Bonanza 1964

Seegee
You'll probably remember the Australian film 'Celia' in which there's a scene of her father spanking Celia with his belt. If I were to find that film now would that scene still be in it?

Rebecca Smart seemed to be a spanking magnet in shows. She got spanked in The Shiralee, too, although it took place off screen. I sometimes wonder if they've kept the spanking scene from an episode of Gidget, where her older sister and brother-in-law spank her near the end.

Interesting also that the BBC have never repeated "The Happy Valley" film but show often the other film about the same location and people - can't remember the name. Latter had much more explicit sex scenes but no cp and so that is okay to repeat. They think "Happy Valley" cp scenes are not okay and as they are so central to the plot they cannot cut them out so simply don't show it at all. Quite wrong as the film is based on fact and the canings did happen in reality.

My wife gets annoyed with the hypocrisy on Sky News, where they give trigger warnings about supposedly graphic News footage they are about to show, but then show money raising adverts for the big charities straight after with far worse footage, which is deliberately meant to traumatise you into donating to them. That charity footage comes with no trigger warning, and she mutes the TV and looks away when they run those adverts because she hates seeing them.

Michael Bryant was chillingly good in Happy Valley as Juanita's sadistic father.

Thanks. That is the one. Not anywhere as good as Happy Valley. I agree his portrayal of the sadistic father was outstanding. I did read recently that Jock Broughton was innocent of the murder. A death bed confession by a female lover.
