Looking back to my boyhood
30 January 2012
When I was a kid, back in the dark ages, I used to go to the cinema every Saturday morning. There were sing-a-longs, cartoons, news stories, feature films and, best of all as far as I was concerned, serials. They ALWAYS ended with a cliff-hanger, which was slightly changed at the start of the next episode, but no-one cared about that. This one had some interesting bits. Not much was known about radioactivity back then, so when Batman had the ransom money sprayed, so that he can track it, it didn't seem wrong that it burst into flames when it fell on the floor. The crippled Wizard suddenly being able to walk was a bit of a puzzler, too. Now, I am over 70, and have a small collection of the old serials. This is one of the best of the genre.
