Understandable about the nudity and AMC. In my version those scenes are dubbed in French, with English subtitles!

I have seen this on AMC before and it has neither the nudity nor the color scene.

In the early hours of Wednesday, AMC is playing the 1959 film Jack the Ripper. Nothing to get too excited about.

But, as far as Jack the Ripper films go, this one has an interesting history. At least 3 versions were released of this one, the US version, a British version and the 'Continental'. The 'Continental' does not have a colorized blood ending and contains a fair amount of full-frontal nudity.

Guess which one I own...

Ah! Lord Boozby, him of Mars Bar fame.

It should be interesting, especially if Marianne Faithful is on the programme.

Monday Night, Channel 4, UK, 21.00,
The Gangster and the Perverted Peer...

The show is on the same time as Whitechapel on ITV, so it can be viewed on Channel 4, plus 1!

Not to be confused with numerous similarly named other movies, SCIFI is playing Borderland tomorrow morning. This is an excellent film based on the Matamoros cult murders. I hope TV editing doesn't turn it into the cinematic version of sex with a condom.

The color remake of Psycho is on AMC this evening. I didn't really have as big a problem with it as some did.

Conversations with a Serial Killer....

Conversations With A Serial Killer, starts Tuesday, 4th November at 10pm.

Conversations With A Serial Killer, traces the lives of some of the most fascinating serial killers of our time through a blend of documentary, archive material, eye-witness accounts and, putting the unique LIVING twist on the crime genre, also paranormal investigation. This show is a must for Most Haunted fans or anyone with an interest in true crime stories and serial killers.

The series hopes to open up a spiritual dialogue with deceased infamous murderers who have terrified and fascinated people for years, as well as documenting their lives and investigating the influences upon their earthly existences.

Each episode will feature British investigative journalist Julie MacDonald and American psychic medium and ex cop, Bobby Marchesso. They will look into the lives of one infamous serial killer per episode, tracing their lives and attempting to spiritually communicate with these tortured souls, perhaps haunting the locations they frequented when they were alive. Julie and Bobby will track the lives of serial killers Ted Bundy, Aileen Wurnos, Albert DeSalvo (The Boston Strangler), John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Trenton Chase, Belle Gunness and Charles Starkweather, visiting the locations where these renowned serial killers lived, worked and preyed on their victims.

The journey across America offers compelling, yet terrifying, insight into the most complicated killers in history, accessing those who knew them, feared them and caught them. Exposing the dark side of America the team searches for the spirits of these horrific butchers, whose names still haunt the world and have become synonymous with their crimes. There will also be first-hand accounts from surviving victims, psychologists, school teachers, criminologists and psychologists to help understand what made these killers tick.

This is a fascinating series that will have you spooked from beginning to end.

Conversations With A Serial Killer: Ted Bundy, starts Tuesday, 4th November at 10pm.

Next Saturday, Sex and Lies in Sin City about the Ted Binion murder premiers on TV. It's a Lifetime Channel movie so don't get you hopes set too high.

TruTV right now is doing the California Zodiac Case on Haunting Evidence. I imagine it will be replayed later tonight.

I see that the Unsolved Mysteries program is playing every weekday afternoon/evening for two hours on Spike TV now. It looks like new graphics, new host, new narrator and old segments with some updates. A great show with some classic unsolved cases although I don't think JTR ever made it.
