Comedy - Armed with nothing but his heroic chin, a questionable understanding of astrophysics, and a spaceship that runs on whatever’s left in the glove compartment, Flash is whisked away to the nefarious planet of Mongo, where the diabolical Emperor Ming the Mildly Irritating has a cunning plan to do something probably quite bad. But first—paperwork!

Quite unexpectedly (as these things tend to be), an entirely new planet has sidled into our solar system, graciously promising to collide with Earth at its earliest convenience. Dr. Hans Zarkov, who by now must be on some cosmic watch list for Very Peculiar Scientists, greets the crisis by pointing a gun at Flash Gordon and Dale Arden and bundling them into his rocket. As you do.
They soon land on the curiously named planet Mongo, presided over by the diabolical Emperor Ming the Merciless—whose mercilessness might, in polite company, be described as “thorough.” Ming whips up a casual bit of gladiatorial entertainment, pitting Flash against a herd of Monkey Men who have evidently skipped several important lessons in etiquette. Fortunately, Princess Aura (who clearly has a thing for chiselled but slightly confused heroes) intervenes to save our intrepid Earthling.
Meanwhile, the Lion Men choose this very moment to attack Ming’s palace with their state-of-the-art Space Gyros, causing general havoc, flamboyant yowling, and property damage of truly cosmic proportions. Teaming up with the charismatic Prince Thun—who wields a delightful line in heroic one-liners—Flash dashes off to rescue Dale from Ming’s forced wedding, thus ensuring that planetary collisions, interstellar politics, and bizarre monkey-based sporting events are all suitably thwarted in time for tea.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
