“比格斯夫人”是一个真实存在的人物,她是英国臭名昭著的火车大盗Ronald Biggs背后的女人。本剧将有五集,讲述这个女人的心路历程,从一个天真少女被迫变成一个恶棍的情妇;从专横的父亲手中逃脱,体会自由与母性的美好。《比格斯夫人》向我们深入地展现了二十世纪最恶名昭彰的犯罪之一,但更重要的是为观众揭示了一段跨越三十余年、流传全世界的爱情故事。
本书原著出版于2021年,故事围绕着Samantha饰演的主角——一位退休的考古学家“Judith”(《唐顿庄园》“Lady Rosamund” Samantha Bond饰演)展开;她独自住在宁静的Marlow镇一栋有些年份的豪宅里,通过为当地报纸做填字游戏来打发时间。有一天,当“Judith”例行在泰晤士河野外游泳,她听到邻居花园里传来枪声,并且确信发生了一起残酷的谋杀案。
当警察不愿相信她的故事时,Judith发现自己与当地的遛狗人/空巢老人“Suzie”(《神秘博士》“Ruth” Jo Martin饰演)以及不得志的牧师妻子“Becks” (、《睡魔》“Zelda” Cara Horgan)建立了不太可能的友谊,于是三人开始了自己的调查。最终,众人被要求协助参与一场由刚刚履职的 “Tanika”(《真相捕捉》“Aliza” Natalie Dew饰演)所领导的警方调查。Judith和她的朋友们必须拼凑线索,盘问嫌疑人(证人),并面对真正的危险,同时她们争分夺秒地追踪与阻止凶手。
1969年10月5日,当这五个英国佬和一个美国佬第一次胡言乱语恬不知耻地出现在BBC电视台上时,整个英伦三岛都傻了眼。从这天开始,在之后短短的四年间,“巨蟒剧团”及其六位成员的名字通过《飞翔的马戏团》这套空前成功的电视喜剧节目,很快成为了英国现代文化的一个标志。也正是从《飞向的马戏团》开始,“巨蟒”逐渐为世界所熟知,并以自己独特的幽默方式开创了一种至今仍被全世界(尤其是好莱坞)广泛效仿和套用的喜剧类型。
《飞翔的马戏团》从形式上看类似于今天的电视小品,但它绝不受任何一种规范或模式的约束,我们从头至尾也看不到一个惯用的伎俩或模式化的重复。6个高智商活宝的创作灵感永远天马行空随兴所至,每一集的内容或破碎或连贯,可能是几个独立的故事,可能是几条相互交叉的线索,也可能是一堆毫无瓜葛的碎片。只要是他们灵机一动想到的东西,全都大胆地用摄影机拍摄了下来。除了极个别偶尔客串的朋友(在迫不得已的情况下他们必须需要的“性感美女”角色,都是由“真正的”女演员卡萝尔-克力夫兰扮演的),整套剧中几乎所有有台词的角色都是活宝们亲自上阵,你所能像想到的各式奇装异服的打扮几乎全被他们尝试过了。
《飞翔的马戏团》嘲弄取笑,有时甚至是恶意羞辱的对象包括历史人物、哲学理论、政治立场、宗教教义、社会现象、公众意识等等。从维多利亚女王到普通的英国家庭妇女,从电视媒体制造的泡沫到日常生活中实实在在的细枝末节都是他们信手拈来的素材。而“巨蟒”对暴力或性等争议话题的处理也非常巧妙,既不会显得遮遮掩掩,也让审查机构无可奈何,这其中当然少不了泰里-基廉巧思妙想穿插剧中的卡通制作的功劳。
事实上,初看《飞翔的马戏团》或任何一部“巨蟒制造”的观众很可能会感到难以适应。乡土气极重的杜撰英国口音和有时显得十分白痴的行为和聒噪的对白会让人不知所云,而且节目中很大一部分内容也的确是纯属白痴的胡闹和小丑式的插科打诨。而这节目妙就妙在,这些貌似毫无价值的胡话连篇中经常会迸发出让人惊叹的绝妙创意,从极粗俗的角度彻底揭露人类文明中所有道貌岸然的嘴脸。大概所谓“大智若愚”的最高境界就在于此了。
