This week’s MASTERPIECE 50 is the Thames TV Serial DANGER UXB (1979) about bomb defusers in WW2. Acorn TV
11
The Mysterious Cities of Gold (1982) “Secrets of the Temple” English Dubbed. Fabulous DVD
Naruto Shippuden (2014) “The Day Naruto Was Born” English Dubbed. Viz Media DVD
ABC Weekend Special (1974) “Cyrano” Hanna-Barbera’s Animated special on Edmond Rostand’s play, with the voices of Jose Ferrer (reprising his Oscar role) and Joan Van Ark. The first Cyrano I ever watched (on Nickelodeon’s SPECIAL DELIVERY in 1987) and probably my first cartoon with a sad ending (the promo had a kid narrate the whole story- “and the cute guy dies, but not Cyrano…well…” being rather ambiguous about the ending). Warner Archive DVD.
Famous Classic Tales (1973) “The Three Musketeers.” Having done a Musketeer cartoon series for THE BANANA SPLITS, Hanna-Barbara had its Australian studio make an adaptation of the Dumas’ story with this animated TV special that only covers the Diamond plot. This also aired on Nickelodeon‘s SPECIAL DELIVERY c. Winter 1989 and was my first intro to the story. Warner Archive DVD.
12
The Slayers Next (1996) “A Big Crash! Battle at Artemy Tower” 25th Anniversary. Poor Zelgaldis. First he was forced to be an anchor. Then he had to sing a song. Now he has to dress up as a Bunny. Hilarity ensues. Japanese with English Subtitles Sculptor Software DVD
Jem and The Holograms (1986) “Starbright Part 2: Colliding Stars” 35th Anniversary Rhino DVD
Time Bandits (1981) 40th Anniversary this month. Terry Gilliam’s Time Travel adventure, with John Cleese, Sean Connery, David Warner, Katherine Helmand, Ralph Richardson, Michael Palin, Shelley Duvall, and Ian Holm (reprising his Napoleon from NAPOLEON IN LOVE adding a French Accent). First saw this in the early 1980s on the Movie channels. Got a refresher in 1993 when I was in Pythonmania. Paramount VHS
13
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1991) “Time of the Apes” 30th anniversary YouTube of Comedy Central Premiere Broadcast July 13 1991.
Legally Blonde (2001) 20th Anniversary Amazon Prime

16
The Mysterious Cities of Gold (1982) “Mystery of the Parents” English Dubbed. Fabulous DVD
The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1986) “The Priory School” 35th Anniversary. Filmed later, this episode became the second to be broadcast of the season. First saw this in late August 1992, my first to finally see Brett in the deerstalker for the whole episode (instead of flashback like in the previous EMPTY HOUSE). MPI Video DVD
The Devils (1971) 50th Anniversary Ken Russell’s controversial film on the Loudon possessions: a hotbed of sexual repression, religious hysteria, and political corruption. First read about it in 2007 from VIDEO WATCHDOG’s article on its history and cuts. Saw a fan edit DVD which incorporates the deleted “Rape of Christ” sequence (the hysterical sexually liberated nuns grab a giant anatomically correct cross and use it as a sex toy) a few months later. This is the certified X release on BFI Video PAL DVD
17
Hell on Earth: The Desecration and Resurrection of The Devils (2002) Documentary of the Russel film, hosted by Mark Kermode, with interviews by cast and crew (most of the surviving actors with exception of Gemma Jones). Slightly edited version. BFI Video PAL DVD
The Mysterious Cities of Gold (1982) “Estaban’s Medellion” English Dubbed. Fabulous DVD
Rurouni Kenshin (1996) “The Dissolution of a Nightmare!” 25th Anniversary Raijuta is defeated but the disillusioned Yutaro leaves Japan with the promise that he will join Karou’s dojo. The series’s epilogue will state he will return but with the exception of a filler Arc the character is pretty much absent. Japanese with English Subtitles. AnimeWorks/Media Blasters DVD.
