#Hugh of Avalon

[frequentpondcrosser]

“You will find united in this one individual all the patience, courtesy, courage, gentleness and other virtues possible in any mortal man. His presence will annoy nobody, he will not be shunned as a foreigner, rather everyone will treat him as a neighbour, as an old friend or as a brother. He loves the whole human race like himself: his abundant charity cherishes all men.” ~ Adam of Eynsham, praising the Carthusian prior, Hugh of Avalon—later Bishop of Lincoln—to King Henry II of England

mordred through time (movies, tv shows, opera and musicals)

Part 3: From 2002 to 2010

Other Parts: Part 1: From 1949 to 1981 -> here Part 2: From 1982 to 2002 -> here Part 4: From 2014 to 2017 Part 5: From 2018 to 2023

Complete list of part 2 media with extra information and some of my thoughs regarding the evolution of Mordred’s role is under cut.

In part 2 I talked a bit about how in movie adaptations (since Excalibur 1981) Morgause disappears and Morgana takes her role as Mordred's mother. Here I wanted to note how we actually have a very big gap of Mordred movies in the 2000s. Most of the media in this video are recordings of musicals or opera or tv shows.

Another small point is that we have here the second instance of Mordred in a romantic relationship (the first instance being Mordred and his lady in "Sword of Lancelot") in Merlin BBC, where his love for Kara is a central part of his character development. The third and only other instance will be in a webseries (in part 4!).

2002 Merlin the Return: Craig Sheffer plays an over the top extremely evil Mordred in this tv movie. He is still Morgana's son, and he is the main antagonist (and a wizard). The movie is - an experience. It mainly focus on modern day characters meeting time travelling Arthur and Merlin.

2003 Gary Hughes' album "Once and future king": The song is "The Hard Way", one of the two songs sung by Mordred (the other being "Demon Down"). This album (divided in two parts) has a total of 20 songs sung by different artists each interpreting an arthurian character. It is an interesting narrative musical that follows the rise and fall of Arthur. We do not know if Mordred is Arthur's son.

2003 recording of Albeniz's "Merlin" opera: This is a 1902 opera that is rarely performed nowadays. This recording is the only available dvd of it, and Mordred (a baritone) is played by Àngel Òdena. Mordred is the main antagonist alongside his mother Morgana.

2003 Camelot, Papermill Playhouse: I was lucky enough to have some bootlegs videos of Camelot performances so I decided to put them as well. It is pretty interesting to see how Mordred's "The Seven Deadly Virtues" and "Fie on Goodness!" gets campier, more comedici and sillier! Here Mordred is played by Barrett Foa.

2005 Camelot, Bad Hersfeld (Germany): Another recording of the Broadway musical, here fully translated in German! This is the website of the open air event. Unfortunately I could not find the name of the actor.

2008 Camelot (Live from Lincoln Center): Live from Lincoln Center used to be a tv series dedicated to filming and sharing musicals and performances. This is thus another Camelot musical adaptation. Bobby Steggert (who is now a therapist!!) played an over the top, super-campy, queer coded Mordred! This is probably the first time we have a Mordred that is so obviously queer coded in his presentation.

2008 Merlin (BBC): This 5 seasons tv show was extremely popular, so much it led to the rise of a bunch of arthurian tv movies that were probably trying to ride "Merlin"'s popularity. The show is episodic-like, slightly comedic, and focuses on Merlin and Arthur. Mordred appears as a child (not related to Arthur or Morgana) at the end of Season 1 and he was portrayed by Asa Butterfield (not in video). Then he returned as an adult in Season 5, potrayed by Alexander Vlahos. This is another instance of a sympathetic Mordred. While he ends up being a villain and finding an alliance with Morgana, the show makes a point to explain his reasons. At this point this is the second time we see a sympathetic (but still villanous) Mordred on tv. Interestingly this is also the second time we see a Mordred who is in a happy romantic relationship (there are only three instances, it seems, in all media!), as Mordred is in love with a woman named Kara.

2009 Merlin and the Book of Beasts: This is a fantasy tv movie that focus on Merlin helping Arthur's daughter reclaim Camelot. It features a baffling performance from Merlin's actor (not sure what the director or the actor himself was thinking), and a villain called Arkadian who is supposed to be Mordred and Arthur's son. Here we go back to the role of extremely evil Mordred, and Arkadian also kidnaps his half-sister to marry her and continue the Pendragon dynasty. Mordred (Arkadian) is played by Jim Thorburn.

