'Ukupholisa' kwehlabathi kuzisa i-Ice Age entsha kunye nokuqala kotshaba lwakudala - kwibali lentelekelelo elinokutswina kunye nokukhwaza.

Ixesha lesi-5 – iBali lama-39

'Kwaye ke imikhenkce iya kushukuma kwakhona. Iminyaka engamawaka amahlanu yembali yatyunyuzwa phantsi kwentaba yomkhenkce ehambayo' - Clent

Ibali
Kunyaka wama-3000, uMhlaba ukwi-Ice Age entsha. UGqirha, uJamie kunye noVictoria bafika eBritannicus Base-indlu enkulu yaseGeorgia ngaphakathi kwendawo ekhuselayo- apho iNkokeli uClent kunye neqela lakhe basebenzisa ioniser kumzabalazo wokugcina umkhenkce ungekho. Kubuso bomkhenkce, amadoda kaClent afumanisa igorha lasemzini, elinomkhenkce kwaye lilondolozwe ngokugqibeleleyo ukusukela kwi-Ice Age yokugqibela. Ubuyiselwe ebomini, uVarga ulungiselela ukukhulula amaqabane akhe kumkhenkce kwaye avuselele isiphekepheke sabo- nokuba zeziphi iindleko zeprojekthi ye-ionization…

Uphononongo lwe-RT nguPatrick Mulkern
Brrrr! Ixesha lokutshitshisa enye i-relic endala ukususela ngo-1967. Kwaye zonke izinto ezisisiseko zelo xesha ziboniswa: isiseko esizimeleyo, iqela elincinane labantu, inkokeli esecaleni le-mania kunye ne-ice-cool female eye-candy - plus, kunjalo, isoyikiso esoyikekayo sangaphandle. Izilo zaziyi-novelle engacacanga: u-Innes Lloyd, kunye noPeter Bryant ngakumbi, babebathanda. Injongo yabo ngoku yayikukuba uGqirha omele oyike, kwaye umbhali uBrian Hayles wayalelwa ukuba aphuhlise utshaba olutsha oloyikekayo.

'Iqhawe lomkhenkce elifanelekileyo, akunjalo?' Uthi isazinzulu uWalters xa iVarga's spooky visor ibonakala kuqala ebusweni bomkhenkce. Yinkcazo emangalisayo kwaye enye iya kunamathela kodwa bendisoloko ndifuna ukwazi, bazibiza ngantoni? Hayi iiMartians. Luluphi uhlanga? (Ngokubonakala kwabo okwesine ngo-1974 ngokwenene babezibiza ngokuba ngamaQhawe oMkhenkce.) Aba 'bahlaseli baseMartian bakhohlakele' babetha ngokukhawuleza kwaye baba lilo eliqhelekileyo eliphindaphindayo - kwafuneka balinde de kube ngu-2013 ukuze bancibilikiswe kwaye bavuselelwe kwi-21st-century Who.

UHayles wayila i-Ice Warriors njengezidalwa ezinokubonisa ubuntu obukhulu kunokuba, yithi, iDaleks kunye neCybermen, kunye noBernard Bresslaw - ngokungaqhelekanga usabonakala phantsi kweeleya zerabha kunye ne-fiberglass - iqaqambe njengeVarga. Uyoyikisela ('Zithini iziqinisekiso zakho zokubakho?'), uyagculela, uyaqhula, 'uyahleka' kwaye wenza umlozi omkhulu. Kodwa, inyaniso mayixelwe, abaphantsi kwakhe bahlala bengamaplanga aqhelekileyo.

UHayles wayebacingela nje njengamajoni anxibe isikrweqe sekamva; yayingumyili wempahla yokunxiba uMartin Baugh owabanika i-reptilian twist ukuze, endaweni efana neengwenya okanye amafudo, ukuxhotywa kwezixhobo zabo kube ziicarapaces. Kwakukho noyilo olwahlukileyo: ngokwenene, 'isuti' kaVarga iyatshintsha phakathi kwesiqendu sokuqala nesesibini!

Enkosi ngethamsanqa elifunyenwe kwikhabhathi yevenkile yeBBC ngo-1988, ifilim eshicilelwe kwiziqendu ezine zoqobo zisafumaneka ukuba sizibukele. Ke ngoko uninzi lwebali lingalandelwa, nangona iindawo ezilahlekileyo ezimbini nezintathu zibandakanya amaxesha abalulekileyo. UVarga uthimba uVictoria kwaye utyhila imvelaphi yakhe 'ukusuka kwiplanethi ebomvu' kunye neenjongo zakhe: 'Ukuba sibuyele kwihlabathi lethu okanye ukunqoba oku.' Siphinde sivinjwe i-cliffhanger echazayo xa uVarga enyibilikisa amaqabane akhe kwiibhloko zomkhenkce.

