70: Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971) – Hammer Horror – Dir. Seth Holt – Valerie Leon, Andrew Keir & James Villiers

Hammer Horror delivered one of its finest 1970s films with Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, despite a notoriously cursed production. This 1971 British release is the studio's fourth and final Mummy film, loosely adapted by Christopher Wicking from Bram Stoker's 1903 novel The Jewel of Seven Stars. Crucially, it remains the only entry in the franchise where a physical mummy never actually appears.The trouble began early when a gap in the studio schedule forced the film into premature production. Wicking wanted to keep Stoker's original book title, but James Carreras refused, leading to a brainstorming session that birthed Blood from the Mummy's Tomb – a title Wicking never expected them to use. Wicking also clashed with producer Howard Brandy and was barred from the set, forcing him to work with director Seth Holt secretly in the evenings. Brandy later claimed the script was unshootable and heavily rewritten by Holt. Brandy also wanted to cast Amy Grant, but Sir James Carreras insisted on Valerie Leon.Tragedy struck five weeks into the six-week shoot when Seth Holt suffered a fatal heart attack on set, collapsing into the arms of actor Aubrey Morris. Michael Carreras tried to recruit Don Sharp to finish the film, but Sharp was committed to a project in Israel. Michael Carreras ultimately directed the final week himself, later noting that Holt's footage did not cut together well, forcing them to salvage what they could.Valerie Leon shines in the dual roles of Margaret Fuchs and Queen Tera. Beyond her famous Hai Karate aftershave adverts and seven Carry On appearances – including Carry On Christmas: Carry On Stuffing – Leon delivered a critically praised performance but clashed with the studio. She was deeply upset when producers denied her time off to attend Holt's funeral, and her refusal to perform a nude scene required a body double. Hammer never hired her again. Her career later included roles alongside two different James Bonds, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.The supporting cast features incredible British character talent. James Villiers plays Corbeck, George Coulouris plays Berigan, and Aubrey Morris features as Doctor Putnum. Morris was described by Jeremy Brett to Noël Coward as the finest small-part player in London, boasting roles in The Wicker Man, A Clockwork Orange, and as the bubble-bathing B-Ark captain in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Rosalie Crutchley plays Helen Dickerson. James Cossins brings his trademark blustering authority to the role of an abusive psychiatric nurse, and a young Anthony Head makes an uncredited appearance.Andrew Keir plays Julian Fuchs, stepping in after Peter Cushing completed just one day of filming before leaving due to his wife's emphysema diagnosis. Keir's presence links back to our Quatermass and the Pit reviews, Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., and Cleopatra alongside Richard Burton. The film is elevated by a brilliant electronic score by Tristram Ogilvie Cary, the pioneer who founded EMS, created the VCS 3 synthesiser, and composed the music for the first Doctor Who Dalek serial.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

In deze aflevering van Alweer een Podcast hebben Henk en Jelmer het over boeken, humor en de moderne mens die vooral heel graag intelligent gevonden wil worden. Van mensen die met moeilijke romans in de trein zitten zonder ooit verder te komen dan pagina drie, tot TikTok-influencers die literatuur behandelen alsof het een lipgloss is.Henk vertelt waarom The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy nog steeds een van de grappigste boeken ooit is, hoe Tolkien via een onverwachte omweg zijn woonkamer binnenwandelde, en waarom goede humor tegenwoordig bijna strafbaar lijkt. Ondertussen ontspoort het gesprek zoals altijd richting clownpaniek in Oude Pekela, falende journalisten, Fred Siebelink, horloges, oplichters op internet en de wonderlijke overtuiging van moderne mensen dat alles wat hen beledigt verboden moet worden.Kortom: een vrolijke wandeling langs verdwijnende humor, uitstervende nieuwsgierigheid en een samenleving die steeds minder kan hebben. Gelukkig kunnen Henk en Jelmer dat nog wel. Voorlopig.