2010 Avalon High: This is a tv Disney channel movie adaptation of Meg Cabot's novel by the same title. The movie butchers the main story of the novel and tries to surprise its viewers by changing the character's arthurian selves. The protagonist Allie is now King Arthur's reincarnation (instead of the Lady of the Lake), and William (her love interest) is... unknown character instead of being King Arthur. The novel has William's half brother as Mordred, but the movie changes that and now it is the teacher (Mr. Moore) who is revealed to be Mordred, while Marco is just a misdirection. Mr. Moore is played by Steve Valentine.

2010 Merlin and Arthur the Lion King: Continuing our journey into sympathetic Mordreds, we have another one here! This movie is one in a series of tv movies/dvd movies by variation of "Arthur" and "Merlin" in the title. My personal theory is that the hope is that people would find the movie by googling for more popular media (ex. "Merlin 2008 BBC", "King Arthur 2004"). In this animated kids movie, Mordred is a kitten and one of Arthur's friends. He first works with Morgana to stop Arthur from becoming king, but then ends up deciding he does not want to betray his friend anymore. This might be one of the few iterations of a completely redeemed Mordred in movies/tv!

Extra note: 2003 is also the year Heather Dale (singer) released her album "May Queen" which has one song that in my opinion seemed to be sung by Mordred or to Mordred: "Crashing Down". Because it is not certain but only my interpretation I did not add it.

In the same album we also have "War Between Brothers" which reference to Mordred (sung by an external narrator). A previous album ("The trials of Lancelot" in 2000) also contains the famous song "Mordred's Lullaby" which is sung by Morgana to Mordred.

The Lonely Planet Hotel will be opening its doors to guests in August! The extra long first chapter drops on August 19th (and is free to read!)

My new cozy, futuristic slice-of-life web novel is coming to Patreon with an extra long first chapter on August 19th! It will be releasing chapters in between scheduled chapters of The Wayward Souls of Avalon, so you're going to get two slice-of-life X soft sci-fi web novels for the price of one!

Lonely Planet Hotel tells the story of a runaway named Ellis Hughes who finds himself suddenly employed at a secretive, state of the art hotel in Antarctica. Following the day to day lives of the hotel staff, LPH delves into the inner workings of hospitality and what it means to be human! We hope to see you on our reservation list this August!

(Also wanted to mention that most of the cast is LGBTIQA+ and Ellis is non-binary, using he/they pronouns, and is also asexual! So if you're looking for a book with an ace MC, check out LPH! Also check out The Wayward Souls of Avalon, my other web novel, for more queer cozy rep!)

Anonymous asked: What do you think about John Oliver? (The British American comedian and talk show host.)

I honestly have no strong opinions about John Oliver only because I haven’t avidly watched all he’s done. What I have seen of his HBO show ‘Last Week Tonight’ left me lukewarm if not indifferent.

In England Oliver followed a well trodden path of most British comedian-satirists. He went through the Cambridge Footlights comedy club as a student at Cambridge - the seed bed of talent that included half of Monty Python, Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Richard Ayoade, and other notable writers and actors. But after that he reached what I say the second tier of British comedy fame by doing comedy gigs at Edinburgh every year, appearing on lots of BBC light hearted satirical news panel shows, and then briefly a podcast for the Times. So not a stand out success story.

But I don’t really blame John Oliver for that. It’s just how the comedy culture is in the UK. There just isn't that much room in Britain for non-standup comedians. It’s a very small ecosystem. If you're a stand-up (and I suspect, if you're represented by Avalon, the big UK comedy agents), you can get on the panel shows, do one man comedy tours, and probably get a sitcom gig - and thus make a decent living. If you're not quite that sort of comedian, or more of a writer/character comedian, you either scrape a living from Radio 4 for writing gigs, or you look elsewhere.

America came to Oliver’s rescue. He only really got visibility when his run of the mill stand up routines caught the attention of the producers at John Stewart’s Daily Show where he started as a writer. And the rest is history as they say with his own weekly satirical news show on HBO ‘Last Week Tonight’.

I don’t think it’s controversial to say he’s still not really known back in the UK. He’s an American citizen now from what I gather and so I’m sure he’s not too bothered given his own glittering achievement in the US.

But how may I explain why I feel underwhelmed towards the comedy of John Oliver?