Ngoko ke makhe sithathe ufundo lobushushu. Kukho izinto ezininzi ezintle - ngaphandle kwezilwanyana ezirhubuluzayo eziphakamileyo. Izihloko zeziqendu ezikhethekileyo zidlala kwi-glacial montage, exhaswa yi-haunting soprano. UMlawuli uDerek Martinus wenze ifilimu 'yangaphandle' ekholisayo e-Ealing Studios, waze waqesha nebhere encinane emdaka! Iinkcukacha zenzululwazi ezivezwe liqela likaClent kunye noGqirha zibonakala ziyinyani - nokuba ukuqhubela phambili komkhenkce 'kwiimitha ezili-100 namhlanje' akunakubakholeleka. I-engile 'yokupholisa kwehlabathi' iyanconywa ngeli xesha. Le Ice Age entsha iye yathwaxwa kukutshabalalisa kwezityalo kwihlabathi liphela. 'Akukho zityalo: akukho carbon dioxide,' utsho uGqirha, aze athi uClent, 'Ngequbuliso, omnye unyaka … akuzange kubekho ntwasahlobo.'

I-trio eqhelekileyo isebenza kakuhle. UGqirha, ebuyile kwidyasi yakhe enkulu yoboya, uzibonakalisa kuClent ngobukrelekrele bakhe bengqondo kodwa uyazijongela phantsi iikhompyuter. Unesibindi sokundwendwela inqanawa yoMkhosi womkhenkce exhobe kungekho nto ingaphaya kwebhombu enukayo, emva koko, xa ebabona besenyameni, enze kabini okuhlekisayo ('Owu lizwi lam!') aze ajike abaleke. UJamie ubonisa inkanuko kumanenekazi kwiimpahla zabo ezinqabileyo kwaye uqhula i-prim Victoria. 'Uyayibona indlela ababenxibe ngayo laa lasi... Awuziboni unxibe ngolo hlobo ngoko?' Wenza kakhulu ukuncwina kodwa ume ngakuVarga kwaye ujonge igorhakazi eligqibeleleyo lengelosi ngexesha lokuleqa umkhenkce.

Ukungasebenzi kancinci kukuphindaphinda i-blather malunga nokuxhomekeka kwesiseko 'kwikhompyuter'. Ukuxhalaba okufanelekileyo ngo-1967 mhlawumbi, namhlanje umyalezo uziva uqhutywa ngehamile. UPeter Barkworth ubonisa ubuntununtunu obudlulayo njengompheki woxinzelelo uClent, kodwa uyakhwaza kakhulu kwaye i-hysteria yakhe yomda iyanxiba. Izikhonkwane ezingaqhelekanga zezemidlalo, uPeter Sallis udlala inzululwazi/umhlaseli uPenley, uvaleleke kwimyuziyam yezityalo kunye noStorr wesayensi-phobic (uAngus Lennie, kamva owaba nguCrossroads umpheki onomsindo, uShughie McFee). Benza isibini esingaqhelekanga; ngokungathandabuzekiyo uGqirha Ngubani isibini sokuqala gay.

Isiphelo siyadanisa i-shambolic (uxinzelelo luyaba ngumphunga, imiboniso mibi kwaye iVictoria iyanyamalala), kodwa ngokulinganayo I-Ice Warriors yi-serial eqikelelwayo kunye nomboniso oxhonywe kakuhle wezilo ezitsha ezipholileyo.

Izixhobo zogcino lweRadio Times

Ngomnyaka we-1967 sapapasha inqaku lentshayelelo ngephutha kwi-caption yesithombe - iVictoria ilandelwa nguTuroc (Sonny Caldinez) kungekhona uBernard Bresslaw njengoVarga. Kwakukho iiprofayili ezincinci zomqambi uDudley Simpson (RT 18 Novemba 1967) kunye nenkwenkwezi endwendwela uPeter Barkworth (RT 25 Novemba 1967). Kwakhona (ngezantsi) ii-billing episodes ezithandathu kunye neeleta ezimbini: enye ibhiyozela iminyaka emine kaGqirha Ngubani (RT 18 Novemba 1967); enye, ecela umngeni kwiinyani zebali, yaphendulwa ngumbhali uBrian Hayles (RT 16 December 1967).
