Another excellent scene from Les Miserables 1967 relating to the Les Mis Letters for today, this time from episode 3. I love how 67 focuses on that Fantine becomes a prostitute through legal means, and how that automatically makes her lesser and more watched in the eyes of the law. Javert is perfectly cold here, and it’s just such a good take. I really like the foreshadowing of how he will react once she actually does get in trouble. The first half of 1967 is such a wonderful adaptation (the head screenwriter died halfway through writing it, and the later episodes are...less good due to that.)

Play for Today: Psy-Warriors (BBC, 1981)
"A bomb scare at Aldershot. I see. Attributed to the Provisional IRA."
"They haven't claimed responsibility."
"What if the bomb had gone off?"
"Then the Provisional IRA would've claimed responsibility. Well, why not, eh? We help keep the terrorist's cause in the public eye and the terrorist helps us justify the need for greater security. What's called a symbiotic relationship, I believe."

I’ll get it back, and if any of it’s missing, I’ll replace it with her fine, soft flesh!
I hope they are watching. They’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know, and they’ll say, ‘Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly.’
PSYCHO (1960) dir. Alfred Hitchcock

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Which Explains How Javert got on the Scent, LM 2.5.10 (Les Miserables 1967)
At daybreak he left two intelligent men on the outlook, and returned to the Prefecture of Police, as much ashamed as a police spy who had been captured by a robber might have been.

The Saint: The House on Dragon's Rock (6.9, ITC, 1968)
"It's a monster from another planet. All them satellites tampering with nature."
"Don't talk so daft, man."
"Same again, Dylan."
"It's, um... it's lycanthropy."
"Duw, there's a lovely word. What's it mean, then?"

SPOILERS incoming for a 55 yr old tv show: (you were warned)#yes it's a classic Giant Ant Episode. quite how a relatively straightforward series about a playboy adventurer got to this point is almost#beyond comprehension‚ but here we are. Simon's in Wales (depicted as a land of superstitious peasant farmers and rolling mists to nobody's#surprise‚ alas) and he's investigating mysterious goings on. the source? i mean i already said‚ it's a goddamn giant ant. pity poor Anthony#Bate‚ a genuinely brilliant actor‚ here somehow delivering monologues about the supremacy of the ant with a straight face. pity poor dear#Annette Andre‚ menaced unconvincingly by a single mandible and expected to cry tears of fear. don't pity Roger Moore who inexplicably took#on directing duties as well as starring for this ep; he does his best (lots of handheld camera and interesting transitions) but you just#can't get past the giant ant (sometimes a puppet‚ usually superimposed) and the sheer lunacy of the plot#network and some online sources place this at the start of s5 but in the uk it was definitely not shown until halfway through s6#perhaps someone had the good sense to sit on it until the crew were truly out of fucks to give...