I was comparing notes about the differences between American and Brit humour with an American work colleague who was at Harvard and almost did stand up comedy as alternative career in NYC but bombed. He really liked Oliver and really liked his humour. I couldn’t understand it until it dawned on me that Oliver’s brand of humour isn’t really British per se but very Americanised. I find a lot of his humour revolves around shouting things in a state of exasperated disbelief. In effect Oliver has that British sarcasm which, in the British accent, comes across as authoritative to the American ear and therefore more humorous. But he also has that classic American shouting and gawping aspect which typifies American comedy styles.

I think that type of humour isn’t really British and doesn’t go down too well as I think Brits prefer humour that is either more surreal or dry but delivered with more restraint, at least when it comes to political humour. I suspect a lot of Americans see him as the token ‘funny British guy’. That plays very well to American audiences. But I doubt being British in-and-of-itself isn't as easy to add to your comic persona if you're performing to a Brit audience.

Not to get meta but I think Oliver wants to have his cake and eat it. I get the suspicion that his performance is a performative in the sense that he plays what he thinks Americans like about British humour but it’s utterly watered down to the American market - in other words as dull as dish water and not very risqué or edgy that Brits are used to - or were until the cancer of woke infecting British comedy, case in point the canceling of foul mouthed but funny Scottish black comedian Jerry Sadowitz from the Edinburgh Fringe festival).

Worse, Oliver comes across as too polished for a Brit audience - “All tits and no teeth” as one comedian writer friend of mine at the BBC told me once.

I think if you see enough of his own show ‘Last Week Tonight’ you can lift the Wizard’s curtain and see the simple formula played on repeat each week.

Leaving aside the low hanging fruit easy gags (e.g. against Trump and Republicans in general). I have no issue going after politicians - I loathe them all - but it’s just not funny. Going after corporates is also fine. But I don’t think it’s particularly informative most of the time and especially where he is liable to misunderstand or twist facts. Not surprisingly his views on gender affirming care for children (ie mutilation and sterilisation of pre-pubescent children) is predictable hot mess of sheer ignorance and virtue signalling.

It’s not so much a criticism but as much older friends have pointed out that in many ways he’s mimicing an iconic satirical news show from the 1960s, David Frost’s ‘That Was The Week That Was’ that first broadcasting in 1962 and was a satire hit charting and subverting the changing nature of British society and cultural life in the 1960s. It didn’t last long but what it did was explode a satire bomb under British society for decades to come. In many ways it paved the way for Monty Python and Private Eye (a satirical magazine that still is the bane of the British political, media, and arts establishment).

Oliver’s show doesn’t have the comic wit and charisma to pull off great satire.

For me the irksome problem with Oliver is that he’s consciously manufactured being a British guy playing at being an American version of a British guy doing comedy. So the way he acts just doesn’t seem quite right to Brits looking in. Something smells off even as he looks and sounds so sanitised.

His brand of satirical comedy of speaking truth to power schtick doesn’t work in the UK if only because it’s already been done very well (Stewart Lee) or done really bad (Nish Kumar).

Moreover BBC shows like the long running ‘Have I Got News For You’ would be our equivalent of the Daily Show but as a panel show. Over its twenty odd years it been really good or just averaging, but it ticks that box of British self-deprecating style of humour while also dishing out cutting barbs. But whatever Oliver does still doesn’t come close to what British satire does (or used to do). 

Thanks for your question.

Week ending: 28th January

Wow, January is almost over already! That felt like a breeze! We do have three songs this week, though, so that's something - a real bit of turnover as we all get the Christmas frivolity out of our systems, and things take a turn for the more romantic. Which is probably for the best, honestly.

Why? - Anthony Newley (peaked at Number 1)

Hmmm. It's not exactly a dynamic start. Instead, Anthony begins this song with a gentle clip-clopping intro, all strummy guitar and chimes. I can't pin down exactly why it makes me think of a donkey plodding alongl, but it really does. It just sort of ambles along a bit aimlessly, with no real sense of drive or purpose. It's not offensively bad, but it's a bit lacklustre, at least for me.

Things don't get better as the lyrics come in, because they're nothing if not banal, a series of questions and answers, delivered almost like a catechism by Anthony: I'll never let you go. Why? Because I love you. I'll always love you so. Why? Because you love me. And so on and so on, ad infinitum. It's wearing, and also bordering on the tautological. Anthony will always love his love interest because... because they love him? There's something weirdly circular about it all, and definitely a bit pointless.

