death tribble

A Hitch in Time This is a Children's Film Foundation film about two kids who discover a professor working on a time machine. The professor is played by Patrick Troughton who used to be Dr Who. The kids end up going backwards in time and then back to the present. They keep running into the young girl's ancestors and the ancestors of the history teacher. Not that bad. Spearhead Season 2 The soldiers are in West Germany with the change of cast explained by changes in military personnel. Again there is a down side throughout the series. A corporal's marriage has problems as the wife is pregnant by another man; a sergeant gets involved with a woman who escaped from East Germany and might be a spy; private Stevens revels the reason he is angry all the time is that his wife left him taking his son; private Stevens gets news that his son has been killed and he commits suicide; the new lieutenant rescues a man from no-man's land between East and West who later dies and private Adams father visits his son after his mother has died and they go to the Belsen memorial which was quite affecting. The last episode ses the soldiers back in Northern Ireland where they lose one of their number and the IRA booby trap the body when it is found. Maigret Maigret and the Princess. A diplomat dies and Maigret gets called in to investigate. He had a lifelong platonic relationship with a princess and so the government want to close the case and examine his letters. His relations are examined but Maigret works out that the man committed suicide and his housekeeper covered it up so that he could get a Christian burial. Maigret At all Lengths. A note is delivered to the police saying a fortune teller will be killed and it happens. Maigret investigates and finds a web leading to a fraud and blackmail. Maigret's Failure. An old school mate of Maigret asks to see him but Maigret is lukewarm as he did not like him. The day after the man is dead and Maigret tries to find out who done it and why. The outcome is different to the Rupert Davies version but the killer is the same. Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula Rudolph Martin who played Ari in NCIS plays Dracula and it looks at his life from his birth until the Turks killed him. This looks at Tepes and has him trying to explain himself to the Eastern Church as he sided with the King of Hungary who was Catholic and is played by Roger Daltrey. Not bad,. Black Widow Van Heflin, George Raft and Ginger Rogers in an investigation of a Broadway producer after a young woman writer kills herself in the producer's apartment. Except she was pregnant and was murdered. But as the producer did not kill her who did ? The Death of Adolf Hitler This was made for TV and looks at the last days of Hitler as the Russians close in and those closest to him abandon him. Only Eva stays loyal. Frank Finley plays Hitler. Well worth seeing if you get the chance, This was made in 1973. A later version which Anthony Hopkins was made in 1981 The Black Velvet Band A group of thieves try to steal the Crown Jewels, are caught and then transported for life. They escape off the coast of South Africa and flee inwards chased by the army people who were escorting them. The thieves clash with Dutch settlers and make an ally of a Royal bastard. One of their number is killed but they manage to escape north of the river to safety. Offerings A child is bullied by his peers and pushed down a well. Years afterwards he suddenly awakens and leaves the hospital to take revenge on the kids who hurt him. For a cheap feature, it is not that bad. Avalanche An impending avalanche causes a village to be evacuated. This includes an English teacher and the orphans he is looking after. But one of the village child ren goes back for her dog leading other children to go after her and then some of the adults including the teacher. This is billed as a kids film but is not bad. Amityville 1992 It's About Time This time the evil comes in the form of the clock which is infected with the evil. There were a couple of faces that were recognisable in the cast but I would watch it for Shawn Weatherley who was in Baywatch. Wrestlemania 33 The New Day were the hosts for the event and this was important for one of the matches that came up. First off came A J Styles vs Shane McMahon which was about the poor booking he was getting Next Jericho fought Kevin Owens for the United States championship. This was the culmination of the Jericho and Owens friendship story and Owens ended up winning The RAW Women's championship was contested next. Bayley was holding on to the championship against Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks. This was a fatal fourway match with Jax eliminated first, then Banks and finally Bayley pinned Flair. This was followed by the RAW tag team titles match. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson as champions had to defend against Cesaro and Sheamus and Enzo Amore and Big Cass. Then the New Day announced that another team was being added. So it was them, yes ? No ! It was the returning Hardy Boys who went on to win. John Cena and Nikki Bella then took on The Miz and his wife Maryse. The latter had been parodying the former which led to them fighting at Wrestlemania. The match ended with Nikki and John pinning their respective opponents. And then John proposed to Nikki in the ring. The non sanctioned match had the returning Seth Rollins taking on Triple H. Seth had been injured and had been 'betrayed' by Triple H. He was therefore able to defeat him. Bray Wyatt then took on Randy Orton. Wyatt was WWE Champion and Orton beat him. Goldberg and Brock Lesner then clashed for the WWE Universal title which Brock then won. Alexa Bliss was then defending the Smackdown Women's championship against Naomi, Mickie James, Becky Lynch, Natalya and Carmella. Naomi picked up the win on Alexa. The last match was Roman Reigns taking on the Undertaker with the former winning and supposedly retiring the Undertaker who left his signature clothes in the ring. This was a good match. The preshow matches were the Andre the Giant Battle Royale which Mojo Rawley won, Neville vs Austin Aries which Neville won and Baron Corbin vs Dean Ambrose which Dean won. Lastly there was the 2017 Hall of Fame with Diamond Dallas Page, The Rock and Roll Express, Ravishing Rick Rude, Beth Phoenix, Eric LeGrand, Teddy Long and Kurt Angle as the Inductees. Wrestlemania 38 This again was a two day event. The USOs took on Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs for teh Smackdown Tag Team championships withe the USOs retaining Next Drew McIntyre defeated Happy Corbin which was to be expected. The Miz and Logan Paul then took on Rey and Dominick Mysterio. The former won and then The Miz turned on Logan Paul. Bianca Belair then took on Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship and won it. Seth Rollins was then taking on an opponent of Mr McMahon's choosing and this was the returning Cody Rhodes who beat him. Charlotte Flair then took on the winner of the Royal Rumble Rinda Rousey and actually defeated her. There was a triple threat match for the RAW tag team championship between RKBro (Orton and Riddle), the Street Profits and Alpha Academy. The Champions RKBro retained In a battle of the big men Bobby Lashley defeated Omos Next up was the comedy match Johnny Knoxville (and his colleagues) vs Sami Zayn. This was won by Zayn getting trapped in a giant mousetrap. The Women's tag team match was next with Naomi and Sasha Banks taking on Queen Zelina and Carmella, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley and Natalya and Shayna Bazler. Naomi and Sasha won the belts. A J Styles and Edge the clashed with the latter winning Sheamus and Ridge Holland then took on The New Day and beat them. The 2022 Hall of Fame class was introduced and the inductees especially the Undertaker were thanked by the crowd. The announcer Pat Macafee was then fighting Austin Theory under the eyes of Mr MacMahon. After Pat won then a match was made for Pat vs Mr MacMahon with Austin interfering to ensure Mr MacMahon won. The two main matches were on the last disc and this was Steve Austin taking on Kevin Owens on an episode pf the KO show and Austin had an enjoyable stomping of him. Lastly there was the main match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesner. Each had a title belt and it was winner takes all. Reigns won. The last item was the Undertaker's induction from the Hall of Fame. There was nothing else from the Hall of Fame which was a tad surprising. During the match build ups we were also treated to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
