"Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen...and Ray! Well, it seems that we might be starting to come out of the doldrums - there were 66 releases last week, grossing $6,607 million. That takes our total gross so far to $40,209 million. As our target is $67,610 million that puts us at just under 60% of the way there and we are barely halfway through."
"The two missing apprentices have been apprehended by Security, their Green zone passes removed and forcibly ejected from the studio lot."
"We've got a busy day of releases ahead of us:
- MartinC has a trilogy of films, although with such a mish-mash of styles and types I can't see how that works
- DaveD takes us into the underhive of the far future, hopefully with permission of a notoriously litigious company based in Nottingham
- SimonG brings us a remake of season 2 of Spearhead
- SanderS has a live-action She-Ra film and one about squirrels on a hunting trip
- IanS continues his documentary series on the history of Russian nappies
- PeteF tells the tale of a very cold Elf
We may also have a rom-dram set during the Italian Wars from KerryT, and MattW promises us two films set in the Americas (one looks like a possible remake of Last of the Mohicans) and a documentary comparing casualty rates in Roman and Medieval wars."
"Keep up the good work everyone!"
Toodle-pip!

Ha ha thanks Tamsin - I must have missed that one as a teen growing up, probably as my parents didn’t like us watching TV on “commercial” channels! Strictly Beeb only for us 😀
ReplyDeleteTalking Pictures on Freeview sometimes repeats it - there were three seasons; season 1 in NI, season 2 in West Germany, season 3 in Hong Kong. I think it was only 6 episodes per season.
DeleteSounds like a great mix of films on the festival agenda today.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, and there's several high-grossing blockbusters in there too! :)
DeleteHave a good one
ReplyDeleteWill do - all the "ready" posts have been minioned so I can take a break for now! :)
Deletesorry so many posts, will post less next time, as I'm ill
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you're under the weather! No problem about multiple posts, especially as they were all points-bombs! :)
DeleteToday no submissions from me, at least you'll have some free time; I've been very busy all last week unfortunately. But will try to compensate next Tuesday ;-) And as usual, many-many thanks for taking care, Tamsin
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, Benito - the others have kept me very busy! :)
DeleteLooks like a busy day. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt has been rather busy, and sooooo many points-bombs! :)
DeleteThanks Tamsin, I made it in after midnight NZ time last night so did not add a map as I didn't want to risk Mrs VB's wrath by staying up even later. I have 4 green studios and now one blue but promise to bring a map next time
ReplyDeleteNo worries - best to keep the missus happy! I'll look forward to the map next week! :)
DeleteLove your work Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Millsy! :)
