Coming up next week, Dr. Winston will be analysing the corpse of “Thunderbirds”. Did the cutting of the strings result in a limp, boneless mess, or am I carrying a metaphor too far? Tune in on Sunday to see.
I am also accepting comments on “The War of the Worlds”, my next Film Forensic (tentatively due on Sunday 8th January). Please mail me or put a comment on this post if you have any salient pathology reports to add.
| State of body | Exquisitely preserved, apart from the fact that all the water in it had been instantaneously turned into steam. |
|---|---|
| Detail of inspection | Inspected twice. |
| Forensic Investigator | shellshear |
| Comments | A tragic pity that the body ended up on the slab. It nearly escaped injury altogether, except for one fatal miscalculation regarding a microwave steam gun. |
| State of Body | Not so fresh, but not completely stale. |
|---|---|
| Detail of Inspection | Inspected twice. |
| Forensic Investigator | winstoninabox |
| Comments | Could have had Hitchcock confusion, but instead ends up just a little Woozy. |
| State of body | Unseen. |
|---|---|
| Detail of inspection | Never inspected. |
| Forensic Investigator | shellshear |
| Comments | I didn’t dare to view the body. Instead, in a radical and unethical departure from the usual procedure, I have reconstructed it from my vague memories of the first film. |