Pointless, but very charminly delivered, in a way that feels distinctly British to me, lots of lines about how I think you're awfully sweet, and such like. It's very soft and gentle, and politely awkward, in a very Hugh Grant-esque way. You can absolutely hear the David Bowie influence, too, even more than in Anthony's last song. This is something I think I'm going to be mentioning just about every time that Anthony has a hit, because it genuinely fascinates me - just some really random obscure singer that I bet very few people have heard of, but listen and you've got a full blueprint for where Bowie got his vocal stylings. Wild stuff.

I should also mention here that the song, despite feeling very British, was originally an American song, sung by none other than Frankie Avalon, notable teen idol. This is kind of interesting to me, because I think having a teenager sing it gives the song a different vibe completely. Coming from a teenager the rather shallow lines come off as sincere, a young man's description of falling in love for the first time. With Anthony, who's a bit older, and also British, you've got a different vibe, the sort of stuttering, gentle politeness we have here. He comes off as no less sincere, but a lot shyer, more hesitant, maybe not quite saying everything he feels. It's a different performance, and you get something different from it. Doesn't mean I love the song, but I can appreciate what he's doing with it, I guess.

Heartaches by the Number - Guy Mitchell (5)

Okay, so I think I know a version of this song? Not this version, though - the version I have in my head is a much slower, more mournful affair. Not that this version, by none other than Guy Mitchell, is a particularly happy song, but it's upbeat and pacy, with a whistling break, for heaven's sake. So it's got a slightly more cheery feel to it than I imagined, despite the rather downbeat lyrics.

Those lyrics, though. Man, Guy isn't doing well. He's got heartaches by the number / Troubles by the score / Every day you love me less / Each day I love you more. Yeouch! Thus begins a tour through all the romantic misfortunes that Guy's had. First his love left him, then they came back but without meaning to stay. Finally, they called to say they were coming back yet again, except while with hopeful heart I waited for your knock upon the door / I waited, but you must have lost your way. There's something about the plain dejection of it all. You want to shake Guy and tell him just to dump them, except you get the feel it wouldn't make a difference. And then, the kicker, as he concludes that Yes, I've got heartaches by the number / A love that I can't wind / But the day that I stop counting / That's the day my world will end. Even as he's being mistreated - and he knows he's being mistreated - he can't quite bring himself to cut mental ties, to stop obsessing over counting the ways his love has disappointed him. He's still keeping track, still hanging onto them. It's deeply unhealthy, but gosh, if it's not a compelling dynamic. Poor, pathetic man.

It's a proper country song, all banjo and southern twang, with a catchy tune and memorable lyrics. As such I'm also hardly surprised that it's become a bit of a country standard in the years after Guy recorded it. Seriously, there are versions out there by everyone from Ray Price to Buck Owens, Connie Francis, Bing Crosby, Waylon Jennings, Bill Haley and even Cyndi Lauper. Actually, I'd quite like to listen to the Connie Francis version. Mostly because I like everything she does. I suspect the version I've heard before is possibly the Ray Prince, the Buck Owens or even the Waylon Jennings version - I'm imagining a slightly slower, deeper voice, a real husky country complaint.

That said, I do think I'm warming to Guy's more upbeat treatment of it. It fits with the denial the narrator-character seems to be in, as he bemoans his heartaches, but also hangs onto the memories of them, unable to accept that he's lost them. He's still counting his heartaches, whistling along merrily as if to convince himself that it's fine, that they're going to come back to him, if only to break his heart for a fourth time.

A Voice in the Wilderness - Cliff Richard (2)

Crying "prepare the way for the Lord?" I joke, but there's definitely a smack of religion to this number - a premonition of Cliff hits to come? He only became an evangelical Christian in 1964, so it's probably a coincidence, but still, there's definitely a touch of the Biblical about a voice from the sky asking a lonely Cliff to haev faith in your darlin' and exhorting him to be true to her memory, she'll come back one day. You half expect the reveal to be that his love is dead, and that this is about some sort of reunion in the great hereafter.

