I was watching the documentary on Mike Oldfield and Tubular Bells and even after all these years since seeing The Exorcist at the tender age of sixteen I had to close my eyes when they showed clips from it.
They spoke about the snippets from TB and how it was a perfect for setting the scene in The Exorcist.
What Tull tune would make a good film or TV score and why?
Get you imagination and the single brain cell working.

What about Puer Fox Adventus for a fictional fantasy series about one of the celtic saints updated to suit our twenty first century tastes? Game of Thrones meets I Claudius. In fact HE could make a good fantasy show - not in it's entirety but if you chose some of it's themes.
Then there's the good old 'scary' Tull.
I'm watching the gothic horror Penny Dreadful on Sky Atlantic - excellent viewing and not for the faint-hearted. Rory Kinnear portrays the best Frankenstein monster version I've ever seen and according to critics the most similar to Mary Shelley's original idea for the sad, barbaric creature.
With You There To Help Me intro would work well at the start of any gothic- style Victorian drama.

I wonder if they could make a movie with this song...?

I thought I might catch up with you on this one Jim I can't recommend this series enough. It grips you right from the start, it's beautifully filmed and the acting and characters are superb. Be warned it has very adult scenes but don't let that put you off the only thing that puts me off is Billie Piper's Belfast accent but apart from that there's not much else wrong. I won't give too much away but the performance from the actress Eva Green is only shadowed once by the hauntingly beautiful performance by Alex Price as Proteus - Victor Frankenstein's 'child' You know that part of Frankenstein where we feel sorry for him? Never seen the pathos portrayed so movingly. Anyway back to the thread How could Skye Travel not choose Broadford Bazaar as it's theme tune - lyrics and all in advertising a summer break? Scene 1...Crowds of people queuing up on Bank Holidays on motorways or airports Dirty white caravans down our road, sailing. Vivas, Cortinas, weaving in their wake. With hot, red-faced drivers, horns flattened, fists whaling, Putting trust in blind corners as they overtake. Scene 2 ... In contrast a deserted beach, lush greenery and clean rippling rivers. And it's ``All come willing now, Spend a shilling now, Stack up the back of your new motor-car.'' There's home-dyed woollens, and wee plastic Cuillins shown aptly in this video* uploaded by Sinisa Klarica * except that some of the pictures aren't of Skye but you get the gist.

There is a certain song from STAND UP which would be perfect for this new Mel Gibson movie: Mel Gibson has been set to play Santa Claus in FATMAN, a dark action comedy that is looking to be a present for buyers at the upcoming Cannes film market. Filming is scheduled to begin early next year in Canada. Fatman centers on a rowdy, unorthodox Santa Claus (Gibson) who is fighting his business decline. Meanwhile, Billy, a neglected and precocious 12 year old, hires a hit man to kill Santa after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking. It was written and will be directed by brothers Ian and Eshom Nelms, whose credits include Small Town Crime, Waffle Street and Lost on Purpose. “I am excited to be working with the incredibly talented Nelms brothers who have written a unique, highly entertaining script,” de Barros [one of the film's producers] said. “Mel is the perfect choice as Chris Cringle like we’ve never seen him before. I couldn’t be more thrilled to watch this darkly comedic Christmas film come to life.” I would also like to see them use some music from THE JETHRO TULL CHRISTMAS ALBUM.

'Another Harry's Bar' could take the place of 'Cheers'. 'Wounded,Old and Treacherous' describes Ian look alike bad guy in Breaking Bad
I guess 'Quizz Kid' and 'Love Story' are too obvious.

Some more "mature" Forum members may remember this UK tv documentary.
Living in the Past was a fly on the wall documentary programme aired by the BBC in 1978 which followed a group of fifteen young volunteers, six couples and three children, recreating an Iron Age settlement, where they sustained themselves for a year, equipped only with the tools, crops and livestock that would have been available in Britain in the 2nd Century BCE.
Produced at BBC Bristol by John Percival for BBC Two it consisted of twelve fifty minute episodes airing from 23 February to 11 May 1978.
