Someone has The Tower of London: The Innocent (BBC 1969) up on YT at the moment.  This is available on The Shadow of the Tower dvd release as an extra (or at least, on the Region 2 edition), but I’ve not seen it elsewhere before now.

This was a one-off play about the death of Edward Earl of Warwick, which inspired the PWTB at the Beeb to okay a full series about Henry VII that would also star James Maxwell (evidently impressed with his first go here).  That  was slightly delayed, but emerged in 1972 as...  The Shadow of the Tower!  XD

(Episode 12 “The Fledgling” deals with essentially the same plotlines as this one-off effort, but they are not the same.)

It is a very different production, which in itself is interesting to see in the light of what they later came up with!  As a one-act play, it’s directed by Jonathan Alwyn, who’s generally good and keeps things moving and (despite the weird mini-selection of cast listed above), it actually stars Robert Powell and Corin Redgrave as Warwick and Perkin, with James Maxwell as Henry VII.

Bandits:

Liam Neeson as Kegan, an axe-wielding polygamist

Robbie Coltrane as Rhun (voice dubbed over by Michael Elphick), who fights with a spear

Dicken Ashworth as Bardolph, who favors daggers

Clare McIntyre as Merith, one of Kegan’s many wives.

Belinda Mayne as Vella, Merith’s assistant

Crystal has always been a fan of fantasy and has loved Krull since her childhood so it’s not surprising that this is her pick. In fact, she always wanted to be Lyssa. She also loves the handsome and oh-so-precious lead and the costumes, and when she first saw the film, she was afraid of the Widow of the Web.

Steven Archer’s stop motion animation of the crystal spider is Bill’s favorite part of Krull. Well, that and the cyclops. He’s disappointed in the way the Beast is shot, especially after learning of all that went into its design. And, of course, you’ve got to love the glaive, a very stupid yet very cool weapon.

Chad is a big fan of sword and sorcery, and distinctive weapons so Krull is one of his favorites. He is particularly impressed with the cyclops, the beast, and some of the sets with their feel of German expressionism. He does, however, view it as being incohesive with a lot of the story that doesn’t make sense. Jeff describes Krull as a beautiful movie with its sets, locations, production design, and costumes, He also gives a special nod to Freddie Jones for the added gravitas he gives the film.

If you are hungering for some glaive-work or an 80s, sword and sorcery, quest movie with horrific elements (did we forget to mention the changelings?), Krull is just the ticket. At the time of this writing, Krull is available for streaming from HBOmax and various PPV options. As far as physical media, Krull is currently available as a Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Blu-ray.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Chad, will be Cannibal Apocalypse (1983), directed by Antonio Margheriti and starring John Saxon! Or is it Cannibals in the Streets? Or Apocalypse domani? Or Invasion of the Fleshhunters? Or Cannibal Massacre? Or… well, you get the picture.

Play for Today: Leeds - United! (BBC, 1974)

"Why don't you bum off up to Bentham's, there's thousands of 'em up there. We're only a dozen! What difference do we make?"

"Solidarity, that's the difference!"

"Solidarity me arse. What's the bloody union ever done for us, eh? Have a scan of this stinkin' hole in here, what's your bleeding solidarity done about that?"

"Well now's your bleedin' chance, innit!"

A very tiny one) but I think this is the towering achievement of Welland's career. More than any of #The films he wrote or his acting work. This represents him‚ the man‚ and his world‚ his politics‚ his beliefs. An extraordinary film. Two #Years in the making as first granada and then the BBC dragged their feet over the strong socialist message (the beeb eventually throwing #Their support behind the play; those were the days). Controversial with both sides of the real 1970 strike which it is based on‚ with both #Factory bosses and unions claiming misrepresentation. But Welland did his research and could show that his film was based on hours and #Hours of verbatim interviews with the workers and the representatives that had been there in 1970. I don't have space or brain to fully #Dissect this but my god what a powerful play‚ and what a technically masterful production. The choice of b/w and intercut news coverage and #Voice over creates this timeless image of historical significance for the kind of narrative so often ignored as irrelevant to the nation

Craggus Comfort Movies: Krull (1983) Review

He who doubts the cheesy goodness of Krull (1983) is making a glaive mistake. #CraggusComfortMovies #Review

Ludicrously lavish and, by turns, lavishly ludicrous, “Krull” is a wonderfully wasteful, overindulgent high fantasy misfire that still manages to entertain even as it baffles and frustrates in equal measure.