Unfortuantely, the song then chooses to go in a much less interesting direction, with the reveal that Cliff's love isn't dead - they simply argued, and his love left him. We had a quarrel, he sings, I was unkind / Why did you leave me? Love made me blind. Now he mopes in the "wilderness" - no, I'm not sure what wilderness this is supposed to be, either - and sings mopishly to his love, asking her to have pity, come back now, I need you so much. Which again, is a bit pathetic. Honestly, if I was Cliff's girl, I wouldn't be so sure about going back to him, however much he evokes the voice of true love.

To be fair, I think even Cliff wasn't particularly enamoured with this one - he apparently pushed for its B-side, a song called Don't Be Mad at Me, to be made the A-side here. His manager insisted, however, and it's this song that became the hit, despite Don't Be Mad at Me being hailed as a great track. Meanwhile, at least one TV producer described this song as "an interminable drag of the first order". Which feels a little harsh, honestly - it's really not that bad, musically, just a bit pathetic - but still, never a good sign when the artist recording the song and the folks in charge of plugging it can't muster much enthusiasm for it.

It did, at least, get some publicity for being used in a film, the brilliantly-named Expresso Bongo. And honestly, the film sounds genuinely insane. It's about a sketchy talent agent called Johnny Jackson, who's incidentally got a girlfriend who's a stripper, and who he discovers a young rock and roll singer playing in a espresso bar, one Bert Rudge. Bert, under Johnny's tutelage, changes his name - I kid you not - to "Bongo Herbert" and has some success. Wacky hijinks then ensue, in ways that I assume were meant as a parody of how record labels and companies worked in the 1950s. Honestly, I don't know enough about it to judge whether this film is actually funny. I'm suspecting it wasn't, by the look of the plot summary I'm reading, but critics don't seem to have minded it at the time, barring one notably crap accent. Cliff played Bongo Herbert, of course. Which is interesting, given the complete lack of bongos in this song, but hey.

We're apparently in the mood for pathetic men, this week. And honestly, I can't blame anyone for that. However, I suspect it's only Guy who was "supposed" to come off as pathetic. With Anthony and Cliff it seems like more of an unintentional thing, a sort of creeping lameness. Neither of their songs are bad, exactly, but I think Guy's convinced me a bit more. Plus, it's been a while since we heard any country, so...

Favourite song of the bunch: Heartaches by the Number

St. Hugh of Lincoln. Hugh of Lincoln was the son of William, Lord of Avalon. He was born at Avalon Castle in Burgundy and was raised and educated at a convent at Villard-Benoit after his mother died when he was eight. He was professed at fifteen, ordained a deacon at nineteen, and was made prior of a monastery at Saint-Maxim. While visiting the Grande Chartreuse with his prior in 1160 A, D, It was then he decided to become a Carthusian there and was ordained. After ten years, he was named procurator and in 1175 A.D. became Abbot of the first Carthusian monastery in England. This had been built by King Henry II as part of his penance for the murder of Thomas Becket. His reputation for holiness and sanctity spread all over England and attracted many to the monastery. He admonished Henry for keeping Sees vacant to enrich the royal coffers. Income from the vacant Sees went to the royal treasury. He was then named bishop of the eighteen year old vacant See of Lincoln in 1186 A.D. - a post he accepted only when ordered to do so by the prior of the Grande Chartreuse. Hugh quickly restored clerical discipline, labored to restore religion to the diocese, and became known for his wisdom and justice.

He was one of the leaders in denouncing the persecution of the Jews that swept England, 1190-91A.D., repeatedly facing down armed mobs and making them release their victims. He went on a diplomatic mission to France for King John in 1199 A.D., visiting the Grande Chartreuse, Cluny, and Citeaux, and returned from the trip in poor health. A few months later, while attending a national council in London, he was stricken and died two months later at the Old Temple in London on November 16. He was canonized twenty years later, in 1220 A.D., the first Carthusian to be so honored.

She later became the abbess of the convent and died there Feastday: Nov. 17

ST. ELISABETH OF HUNGARY, FRANCISCAN TERTIARY, Nov. 17 When she died at the early age of 24, Elizabeth of Hungary was already considered a saint by many.

ST. GREGORY THAUMATURGUS, BISHOP OF NEOCESAREA Born in 213, the young pagan Gregory (originally Theodore) became a Christian and a bishop so renowned for his preaching and for the miracles worked by his hands that people called him “Thaumaturgus,” “wonder-worker.” His feast day is celebrated on November 17. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/saints/11/17/st--gregory--thaumaturgus--bishop-of--neocesarea.html
