Above: 1919 Swedish poster for Out West. Design by Eric Rohman.I’ve recently come across a little known, rather brief but quite extraordinary chapter in illustrated movie poster history, thanks to the poster department of Heritage Auctions. Just over one hundred years ago in Sweden, one distribution company or state agency seems to have commissioned an astonishing series of posters for imported American silent films that to today’s eyes seem both retro and modern at the same time (some of them could be mistaken for Mondo designs). They have been popping up for auction at Heritage over the past few years, reaching prices as high as 4,320 for Out West (above) and as low as 73 for the lovely Kingdom of Youth seen below.

James Buckley, Paul Kaye and Sharon Rooney star in Zapped, a new fantasy comedy from Dave...
Back in June, a small gaggle of journalists and I were ensconced for a few hours within the shadowy bowels of Pinewood. We were ushered onto a soundstage between takes, inside a ginormous warehouse-like studio.
We were there to catch a glimpse of Zapped, a new sci-fi/fantasy comedy series that had recently been announced by Dave.

James Buckley, Paul Kaye and Steve Coogan are teaming up for Zapped, a new Dave series that blends wizards with workplace humour...
Dave's first foray into scripted comedy will soon be upon us. If you've been watching Red Dwarf XI on Thursday nights, you'll likely have seen a trailer for Zapped, a three-part fantasy sitcom produced by Steve Coogan's Baby Cow Productions.
Zapped starts on Thursday the 13th of October, just after Red Dwarf XI episode 3. If you can't wait that long, it's available as a preview now on UKTV Play.
The show stars The Inbetweeners' James Buckley as Brian Weaver, a humble online data marketing assistant who finds himself whisked away to a parallel, magical world.
Here's the first official clip:
It shows Buckley's character arriving in the fantasy realm of Munty and encountering Steg, Barbara and Herman in Herman's pub. Watch to the...
