The Mausoleum Club Forum

I much enjoyed the series Travelling Man when it first aired but for years afterwards was convinced it was called Lomax. It's funny how sometimes memory can be so wrong.

The fate of BBC4 was something I've been wondering about of late too, after recent talk of BBC3 being made into a proper channel again.

Just bookmark search.php?search_id=newposts :)

Thanks, but I was talking from a software design perspective.

If you're logged in, click on "Quick Links" in the top left-hand corner of the screen and it gives you a menu which includes "New Posts" and several other useful links. Thanks, that works fine. New site looks nice and fresh. Now that it takes two clicks instead of one to see new posts, I'm not sure...

There seems to be two versions of this floating about. Free Thinking clocking in at 47:59 and Arts & Ideas running to 55:36. Not sure what the difference is exactly.

They're also showing The Blue Parrot on Friday, the 12th of October. Though not a Hammer film, it stars Jacqueline Hill from some ten years prior to her more famous television role in you-know-Who.

Postby fatcat » Sat Jul 21, 2018 11:02 pm I think there was far too much Brian Clemens in Thriller and the Avengers too and (with his mate Terry Nation) his often rather annoying contempt for the audience in which he would rather recycle himself than give another writer a chance. Something that's a...

Swearing on television these days seems to be done more as a badge of credibility. Look at Westworld . The swearing in that always seems so forced to me. It's as if they have a minimum quota of F's that have to be fitted into each episode. Some of the cast do it so badly too, overemphasising the exp...

I pre-ordered Vols 1 + 2 of the new "Armchair Theatre Archive" series, and although Vol 2 has turned up, Vol 1 was not in the package. Do I need to be worried, or has Vol 2 come out ahead of Vol 1 ....? Hi, Stephen. Looking over at Roobarb's Forum, it seems you are not the only one. See here... htt...

Anyone received this from Network yet? i ordered mine Monday evening and it was apparently posted Tuesday but no sign of it yet. And Terrahawks 3, ordered afterwards in the sale, has just arrived. I had a similar problem when I ordered The Crunch and Other Stories a few weeks back. It didn't show u...

You're right. If they can do it with film sequences then it should be the same process with animation.

Shush! Don’t let technical knowledge get in the way of conspiratorial ignorance... Actually, it might still be a valid concern. If the "live" footage is at 50 frames then wouldn't it follow that the animation being spliced into it would also have to be? I don't really know how modern animation tech...

I'd say Cash on Demand is the pick of that bunch - cracking little thriller with Peter Cushing and Andre Morel. The Snorkel is quite a clever murder mystery, too. All three films are worth a shot - Hammer's non-Horror b-movie output of the late 50's/early 60s really was a class above most other sup...

I loved Blackstar. I used to feel like a child in a toy shop whenever I was browsing their site. My pre-order is with Zavvi too. EDIT: Someone on Roobarb's Forum has posted that Indicator/Powerhouse are planning four volumes in total. That's excellent news, especially if the sets all have a similar ...

This has just been passed by the BBFC so I expect a UK Blu-ray release is on the cards. Hopefully in episodic form rather than the spliced US version.

I've noticed that over the last two days Powerhouse Films have had the three following films passed by the BBFC: Cash on Demand (15/11/17) Never Take Sweets from a Stranger (15/11/17) The Snorkel (20/11/17) Despite the differing release dates, the fact that these are coming from Powerhouse Films mak...

Stumbled on this last night. It looks like Network have their own Marketplace area on Amazon called Timewarp Media. Anyway, they're selling the new Blu-ray of The World at War for £30 even though it's £59 on their own site. For anyone who's interested: The World at War Blu-ray sold by Timewarp Media

An interesting rumour...

I think their site may have actually crashed rather than just being slow. I was browsing their titles and it was slow and then it stopped responding completely (with error 502). Has anyone been able to see anything on there in the last couple of hours? I've seen the sale performance issues in the pa...

Although you'll have to give it back if the release ends up getting delayed!

I'm on a diet but thanks anyway.

Even if it did get delayed, I could live with that. I'm just glad it's finally on the radar at all.

It's been nearly a year since Network made the announcement about this BBC deal and at last Rockliffe's Babies looks set to appear. Amazon have it listed for for a May release.

Apparently, the Power animation is also getting a Blu-ray release in February which will include a colour version.

It was a nice mix of comedy and atmosphere, never taking itself too seriously but never descending into cheap laughs. Really enjoyed it - especially the little nods to other classic horror movies.

I remember being very fond of the theme to Bird of Prey, the Richard Griffiths series. Others I remember standing out were Poirot, Wexford and Jeeves and Wooster (was that the eighties?) and of course, Hill Street Blues.

I'm anticipating this with a mixture of excitement and dread. I just hope it has been done with some competence and is not a bunch of legless figures standing still with their eyes darting back and forth. I would like it to in some way live up to the tremendous soundtrack. I guess we shall see. I'm...

More good news on The Brothers front:

Series three in November and series four hot on its heels in January.

Hopefully, the rest of the series will continue at this pace.

No, it's an animated version (unfortunately). The BBC Store will be making episode one available for download on the 50th anniversary of its original broadcast and then each remaining episode on the following days.

Hopefully, they'll do a blu-ray release of World at War in the correct aspect ratio. Yes,the ratio problem with last release was very annoying, which Is why I didn't bother with it, so a decent set would be very welcome at last. ...and they've gone and done it!!!
