was produced by his production company, "Channel X".  It was shown
on Channel 4 in the UK.  Ross also hosted a tv special on David Lynch.