Are you entering into the dungeon? In this episode of Mere Mortals Book Reviews, I dive into 'Dungeon Crawler Carl' by Matt Dinniman, a fast-paced RPG romp that mixes real-world apocalypse with game-show chaos. I share why this was the perfect palate cleanser after some drier reads, how the humour lands (crude, clever and consistently fun) and what makes Carl and his imperious feline companion Princess Donut so engaging as they descend through deadly, rule-laden dungeons watched by an intergalactic audience.I touch on the book's setup: Earth flattened and repurposed into a subterranean dungeon, humans given a stark choice to enter or struggle topside and reflect on the “would you go in?” dilemma. Expect comparisons to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in premise vibe (but with very different humour), thoughts on the world-building quirks, and where I'm at with committing to a six-book series. Final verdict: a brisk, entertaining read that hit the spot for escapist fun 7.5/10 and I'm keen for book number two.If you got value from the podcast please provide support back in any way you best see fit!Timeline:(00:00:00) Intro(00:03:41) Carl and Princess Donut(00:06:08) Gags, dry vs absurd humour and running jokes(00:08:43) Would you enter the dungeon?

We live in a "post-truth" world where reality is often bent to fit personal emotions, beliefs, or convenience. But the festival of Shavuot stands as a powerful reminder of the exact opposite. This Shavuot, as we celebrate the giving of the Torah, we are celebrating a timeless anchor in a shifting world. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody".

American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien.

In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah.

Slipback: A Historical Curiosity from the Hiatus

John and Jim tackle the first official Doctor Who radio drama - a six-part Eric Saward production that aired during the 18-month hiatus between Seasons 22 and 23. This marks a rare occasion where John experiences a Doctor Who story for the very first time alongside the review. Production Background: John shares fascinating details about how "Slipback" came to exist - written and produced in just four months as the BBC scrambled to placate fans during the controversial hiatus. The story aired as part of a children's summer show called "Pirate Radio 4," buried within hours of other programming. Discussion covers whether this was originally meant to be a different format, Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant's participation, and the mysterious uncredited director. The Infamous Computer Voice: The hosts immediately address the elephant in the room - Jane Carr's polarizing performance as the ship's computer. Jim shares his visceral reaction while John explores the apparent Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy influences and whether the voice was intentionally annoying or a misguided creative choice. Too Much of Everything: John and Jim examine Eric Saward's tendency to cram multiple Doctor Who tropes into one story - wandering corridors, separated companions, time travel experiments, the Big Bang, creepy aliens pursuing Peri, and more. Discussion explores whether Saward was given too little time or simply couldn't resist throwing in every idea he had. Technical Curiosities: The hosts discuss the slightly sped-up audio on YouTube versions, the quality of the production values, and how the performances hold up. They debate whether this was specifically written for children despite some mature content. Historical Significance: As the first official BBC radio drama and a true product of Colin Baker's era (alongside "A Fix with Sontarans"), the hosts examine what this means for completists and whether it deserves modern appreciation. Ratings: The hosts land on the lower end of their scale, with discussion about whether it's worth an hour of listeners' time and comparisons to the Star Wars Holiday Special as "another appearance by these actors during the original run." Listener Perspective: Jameson shares his 2022 review calling it a "historical curiosity" that doesn't stand up to Big Finish productions, sparking discussion about whether Big Finish should revisit and revise the concept. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive (Monday - Episode 160): More theme music, Memory TARDIS, and the beginning of the Alan McKenzie era of Doctor Who comics with "War Game" and "Fun House." Patreon Exclusive (Friday): John and Jim's deep dive into the missing/planned Season 23 - examining the six stories that were scrapped when the hiatus was announced, discussing what could have worked, and where to find them in expanded media. Main Feed: Classic Patreon episodes released for non-subscribers during Jim's vacation.

