eye of the storm

The complete “Eye of the Storm” TV show can now be found on Youtube!!!

[2nd post for today]

I was looking for this TV show a loooooong time and now you can watch the complete show on Youtube!

Thanks to the great guy who contacted me about it!

I’m talking about “Eye of the Storm” a UK TV show for kids from 1993.

The show has only 6 episodes with about 25 minutes each.

So, what can possibly be interesting about a kids TV show?

Well, 2 brilliant scuba peril scenes!

 

Check out these posts, if you don’t already know them:

On the last 6 Fridays, they released one episode each on this channel (download them!):

(a lot of UK TV shows and adverts there)

 

Yeah, the picture quality is still not good, but I guess that is the best we might ever get.

I have now watched all the episodes and finally know the whole storyline.

Yeah, the show is for kids and the plan of the villainess is really… odd but still, this show is just fantastic!

Maybe the darkest TV show for kids I ever saw. #howtotraumatizechildren

I mean the whole show has only the length of one long movie, but still, Nell (played by Cordelia Bugeja) gets attacked TWICE while scuba diving!

The same evil guy tries to drown her twice! (and gets killed in the process)

Are there any other TV shows or movies that also have that? I doubt it….

Besides the two scuba peril scenes, there is only little in regard to scuba diving, but some scenes of her in wetsuit can be found in the episodes.

There are some scenes where she talks to her father (played by famous actor Bill Nighy!) about the first attack as the evil diver slices her air hose. Very interesting 🙂

At first, he won’t believe her and suggest that her air hose was cut by some rocks in the cave…

Here they all use the term “air line” which I actually never had heard before.

I guess that was used in the past and didn’t make it to the present times, maybe as you could confuse that easily with “airline” 😉

The dad, who actually is a diver as well, lets her teenage daughter dive alone in the whole show. He is never diving with her… quite bizarre when you see it from today’s perspective.

But this way we get the two fantastic scuba peril scenes as she faces the evil diver by herself.

The show has only the evilest cliffhangers as they simply end an episode twice in the middle of her being attacked in that cave.

Luckily that isn’t a problem when the whole show is available 🙂

So, check it out!

Female diver gets attacked in a cave – [AGAIN]

by

Ok, many of you should know this Hall of Fame classic:

Female diver attacked in a cave – [Hall of Fame]

…in which a young female diver was exploring a tight cave system. She was attacked from behind by a diver, who ripped off her scuba mask and cut her air hose!

She barely survived that encounter…and now she needs to dive again into that cave system.

And guess who is already waiting to get his second chance to drown her…. 😉

Note: This material wasn’t edited by me in any. I was lucky to find it…and it appears to be from a VHS recording…nothing better is available from this rare 90’s series.

Preview:

Ready to dive into the cave system again!
Exploring…
…but…
…again the evil diver finds her!
Smashing her head against the wall….
…and yanking at her regulator!

And here is the video:

My opinion on it:

Well, she does look really great in that scuba outfit. Even if the picture quality is far from good.

A very brave girl diving alone into such a cave system… especially after the last encounter with the evil diver who nearly drowned her. She knew that he might be there again and yet she dives in there anyhow.

He does make a (fatal) mistake, first, he reaches for her mask….but he doesn’t (manage to) pull it off. He grabs her mouthpiece and yanks it away. What was his plan with the knife? Does he want to stick that into her head???!!! Very odd idea and he misses it after all. But due to the fact, that she still has her scuba mask on, she manages to see and grab the stone.

I like that she fights back this time…knocking him with that stone…giving her the vital seconds to get away.

Ok, again she is lucky that he is stuck under…that barrel. But after 2 attacks she is still alive and the evil diver is dead after all.

A really nice struggle and fight!

In my eyes not as good as the first one…since I love to see cut air hoses 😉 …but this series managed to produce 2 great scuba scenes in only 6 episodes.

Pretty great job if you ask me!

And I do have a BONUS scene for you!

I found this on YouTube, but that channel got terminated some months ago.

It’s nothing as great as the 2 fight scenes…but you might enjoy it anyhow:

(not to be found on my public YouTube channel)

Both scenes are from this TV series:
