This panel discussion episode is a deep dive into the bizarre 1980 maritime action film ffolkes (aka North Sea Hijack) starring Roger Moore and James Mason, made in between Moonraker and For Your Eyes Only.

A terrorist cell led by Anthony Perkins and Michael Parks hijacks a supply ship in the North Sea, attaches bombs to an oil rig and a refinery platform and demands 25 million pounds in 24 hours or they will blow them all up and create an environmental catastrophe. The Prime Minister does not want to be seen to be negotiating with terrorists so she arranges for Lloyds of London to engage the services of Rufus Excalibur ffolkes, an eccentric counter-terrorism expert who ticks all the Pure Cinema boxes - he’s an alcoholic bearded genius who hates women, loves cats and doing needlepoint, and puts together a covert team to thwart the bad guys in a race against time.

Returning guests Anna Swanson and Corey Atad are joined by Ben Gordon and Meg Shields for a free-wheeling celebration of this stopwatch thriller for Dads that is much more entertaining than it has any right to be.