At first glance, they seem like harmless traditions—random acts of expression or local rituals. But the deeper you go, the more unsettling the pattern becomes.   From rural backroads in the United States to historic parks in England, shoe trees appear in places that share one thing in common: an atmosphere that feels just slightly off.   Joe shares his firsthand experiences visiting a real shoe tree near Whitmore Lake—a location that carries an eerie presence you can't fully explain unless you've stood beneath it yourself. What starts as curiosity quickly turns into something more unsettling, as repeated visits reveal subtle changes, unexplained sensations, and a lingering feeling that something isn't quite right.   The episode then crosses the Atlantic to explore the infamous Heaton Shoe Tree, located in Armstrong Park. This sycamore tree, covered in shoes, has become both a local curiosity and a source of disturbing folklore. While many claim it's just a long-standing tradition, others insist there's something darker tied to the land itself—something older than the park.   Through immersive storytelling, Joe and Jennifer present multiple chilling accounts, including:   A runner who claims his missing shoe appeared in the tree overnight A dog walker who heard movement in the branches above her And unsettling encounters that blur the line between coincidence and something far more mysterious   The episode also features three original, cinematic horror stories:   The Farmhouse Tree – where children disappear and their shoes reappear in a remote tree The Hitchhiker's Stop – a roadside encounter that leaves behind more than just fear The Collector – a disturbing theory about someone—or something—gathering shoes as more than souvenirs   But beyond the stories, Joe and Jennifer break down the phenomenon in a "Real vs. Legend" analysis, exploring both logical explanations and deeper paranormal possibilities. Are shoe trees simply the result of human behavior and social imitation? Or could they be locations where energy, memory, or intention builds over time?   This episode explores the psychology of fear, the symbolism of personal objects, and the unsettling idea that some places don't just hold memories—they collect them.   If you've ever passed a tree full of shoes and felt something you couldn't explain… you're not alone.

The Secret of the Omer - Parshat Emor

The Torah commands us to count the days from Pesach to Shavuos. We call this Sefirat HaOmer. Yet the name is puzzling. The Omer was a one-time barley offering brought in the temple on the second day of Pesach. Why define this entire period of counting by a one-time korban? Wouldn't it be more precise to call it: "The Count to Shavuos?" Parshat Kedoshim is filled not with ethereal ideas, but with practical mitzvos: honesty in business, respect for others, sensitivity, restraint. Because once a person internalizes that Hashem fills all reality, holiness is no longer something distant—it becomes something imminent and immediate. Acharei Mos leads to Kedoshim.  In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976).

Parshat Kedoshim is filled not with ethereal ideas, but with practical mitzvos: honesty in business, respect for others, sensitivity, restraint.

One of the most difficult things in davening, praying, is when we say the Shema, and we pronounce Hashem's Name, we are meant to think: He is the Creator of everything. Not just the Earth, not just the solar system, the universe - everything. Beyond. And beyond the beyond. Now this isn't an easy thing to imagine.

Extraordinary Creatives
Disaster as a Gift: The Long Game of Creativity with John Lloyd

Extraordinary Creatives

Welcome to the 200th episode of Extraordinary Creatives: two hundred conversations with artists, thinkers, makers and cultural leaders about the strange, beautiful, often messy reality of building a creative life. And I couldn't imagine a better guest to mark this moment than the brilliant John Lloyd CBE. One of the great creative architects behind some of the most loved comedy formats of the past fifty years. He began at the BBC in the 1970s and helped create programmes that have become cultural landmarks: The News Quiz, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder, Spitting Image, and the long-running curiosity engine that is QI.  Along the way he co-wrote the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series with Douglas Adams, directed the iconic Genesis “Land of Confusion” video, and has won more BAFTAs than almost anyone alive. But what struck me most, isn't just the scale of his career, it's the way he thinks about creativity itself. John talks openly about the difficult things that shaped him and the strange truth that some of the most uncomfortable moments in life later reveal themselves as gifts.  He reminds us that every creative life includes adversity, and that the ability to transform those experiences into fuel - into insight, humour, empathy or invention – is what stops artists giving up. John is a powerful reminder that great ideas take time. Some of his shows took years to get made. Whether you're a writer, artist, musician - or simply someone trying to make meaningful work  - there is wisdom in this conversation. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we stay with an idea long enough - clearing away the sand, listening more deeply than we speak - what looks ordinary begins to reveal its own quiet, astonishing shape. There are two selves. There's the little yaky person in your head - then there's the true self, which only arrives when you're in the zone, when you're in the state of flow. The heartbreaks, the projects that fall apart - those “disasters” become compost, feeding the work we were actually meant to make. BEST MOMENTS “Creativity is like archaeology. You shovel mountains of sand… and eventually you uncover the sphinx.” “Ideas appear. The difference with creative people is they notice them.” “Deep listening means you're paying attention with not just your ears, with your whole body.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/johnlloydqi https://www.qi.com HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.
