I wonder if the Jungle Book thing might be a bit iffy for us snowflakes? How about the Greek one next, and the Jungle Book afterwards, if you want to watch the Greek one. What is it, anyway? |

This cartoon is still pretty good. I can suggest something else, of course. On the other way, Anne is fine with it. Is there a happier story you could suggest? |

Right, I'm off. I don't fancy anything where cartoon animals kill each other in Russian. Still think CB had some good suggestions...if only I could remember what they were. 'Remember that your sole purpose in life Is to act as a warning to others' (Les Barker, from 'The Verb to Be) (Also 'Never stand between the dog and the lamp-post'  .Agreed. I hate animal deaths in films. El Greek isles for me. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Vere Lorrimer produced 'Dark Side of the Sun' in the early 80s. Mystery/thriller set on Rhodes. Klegg's in it. Written by the bloke who did 'The Lotus Eaters', 'Who Pays the Ferryman?' and 'The Aphrodite Inheritance'. |

I hate animal deaths in films. El Greek isles for me. If we go Greek, we could slot in Tai's wild swans straight after. Let's give the Greek series a go for a couple of weeks - if it's not up to scratch, we can always bale out. (It's 6 eps in all.) Edited by Cygnus Bazza on 24-09-2026 19:48 |

I'm sure the Soviets would outdo Walt. Fine. I guess, I am fine with that, because this is one of the cartoons from my childhood. As for Wild Swans, it is happier than the original story. |

What's the children's ghost story called? I may have seen it. The Clifton House Mystery Ah, then I haven't. But I do live in a part of York called Clifton. Are you in a house? If so, bound to be the same one. I doubt it. 2-up, 2-down terraced houses are rarely the setting for ghost stories. You haven't been to my house... I'm not saying that they might not have ghosts - only that it's the posher ghosts that get the tv gigs! |

By the way, Bagheera is female for two reasons. First, the word panther is feminine in Russian. Second, Bagheera sounds like female name for us. |

Right, I think a sort-of plan may have emerged from the smog. We'll be eating Greek next week. Tzatziki on standby. |

It sounds like a female name to me too - but I think that in the book he's male. Kaa the snake is a much more positive character in the book. |
