A few minutes later, she is tied up in a chair and gagged with a handkerchief, and left in the basement with a scientist, who is bound and gagged as well. Naturally, in desperation she gets the gag off, and calls Brain, who promptly heads for the basement and unites Penny. She is about to untie the scientist, when she hears the footsteps of MAD agents. But when the MAD agents get to the basement, penny and the scientist are bound and gagged again. Record number: 2384 Title: Inspector Gadget Medium: TV Series Actress: Cree Summer Description: 80s cartoon. Episode has Gadget investigating evil plants created by Mr. Greenfinger. Penny does some snooping around but gets tied up by the wild plants. She screams for help and then gets freed by an agent who immediately captures her. She is taken to a basement and tied to a chair and gagged with a white cloth. She is able to remove the gag and manages to untie herself. When two agents then come, she somehow manages to tie and gag herself up again in a split-second(!). As agents leave, one more shot of her looking worried while gagged is shown. |

| David: Found ep: Coo-Coo Clock Caper (1.28) Figure it's this one? Record number: 981 Title: Inspector Gadget Medium: TV Series Actress: Cree Summer Description: The evil Clockmaker is stealing all of the Swiss gold. Penny goes to investigate in the Clockmaker's basement and discovers MAD agents melting the stolen gold. Suddenly a huge hand clamps over her mouth and she is carried off, mmpphffing furiously. "Tie her in that chair," commands the Clockmaker, and his lackey obeys, gagging her with a large white over the mouth cloth. Later, she is carried into another room, and slips off her gag. "You won't get away with this!" she shouts. "When the clock strikes five, you won't be alive!" he taunts. At the stroke of five, a huge hammer will bash Penny into pieces! Before the Clockmaker leaves Penny to her fate, he wisely slips the gag back over her mouth. In the next scene, Penny mmmpphffs furiously as five approaches. Good close-ups of her struggle as she works the gag loose. She calls out for help, and of course, Brain hears her and saves the day. Note: This is a cartoon! |

| Have had no luck with this one as yet. Ringing any bells here? Record number: 3113 Title: Professionals, The Medium: TV Series Actress: Linda Thorson Description: Episode: unknown Top notch British action series circa 1980 had one episode where the still cute Miss Thorson is tied to a chair by a baddie and tightly cleave-gagged with a dark cloth. Her distress is palpable as the bad guys whispers what is going to happen to her and her pals. |

I've checked epguides, the IMDb and several websites, all of which have very thorough cast listings and I can't find any reference to Linda Thorson appearing in a "Professionals" episode. It would appear that the damsel has been misidentified or Ms. Thorson placed in the wrong series. |

All seem to be in the DB except Need to Know. |

Same here. There's a few others that I'm going to run by you like this. Reluctant to 'Delete' unless nescessary. |

Okay ... caught up on these First off, mea culpa for the dupe entry for RED TEAM ... guess I didn't check beforehand, or did something (or had something happen) that didn't allow the first one to show Title quotes: I use them to differentiate from the series or film title in my cap sets, and just extended the practice to the DB. I guess it's unnecessary in this format, but I'd vote to keep 'em Choosing type of entry: Yes ... I've caught myself nearly forgetting on films a number of times, and may have had some misses Episode unknown: I go with "Episode: Unknown" to conform with the style of titled eps David, will the colon be a problem for your search for these? I can go with "Episode Unknown" (no actual quotes in the entry) if it is Lastly, as I asked at Discussion, please use "Animated" (along with any other info you deem appropriate) in the ACTRESS field when dealing with such content I've changed all that had "toon" or some variant in that field. Obviously that didn't catch 'em all, as the GADGET entries have neither. I doubt there's many that didn't have one or t'other, though, and searching on "animated" brings up 130 or so to this point Jay, in changing those INSPECTOR GADGET entries, could you follow the above, in addition to adding "voiced by"? |

| Saturday January 05 20:41:18 2002 The "The" |
|
I have no problem with tailing it, but I wanted to hear what others thought about whether it posed a problem for users who would type "The (Whatever)" I don't do it myself, going for a concise string, but other less experienced folks might. Of course, they hopefully would then drop the "The", but ... |

> with the style of titled eps > > David, will the colon be a problem for your search for > these? I can go with "Episode Unknown" (no actual quotes > in the entry) if it is > I just ran a search on the database. There are 138 entries with "Episode unknown", 98 entries with "Episode: unknown" (one space after the colon); 4 entries with "Episode: unknown" (two spaces after the colon) and 90 "unknown episode" entries. Aargh! Unfortunately what you search on is what you get -- if you search for "Episode: unknown", not only won't you get hits for "Episode unknown", but you won't get hits for the entries with two spaces after the colon. I don't care what we do (much), but we all ought to be doing the same thing. I'd argue that Episode: unknown looks like the episode is named "Unknown" while "Episode unknown" can't be mean anything but "we haven't a clue what the title is: please help!" My two cents anyway. |

It's usually equivalent to a pause, as if speaking. I'm not sure how to resolve this ... other than to say it *is* your site. If you want them 86ed to facilitate a more formal style, I'll defer to your sensibilities. |
