Shadow Man
Day: Monday July 21 2014
Time: 8:20 PM Eastern
Channel: Sony Movie Channel
Record number: 13613

Title: Shadow Man (2006)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Eva Pope

Description: Standard Steven Seagal action thriller with British actress Pope as a taxi driver playing off one side against the other.

Captured at gunpoint by Seagal, she is taken to a cellar and sits in a wooden chair, her wrists tied behind her back with white cord. The scene opens with a clear close up of her tied hands. Seagal interrogates her and when she refuses to co-operate, tries strangling with a white scarf. He is interrupted by the arrival of the bad guys and hides, leaving Pope in plain sight. The new arrivals also want information from Ms Pope and place a plastic bag over her head until she is gasping for breath. When she still refuses to talk, Seagal leaps to the rescue and Pope herself also gets in a couple of good kicks before her hands are freed and the two make their escape

Action occurs around the 1 hour mark

The Avengers
Day: Monday July 21 2014
Time: 11:00 PM Eastern
Channel: Cozi
Record number: 670

Title: The Avengers (1961)
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Liz Frazer

Description: Episode: "The Girl from Auntie" (4.17)

Mrs. Peel has been kidnapped. However, she is not tied, but is kept in a giant gilded bird cage complete with swing and large bell. She is wearing what appears to be a body stocking with 'feather' boa and strategically placed 'feathers'. Perhaps canary yellow but, like other episodes at this time, filmed in black and white. First seen at 35 minutes and at intervals later.

Steed, in an attempt to find her, enlists another agent, Georgie (Frazer). At about 37 minutes Steed takes her in a cab to the suspected abductor's agent. He asks her to hold a roll of tape as he tears off a length then tapes her mouth in mid-sentence, ties her wrists in front with more of the tape (while she expostulates "Charming!" under the tape and the cabbie risks a collision by trying to see what's going on in the back seat), and finally delivers her to the white slaver's doorstep.

When, looking out of the peephole and beholding a girl wearing adhesive tape over her mouth, the doorkeeper asks, 'Who's there?' Steed replies, "Special delivery...perishables". When the door is opened she removes the tape as Steed fights with the occupant and tells her to pay the cabbie as the meter is still running.

At 42 minutes Mrs Peel is shown still in the cage on a large TV monitor as she is auctioned, for her code breaking ability and knowledge of western defence secrets, to a gathering of foreign agents.

When Steed and Georgie arrive to rescue Mrs Peel in the fight she grabs the female villain, who has the cage keys on her belt, and, perhaps strangely, is able to immobilise her by bending the bars of the cage around her. Mrs Peel then removes the cage keys and releases herself.

Times for a 50 minute broadcast without adverts.

High Tension
Day: Monday July 21 2014
Time: Midnight Eastern
Channel: Showtime Beyond
Record number: 9711

Title: Haute Tension (2003) aka Switchblade Romance aka High Tension
Medium: Movie
Actress: Maïwenn Le Besco; Cecile De France

Description: Not long into the movie, Alex (Le Besco) is taken prisoner by the serial killer du jour, and it's up to Marie (De France) to save her. We first see Alex chained in a frontal hogtie on a bed, wearing an interesting gag that appears to be formed from a chain fed through plastic tubing. Marie finds her but can't unlock the chains or the gag, so it's off to the serial killer's van with Alex. Much struggling ensues, captured in nice close-ups. (In one scene, the killer douses her with bourbon and lights a match, and she's clearly not too happy about it.)

At the very last scene of the film Cecile De France is seen handcuffed and chained to a bed in mental institution.

JAG
Day: Monday July 21 2014
Time: 3:00 PM Eastern
Channel: TV Guide
Record number: 82

Title: JAG
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Tracey Needham

Description: Episode: "Brig Break" (1.8)

Lt. Austin (Needham) is kidnapped by some escapees. They don't like her lip, so she's quickly handcuffed and tape gagged.

Sitting in a boat, the blonde cutie has her wrists cuffed behind her back and is gagged on-screen with silver duct tape. (Earlier in the episode, she was cuffed to a guy). Her captor leads her through the woods to some camp. Once there, he cuffs one of her wrists to a vertical tube and then ungags her. She's left alone to deal with a bomb set to explode.

BTW, she's clad in a wet uniform, wears high heels and the tape gag is really sticky!
