| That Darn Cat |
| Day: Saturday December 17 2016 |
| Time: 6:00 AM Eastern |
| Channel: Laff |
|
Record number: 648 Title: That Darn Cat (1997) Medium: Movie Actress: Rebecca Koon, Christina Ricci Description: At the start of this Disney comedy, at 3mins in, a matronly woman (Koon) is abducted by being handgagged and dragged out of her apartment, with some surprised mmpphhing. We do not see her again until 18mins, whereby she is shown sitting in a chair with her hands bound in front with two white zipties (each interlocked to form 'handcuffs') and a number of turns of very thick white rope around her torso. The titular cat discovers her in what looks to be an abandoned apartment, and Koon fastens her wristwatch as a collar on the cat to summon help. She is seen again at 1hr 5mins, now gagged with a strip of duct tape and having been discovered by teenaged sleuth Ricci. However, both are soon rumbled by a pair of crooks. Finally, at 1hr 12mins, we see Koon bound and re-gagged as before, along with Ricci tied to a chair hands in front with brown rope and gagged a strip of duct tape (this being a comedy, the cat also gets a gag). Neither damsel does any emoting, as Ricci's detective buddy soon barges in and frees them both; he also ungags them both onscreen with a loud "rip" of the tape. |

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 at 15mins (on the Blu-ray release) they find the lovely Miss Limpet OTM/detective gagged with a white cloth and wrists tied in front with yellow rope. At first they leave her in there to fight off the bad guys, then return 2mins later when they've cleared the area. She mmpphhs nicely, prompting Robin to exclaim "Holy Cinderella! A beautiful prisoner!" Batman, however, is immediately suspicious of her and spends a further minute deciding what to do. When the Duo enter the van, she mmpphhs some more as Batman sprays her with a knockout drug. For the next minute, she is shown at the Batcave, lying on a gurney in a state of hypnosis and being interrogated. Once this is over, at 20mins, she is returned to the van without any idea of what went on. She is already ungagged, but her hands are still bound. Batman soon leaves to run down the information provided by the cute brunette, but not trusting her completely, he insists on leaving her wrists tied; Robin heeds this advice. 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 passes out, she contacts the Bookworm to notify him of Batman's arrival, then replaces the book on the shelf and very smugly waits for reinforcements at 23mins; all this with her hands still tied in front. Some of the action is included in the reprise at the beginning of the next episode, "While Gotham City Burns". |

Record number: 428 Title: The Long Ships (1963) Medium: Movie Actress: Beba Loncar Description: She is gagged while taking a bath, knotted cloth between the teeth. Spirited away to a Viking ship, she is supposedly sacrificed (brief scene of struggling and mmmphing until Richard Widmark knocks her out, then a brief shot of her unconscious cleave-gagged face), but later turns up in the hold lying on some sacks with her wrists tied behind her back. A good deal of struggling and muffled cries. At one point she manages to spit out the knotted cloth and cry incoherently about "her father" and "hate you", but Widmark quickly handgags her then jams the gag between her teeth and knots it tightly behind her head. Nice scene, but pretty dark.first scene (in bath tub): 36:00, next scene (the knockout scene): 43:55, last scene: 47:30 |

| Head Above Water |
| Day: Saturday December 17 2016 |
| Time: 8:00 AM Eastern |
| Channel: Escape |
|
Record number: 414 Title: Head Above Water (1996) Medium: Movie Actress: Cameron Diaz Description: Remake of Hodet over vannet, the Norwegian original. The lovely but neurotic Nathalie (Diaz) has three separate scenes, all taking place in the last half hour. At 1hr 0mins, Nathalie is on a boat and gets knocked out by a punch from husband George. She is next shown 2mins later, lying unconscious on a couch; her hands are tied behind her back with black rope, feet tied together, and she is loosely OTM gagged with a cream-coloured floral print scarf. In several sequences over the next 5mins, she struggles and hops around the house to get a knife from a kitchen drawer. At one point George picks her up over his shoulder to carry her out of the house, but goes back inside and dumps her on the coach again. When he leaves, she uses the knife to cut her hands free and ungag herself onscreen, but after the scarf is pulled down, she spits out a lime which was used as mouth packing! The second scene begins at 1hr 11mins when Nathalie is recaptured by George and new friend Lance. They have her tied to a wooden chair with lots of rope all over her body (hands to armrests, noose around neck, feet together). George then whips out a pale blue dishcloth and tightly cleave gags her with it onscreen, prompting a helpless mmpphh. However, in the mother of all frustrations for DiD-fans, Lance suggests not to gag her. The cloth is removed from her mouth and again she is left alone. She remains tied to the chair for the next 4mins, during which she manages to tip it over in an energetic struggle and using a chisel to free herself offscreen. For a final time Nathalie winds up bound but not gagged, at 1hr 21mins, this time in mortal peril. George has strapped her to a rollerboard placed on a purpose-built wooden ramp, hands tied in front with rope, feet encased in cement within a metal tub, all on top of a platform above the water and shoreline. A pulley is rigged to send her plummeting into the sea below, but first she has to endure a drunken rant by George. In a stupor, he eventually falls off the platform instead, leaving Nathalie to figure out a way of escaping. Making seemingly clever use of a shotgun and a chainsaw to almost get free, she accidentally triggers the pulley mechanism which causes her to plunge into the sea. Cue a frantic struggle underwater where she reacts fast enough to snag the propeller of a police boat, which just about hauls her to safety at 1hr 27mins. All times based on the iTunes release without commercials. |
