The Missing Link is devoted to British and American horror films and aims to provide a comprehensive listing of all those made up to 1950, with slightly scantier information taking it into the 1960s. The site includes film and book reviews and more general articles on particular personalities or themes, which are well researched and surprisingly in-depth. It is possible to search by title and by personality and many of the reviews include both video and audio clips which can be viewed using RealPlayer.

Although there are many websites devoted to classic TV programmes, this one distinguishes itself for its better than average design and layout and for the seriousness with which it approaches its subject and the level of detail it provides. The site includes broadcast information on UK TV and some radio programmes, giving credits and transmission dates (both mostly taken from the Radio Times), interviews, articles, news, as well as a discussion forum with some 300 registered users. There is also a link to the homepage of a related publication, Timescreen which is devoted to TV fantasy programmes - it includes web versions of the magazine’s articles. In addition there is a gazetteer which features useful details of other similar forums, details on distributors and like-minded publications.

It includes several thousand individual items, including biographies of British film and television personnel, including actors, writers, directors, producers, composers, cinematographers.

The database incorporates some material from the recently published Encyclopedia of British Film and from the forthcoming Reference Guide to British and Irish Film Directors and evenly covers both television and film. It also includes stills, posters, scripts and other fascinating items. One of its most exciting features is the vast amount of material that can be viewed on the site, much of which comes from the BFI’s National Film and Television Archive. This is only available to schools, colleges, universities and public libraries on their premises and not elsewhere. These include extensive clips from rare and obscure film and television titles as well as entire episodes from such classic TV shows as Fawlty Towers. The streamed material can be viewed with QuickTime, Real and Windows Media Player and cannot be downloaded for copyright reasons.
