TV Alert

LEGACY OF BLOOD was not on today, CHAINED FOR LIFE instead. Pulse appears to be one of those channels, rather like Paranormal, whose announced schedule differs from what is actually broadcast. They've scheduled the Bela Lugosi film THE MYSTERIOUS MR. WONG a few times (it was supposed to follow LEGACY OF BLOOD today), instead we get THE VAMPIRE BAT, although today it was UFO: TARGET EARTH.

A new channel, Simply Movies, is showing the Seventies British film A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG tonight, which may be of interest to some of you.

Can you record it to DVD for me?

[tobiaswragg]

Don't have a dvd recorder Marc, sorry. Also everything I tape from my Sky digibox is afflicted with wavy lines for some reason.

[MarcMorris]

Sounds like you should get Sky to fix it!

Or it could be to do with this-

Yes, I'm afraid that Sky appear to be attempting to dissuade people from offair taping. All the channels are affected with this interference on the picture, not just the Sky channels.

Simply Movies are showing the 1968 film DUFFY, starring James Fox and co-written by Donald Cammell, who teamed up again for PERFORMANCE, at 11.45 tonight, with another showing at 3.30 a.m.

It will be interesting to see if they screen the uncut version. The copy I got from TNT a few months ago was sadly slightly cut. Great film though!

[tobiaswragg]

Yeah, I actually vaguely remember it from a Saturday night showing on ITV when I was about 9 or 10, looking forward to seeing it again.

John Frankenheimer's rarely shown The Horsemen is on Simply Movies at the moment & this afternoon.Hopefully as they seem to be Columbia films a screening of Corruption is a possibilty in the future.

Bit late now, but last night the paranormal channel showed a cracking Xmas double bill with DON'T OPEN 'TIL CHRISTMAS and YOU BETTER WATCH OUT. Nice!

The print quality of DON'T OPEN was abysmal but YBWO was in great shape and, considering it carried the film's original title rather than CHRISTMAS EVIL, I reckon it may have been the same print that Synapse used for their US DVD release a while back...

Christopher Lee is on the Alan Titchmarsh Show now!!!

[finishominis]

Jonathan Ross just mentioned Mario Bava on the Baftas. No-one got the reference...

Channel 4 tonight at 2:35 Martin McDonagh's (In Bruges) short film Six Shooter.

[D'Amato lives!]

Recently released on DVD through a subdivision of Network, the Stanley Long directed 'West End Jungle' is on this coming Saturday 11th April, 10:20pm - 11:15pm on BBC4.

Banned when made in 1961, this documentary offers a comprehensive insight into the history and seedy reality of the sex industry in London's Soho. Examining the consequences of the introduction of the Street Offences Act in 1959, which until then had seen as many as 10,000 prostitutes line the streets and alleys of Soho with nothing more than a deterrent of a small fine, the film explains what happened after those streets were cleaned up and how the industry changed.

Robert Hartford - Davis' The Fiend is showing next Friday on BBC2 at 2.55. Wonder will the Beeb show the uncut version again?

Taped it on the off chance but no - it was the cut version.

[Mark Y]

Thought it would be. I think the uncut showing was a one-off and it wasn't on BBC was it?
