Batman: The Bookworm Turns
Day: Sunday March 16 2003
Time: 4a.m. Pacific
Channel: TVLand
The second episode, "While Gotham City Burns", will follow immediately afterward. Please check your local listings for the exact time in your area.
Record number: 1896

Title: Batman (1966)
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Francine York

Description: Episode: "The Bookworm Turns" (1.29)

Unknown to Batman and Robin, Lydia Limpet (York) is the Bookworm's moll. The Dynamic Duo follow up a lead (they've received a book entitled "For Whom the Bell Tolls) and enter a bookmobile, where they find the lovely Miss Limpet detective gagged with a white cloth and bound with wrists in front. Batman removes the gag and leaves to run down the information provided by the cute brunette, but not trusting her completely, he leaves her wrists tied. To occupy the time, Miss Limpet requests Robin read to her, but it's a trap -- the book is booby-trapped with a sleeping gas. When Robin awakens, he's bound to the clapper of a 40 foot tall bell. When the clock strikes midnight he'll be crushed. Fortunately, the Caped Crusader realizes the meaning of the Hemingway clue and has his Batzooka in the Batmobile trunk.

The action begins around the halfway mark, and some of it is included in the reprise at the beginning of the next episode, "While Gotham City Burns".

Her Deadly Vision
Day: Sunday March 16 2003
Time: 1 pm ET/PT
Channel: Lifetime
Record number: 1691

Title: Murder in Mind (1996) aka Deadly Vision, A
Medium: Movie
Actress: Kristin Davis

Description: A serial killer wants to kill a particular police officer. To this end, he kidnaps Kristin, and duct tapes her to a canvas chair. Her hands are taped in front, and a length of tape pins her shoulders to the chair. Her ankles are taped and she's gagged with a strip of tape for good measure. Unusual ending, but I won't spoil it for you.

The action begins around the last ten minutes, and goes 'til nearly the end. IMO a top drawer scene, with a well-sealed tape gag.

Title: Lost World, The
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Jennifer O'Dell

Description: Episode: "The Prisoner" (2.8)

The long-awaited Jennifer O'Dell bound and gagged scene is in the first 20 minutes of the episode. Right after the opening sequence she she grabbed from behind and has her hands bound behind her with rope on screen. Then they cut away for a quick scene of rest of the gang at the treehouse. After Ms. Blakley says where is Veronica?" there are some nice shots of her cleave gagged with a thick white and some good closeups of her bound hands as she uses a rock to saw through the ropes. Loved it! Whole scene last less than a minute.

The Practice
Day: Sunday March 16 2003
Time: 9 PM EST
Channel: 11- CH - Hamilton/Toronto
Possible alert for "The Practice" - a quick episode preview implied there might be a scene with Lara F Boyle. Nothing actually shown in the preview, but it could be worth a look. Same episode airs Mon. 17th in U.S.

Possibility for "Sue Thomas F.B. Eye"
