Jane Seymour
Frankenstein: The True Story (1974)
Sep 5, 2002Frankenstein Adaptation
The ‘true story’ bit is contentious but this tv mini-series was the first production to take the Frankenstein story back to the way Mary Shelley told it. Lavishly produced and with a fantastic cast
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977)
Jul 15, 2002Arabian Nights Adventure
The third of Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad films, this came out the same year as Star Wars and Harryhauden's stop-motion animated creatures look much more flat in comparison
Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Oct 27, 2013Jack the Ripper Killings/TV Mini-Series
TV mini-series made to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Jack the Ripper killings. The publicity claimed to uncover new evidence and, while the show adheres more to the facts of the case of any filmed work up to that point, the script only makes a beeline for the sensationalistic aspects and should more properly be considered fiction
Quest for Camelot (1998)
Jan 7, 2006Animation/Arthurian Fantasy
An Arthurian legends fantasy adventure made as part of the animation renaissance of the 1990s. Anything serious aspirations are wrecked by the insertion of inane popular culture in-jokes
The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell (2006)
May 8, 2025Gonzo Post Holocaust

Becoming Bond (2017)
Jun 16, 2017George Lazenby Documentary
Documentary about George Lazenby, the former male model who scored the role of James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and then abruptly quit. Lazenby proves a highly entertaining raconteur and his life story is eye-opening to say the very least
