The Steam Video Company was a 1984 comedy series produced by Thames Television for ITV written by Andrew Marshall and David Renwick.The six episode series was a low budget spoof of the horror genre, intermingled with spoofs on contemporary television programmes, such as Nationwide. The programmes starred the same repertory cast of comic actors in a variety of roles. The cast included: William Franklyn, Barry Cryer, Anna Dawson, Bob Todd, Madeline Smith, and Jimmy Mulville. The title is thought to be a reference to 'the golden age of steam railways', with the 'steam video' apparently a spoof on the multitude of low-budget horror and exploitation films available during the early days of the British home video boom.Falling between the plot-driven nuclear insanity of Whoops Apocalypse and the newspaper satire of Hot Metal, it looks as if the writers were letting their hair down and just having fun with this series. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: A Running Joke as every week an exasperated cast member would express dismay at the shoddiness of Bob Todd's disguise. | |
