Day 1 of Disney’s second wave of layoffs is impacting ABC and Freeform’s senior programming ranks and Disney Television Studios’ music operations.
Respected development executive Julie Jarmon, in her second stint at Freeform as SVP development, is departing, with development and current consolidated under Jamila Hunter, EVP of original programming and development.
Stacey Adams, ABC’s SVP, Current Programming, who has been leading the network’s drama current team, is departing. Head of drama Brianna Bennett, who has been spearheading development, will now also take over current. (ABC head of comedy Erin Wehrenberg already has been handling both development and current).
Over the past couple of decades, networks have gone multiple times back-and-forth between having standalone current programming departments and combining them with development.

Arthur Henry Ward was born in Birmingham in 1883—at the age of 20 he adopted the pen name of Sax Rohmer, specializing in standard issue crime fiction and otherworldly tales of terror. In 1912 he folded both genres into one sinister figure from the East, a so-called “devil doctor” named Fu Manchu. The book covers alone were xenophobic horror shows and if there was any doubt the stories themselves were wildly racist, the author confirmed it in the description of his star villain: “the Yellow Peril incarnate in one man.”
An authority on philosophy, medicine, and idiosyncratic torture devices, Manchu made his debut in The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu which was quickly followed by The Return of Dr.

With Christmas 1970 on the horizon, the UK’s thrilling new sci-fi TV show UFO was well underway. Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's first live-action series, it was set in the future and revolved around the activities of the Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation (Shado), a covert agency presided over by Commander Ed Straker (Ed Bishop) to fend off alien attacks on mankind. As a wide-eyed 8-year-old I was hooked and I can recall wishing two things. One was that I could have one of the Dinky Toys’ missile-firing Shado Interceptors, which I thought then (and still think now) was the coolest among the incredible array of vehicles that appeared in the show; I’d not be nearly as forgiving today as I was back then that Dinky had manufactured it in garish green, where the ‘real’ ones on TV were white. The other wish was that I...

★★★★☆ For over 30 years, the Children's Film Foundation produced short films to keep younger audiences entertained in a time before television and computers. The second volume of the BFI's collection of Cff titles, The Race is On, features one of the organisation's favourites - Sammy's Super T-Shirt (1980), directed by Jeremy Summers - as well as Soapbox Derby (1957), an early production directed by Darcy Conyers, and Ealing director Charles Frend's bizarre entry, The Sky Bike (1967). First up is Soapbox Derby, which sees Peter (a young Michael Crawford), leader of 'The Battersea Bats', building a state-of-the-art go-kart to enter a local contest.

House Of A Thousand Dolls
Stars: Vincent Price, Sancho Gracia, Herbert Fux, George Nader, Martha Hyer | Written by María del Carmen Martínez Román, Harry Alan Towers | Directed by Jeremy Summers
With a title like House of a Thousand Dolls, Vincent Price starring and an opening scene featuring a horse drawn hearse you would be forgiven for thinking that the film is horror based. You soon find out that this is not the case but it may at least be paying a cheeky homage to its iconic star. The fact is though that House of a Thousand Dolls is a very different beast.
While vacationing in the Tangiers a couple meet an old friend searching for his missing girlfriend who is believed to have been kidnapped by a group of slave traders. When the friend is killed the couple are dragged into investigating both the death and kidnapping which appears to...
