China's first animated feature film, Humphrey Bogart as a drunk klansman and Robert Hardy with barely concealed incestuous urges. It can only mean one thing... another episode of Midnight Video has entered the iSphere.
Princess Iron Fan is China's first major commercial contribution to the world of animated feature films and derives from the moralistic tales found within the great Chinese tome; Journey To The West.
Humphrey Bogart plays a disillusioned blue collar worker in Black Legion who becomes a slave to the bottle and a rather dubious 'club' who model themselves on the Ku Klux Klan.
And Hammer studios' Demons Of The Mind sees Robert Hardy turned up to 11 as the pater familias of an aristocratic family with dark secrets.

Show 23 sees us brave Arctic conditions and forced baptisms in the Euro-Russian helmed The Red Tent before we swap our furs for Trilbys and red wigs in the post-apocalyptic Radioactive Dreams and then we round things off with an unusual take on time travel in The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey.
