She is insatiably hungry her sister seems scared of her and her parents whisper behind closed doors. When Triss wakes up after an accident, she knows that something is very wrong. 'Who do you think you are? This is my family.' 'What are you doing here?' It was uttered in tones of outrage and surprise, and in a voice as cold and musical as the clinking of cups. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened to speak. Slowly they swivelled, until their gaze was resting on Triss's face. The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Right now.'

6/20/2023 0 Comments Novel the war of the worlds![]() ![]() Literary purists may have baulked at the myriad of changes in this Technicolour-drenched adaptation of Wells’ novel (it updates the action from the late 19th century to 1953 and relocates it from Woking to, ahem, southern California), but there’s still much to enjoy in producer George Pal’s handsome, chilling epic. Even then, the episode helped birth the cult of Orson Welles, leading eventually to his move to Hollywood to make his magnum opus, Citizen Kane. Legend has it that the drama caused mass hysteria, though it appears much of that – the programme only had a modest listening audience – appears to be the result of over excited newspaper hacks. ![]() Ever-experimental with narrative form, Welles decided against a straight adaptation, choosing instead to present Wells’ story as a live radio news broadcast. Orson Welles was just 23 when he made headlines for his wildly controversial and radical take on his near-namesake’s literary classic. ![]() 6/20/2023 0 Comments A shade of magic![]() Unofficially, he’s also a smuggler, a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences-as proved when he stumbles into a setup with a forbidden token from Black London.