When The Beast’s star-travelling space fortress crashes onto the planet Krull, it interrupts the wedding of Prince Colwyn (Ken Marshall) and Princess Lysse (Lysette Anthony – at least…

Den Šakala 1973 – thriller mrazivý jako duše zabijáka - „Tak hodně štěstí, pane….pane Šakale.“

Pokud je někdo aspoň trochu sečtelý, asi je zbytečné představovat britského spisovatele Fredericka Forsytha. Aspoň v to doufám. Tento novinář a letec se stal synonymem špičkové úrovně politických thrillerů, vynikajícího jazyka a znalosti historických reálií. To poslední dovede navíc zakomponovat do příběhu samotného takovým způsobem, že popíše všechny nuance historické epochy a situace, aniž by narušil plynulost vyprávění.

The Hidden Truth 1.9 Sweets to the Sweet (10th September 1964).  Written by Hugh Leonard; dir. Peter Moffatt.  Featuring Alexander Knox, James Maxwell & Ruth Meyers.  Guest starring Bernard Archard, Joyce Heron, James Hunter, Kate Coleridge, William Buck & Ian Ogilvy.

“The people concerned are friends of mine, and I’m inclined to distrust my own conclusions.”

This episode was rediscovered and shown by Talking Pictures in autumn 2021, although only partially.  With about 10-15 minutes missing, this is the most incomplete of the four surviving episodes (although, ironically, it feels a lot more complete than “A Question of Involvement.”)

The topical subject of this episode (”purple heart” pills) generated more press interest than any other, even to the point of describing the still-missing ending.  (As to what else is lost - from the first half of the episode, a conversation between Lazard and Gerry in the car cuts out mid sentence, and there presumably must have been a scene that explained why Lazard was so amused at Dr Fox’s choice of reading matter later.)

Drinamyl (Dexamyl in the US) was an amphetamine/barbiturate addictive drug (blue triangle pills, nicknamed “purple hearts”), often prescribed to women with anxiety, that became a big part of the early 1960s Mod scene.  (The Guardian had reported the previous year that it was being “eaten like sweets” in cafes in Islington.)  It was everywhere in the media that year (when it was made illegal in the UK), including a series of Panorama Mod interviews.  (The drug had a long history of abuse and was discontinued in 1982 in favour of safer alternatives.) 

The critics (as ever) weren’t necessarily impressed.  Ben Hewitt in the Daily Herald was fairly scathing about its “tourist trap... slumming” and predictability, its moral of “don’t trust your children, lecture them, search their rooms” and its failure to portray the “strange, sweaty Soho of reality.”  The one scene Hewitt praised is currently missing from the recovered episode: “Its down-beat ending, with the pep-pill supply drying up and a baby-faced Canadian offering heroin all round, was the only surprise in a plodding script.”

The Mirror felt it was a subject better left to the “straight approach” of documentaries - but that this was the best episode of the series so far.

Playwright Hugh Leonard told the The Stage he had deliberately chosen to centre the episode around Lazard:  “I am afraid that Alexander Knox has a busy time in my story,” says Hugh Leonard.  “Although I don’t know him personally, I have always been a great admirer of his acting ability, so when I was asked for a script for this series, I made up my mind to use him practically throughout.”

The opening sequence was “filmed in the underground car park at Marble Arch, where, it is rumoured, Alfred Hitchcock is planning to make a thriller in the echoing corridors and vast concrete parking area.” 

Zeph Gladstone, playing a St Jude’s nurse, had previously appeared in the same role in 1.4 “The Achilles Heel.”
