Starting at 7.45pm (BST) The Mystery of the Third Planet Russian animation with English subtitles, 1981. If I told you what it's about it would no longer be a mystery. Taiellin recommends it, and that's good enough for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBOVm...BOVmZgLsxk (I hope this is the right version, Taiellin!) "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Looking forward to this and I promise I'll be on my best behaviour. Interesting it's from 1981. In 1980, as a teenager, I followed the 20-part BBC 'Russian: Language and People' course (still got the book and cassettes right here in my study! I hope the photo below comes out...) in the run-up to the Moscow Olympics. I still ask myself "Where's Red Square?" in Russian, in idle moments! But that's about my limit. There's some brilliant late 20th century Russian stuff on YouTube. My absolute favourite is the Bolshoi's 1992 production of 'Petrushka', which I'll get everyone to (re)watch at some point. INCREDIBLE!!!!! Edited by Cygnus Bazza on 20-07-2025 07:51 |

Just wondering whether, at some point, we could extend the remit of WET GECKO to embrace a dip into Stravinsky (Rite of Spring or Petrushka - both dating from the 1910s, so pretty adjacent time-wise). It's amazing stuff and very accessible to the modern ear, musically, not least due to the driving rhythms. There are some great versions of both on YouTube, recreating Roerich's/Benois' original costumes & stage designs, Nijinsky's/Fokine's choreo etc. Just a thought. E.g. (tho' by a US company): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF1OQ...amp;t=232s Edited by Cygnus Bazza on 20-07-2025 08:08 |

Crikey, AA's usually still whipping up some magic in the kitchen at this point. |

Someone needs to go and wake OSP up again.

It’d be fab, Taiellin, if you could tell us if any of the characters we meet are what we’d call over here ‘stock characters’ or ‘archetypes’ – typical characters who fit into certain roles, show certain behaviours etc and well known in Russian culture. Oh and if there are any folktale elements in the story itself. Thanks! |

This cartoon is based on the book by Kir Bulychev "Alice's travels". You can find it in the Internet. They have similarities and differences. |

The old Soviet space programme had an edgy mystique to it back in the day. There always seemed to be a Salyut space station up there in the 70s. |

Evidently the fashionable thing of inviting the whole school class to the birthday party is still happening in the future.

There were four people in the crew. Alice, her father, mechanic Green (his name Zelyony literally means this colour) and captain Poloskov. The last character was excluded in the cartoon.

Yes, there were movies and cartoons based on other books, but this one has only this cartoon. |

Taiellin, is the name Alice significant? No, i don't think so. It is like Alice by Lewis Carroll. We also translate it as Alisa. |
