That scene was perfect in my book (even with the >bad haircut on Kim). It was a good scene and about as good a tape gag as you can do for TV (wrapped around may have been nice also); she's pretty and her hair's not an issue imho. However, although the length was good compared to most (all) of the recent scenes in mainstream, it was still short. If you count the time she was shown, including the opening hand gag she was on screen tied or in peril less than a minute. When he grabbed her over the opening credits I thought it would be a long and classic scene but she was rescued far too soon. If you really study the edit they spent more time showing a close up of the ringing telephone and/or her hands reaching for the cord than they did on her face and body. It just seems to be the way they do it now... no one seems to linger or gloat these days; to bad. Still, a way better than average, very good scene. |

I've never seen it in a US scene. Way back ( pre '80s ) before black or silver grey duct tape became the fashion in US mainstream DID scenes, pinkish or white medical tape was the style. |

I didn't know it was available on video! I haven't seen that excellent image since the show was last transmitted here in 1981. If anyone could cap or scan it and post it somewhere on the net, I think a lot of people would be grateful! On the subject of duct tape, it's very expensive here in the UK, unless you get really poor quality stuff. I understand it's been the most plentiful kind of tape in the US for many years, hence its preponderance in American scenes. One thing I've never seen is an OTM gag backed with acrylic double-sided tape, which sticks really well. VERY effective, and still of classic appearance. :-) |

Hmmm...
Seeing the pic again, I'd say the eyes, brows and hairline are very similar to Ms Hampshire's, the nose is Samantha Eggar's, and the gag looks far too flat to be painted from life or a photo of a gagged Ms H. Probably straight out of the artist's imagination. |

Responding to:
At about 40min. in, brief flash featuring close-up of her with clear plastic over her mouth and nose (turns out she's into smothering as well). Final flash around 50min. mark of the smothering scene again. My new response: You obviously didn't watch the episode: she was NOT into smothering - it was how the guy murdered her - his 'ultimate thrill' as explained in the wrap-up. Overall a very poor, disappointing episode, every shot shaky, in addition to being super brief and darkly lit. I hate police procedurals. |

It looks more effective than any other tape I've seen because it stretches so it cant get pulled loose, and the way it conforms to the DiDs face makes it look like the adhesive is tough as super glue. other scenes Ive seen it in are The Black Panther, Touching Evil "Scalpings", and an episode of A Touch of Frost. Theres a couple of others but I cant think of them off the top of my head |

I saw this. it would have been more interesting had she been into smothering, which is an acknowledged fetish for carefull intelligent adults, but that was not part of the plot. They could have done so much more with this from every perspective. Very poorly done for DID standpoint. |

My favourite tape, Anubis, the way it just adheres to and outlines the lips is just the business!!! I also remember Sinead Cusack sporting the same tape gag in the 'Burning Bush' episode of another UK series, The Protectors (with Robert Vaughan in the same predicament unfortunately). I consider as very special those scenes where this tape is applied. Okavango is indeed a double treat Major John. I actually tried to find this tape here in the UK not so long ago for a custom shoot, and managed to get hold of a large roll of Elastoplast; 4" wide and more cream in colour than white, but the best, stickiest and closest to what I wanted that I could really find. In line with just about everywhere these days, silver and black tape would now appear to be the TV/Film norm here too, with white all but having disappeared. Also, thanks Canuck for the cap of the Cry Terror cover; this was the source of much discussion over on Rob's page as Dan has already pointed out, and I must let our dear Celtic chum Kenny know as he instigated our chat on the Susan Hampshire sketch. |

Suzan Farmer got a nice big white tape gag in an ep of "The Saint". It may have been Elastoplast.
I also remember Jill Ireland being gagged with soft white tape in "The Avengers", though it could have been the non-stretchy cloth tape, with medical plaster-style zinc oxide adhesive, once common in the UK. |

Jill Ireland in "The Avengers"? The Patrick MacNee "Avengers"? I don't recall here being tape gagged in that show (or even a guest star in any episodes). She was tied & gagged in an episode of Man From U.N.C.L.E., but IIRC it was an OTM gag. |

