Royal ancestors feel the wrath of the curse of the condemned witch Mad Dolly, who spews forth her prophecy while she is burned at the stake. The victims suffer death by having their heads removed in various fashions, getting their limbs caught in animal traps, knife wounds, and other methods of medieval torture. Written by Ørnås
This got a late Friday night screening on BBC2 recently. Who negotiated that deal, Mr. Warren?.
And apart from an excruciating synth score by one Ivor Slaney (who also draped his dubious doodlings all over Norman's 'Prey'), it was pretty much all good.
Sexy stage-trained actresses never to be heard from again? Present and correct, sir.
On-the-hoof shots of Soho at night? Tick.
Strangely antiseptic sequences of murder and mayhem? You betcha.
Look out for Dirty Dave McGillivray cameoing as a TV reporter, Peter 'Chewbacca' Mayhew deathlessly intoning "You want a mechanic?". And Milton Reid throwing a Greek out of a nightclub.