I believe that this type of tape, or something very similar, is available in the U.S. A friend of mine had some stretchy, cream-colored tape earlier this year. He described it as "athletic tape." You might be able to find it in some sporting good stores and drug stores. I will look around for it. However, I would agree that it is much easier to obtain duct tape. |

Quelle surprise... It was in one of the early black and white eps. Steed infiltrated a gang and was pretending to have captured Jill's character so as to gain entrance to the leader's lair. Just outside the door, he handed her a piece of white tape and told her to put it over her mouth. He then rang the bell or knocked, thrust Jill's gagged face in front of the peephole, and knocked out the guy who opened the door. At least, I THINK it was Jill Ireland. By that time I was beginning to notice the names of DiD actresses. Mainstream self-gagging, no less. Another, equestrian, example, with an OTM gag, occurred in an episode of the Roger Moore "Ivanhoe" series, though I don't know which ep or who the gorgeous blonde ws. :-( |

On a positive note, the 'Kidnaping for a sexual thrill' angle was treated as just another thing bored rich kids do.
No moral outrage, just part of the chain of events that resulted in a murder. Overall the DIDDAGE was pretty lame and disappointing, hands tied in front and she leaves her stuff gag in !!!!!!! |

In any event, I'll have to keep this scene in mind, in case I want to crash a ritzy Christmas party that offers some primo hors d'oevres. Instead of wasting my time trying to wrangle something ahead of time like an invitation or "credentials", I could just bring along a gagged honey to the doorway... |

I'm pretty certain it wasn't "Ghost Squad", the other thing in which she appeared around that time. I remembered her from that when she turned up in "The Avengers". The earliest eps aren't at all well documented (the old wipe-the-tape syndrome), and it must have been one from the first series. |

You know, I don't think this is correct, unless there is footage someplace which didn't make the DVD. In the version I clipped (and featured in a weekly update just a couple weeks back), the only nudity is a very dark, less-than-two-second long crotch view as one of the bad guys (during an abortive rape attempt) lifts her shirt, under which she's got nothing on. I'd be happy to help straighten it out over on DB Corrections, though that's pretty much the only information I have at the moment. Definitely not a bad little scene, though. |

I'd thought about renting the DVD, as HitD is probably on my personal top-ten list of scenes, and the VHS transfer I clipped was slightly blurry as you can see here (not to mention subtitled in Italian). Still, while I'm normally a widescreen purist, I'd have to go with the full-frame transfer if it shows more of the "good stuff." Either way, though, it's a long, dynamic, highly-recommended scene. I doubt that the original poster will be disappointed. |

The tape used in Okavanga looks like 3in "microfoam" a brand of surgical tape by 3M available by special order in any US drugstore and on line; it also comes 4inch. It's a buff color, off white, films almost white, stretchy, a bit spungy and clingy and does not leave glue on the face; very good stuff. |

Tuesday December 16 21:47:33 2003 Re: Switch - Diana Martin |
One of the best soap scenes I've ever seen.
All the characters involved are deaf students at a college. Claire (Martin) accompanies Philip, whom she hardly knows, to his apartment, where she finds a room full of photographs of her and (defaced) her Asian boyfriend. Philip menaces her, we cut to another scene, and we return to find the camera panning up from Claire's bound feet to her hands, tied in front and to her feet with red rope. We then see Philip pressing a strip of black gaffer tape over her mouth. Over several scenes, Claire mmmphs and emotes, sometimes in extreme facial close-up and from various angles, as the jealous loony prepares to torture or kill her with a knife. The show (and present series) ends with two male friends of Claire's banging on the door while she writhes and mmmphs like crazy. Top-notch stuff, very well acted! This soap is embedded in the BBC show "See Hear" for deaf people. I don't know how widely it is distributed, as British deaf culture and sign language are rather self-contained, but satellite and specialist channels may carry it abroad. |
