Here's a Whacked-Out Wednesday British TV show for you. It was called "She-Wolf Of London," but also had the alternative title "Love & Curses."
In the "Not To Get Confused With" Department, there was an American TV movie made in 1991 that was titled "Love And Curses...And All That Jazz," that had a vaguely similar story line, and it came out when this show was still on the air.
"She-Wolf Of London" was very early in the career of Kate Hodge, and she has been a staple on TV ever since! It appears that she has been taking some time off since last year.
Neil Dickson has been mowing and going for years, and has done of voices for cartoons like "Gargoyles," "The Wild Thornberrys," and video games like "Star Wars: The Old Republic," and "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare."
Your basic story is that this American Gal named Randi Wallace, has gone to London to study.
She becomes rather smitten with her English instructor, and then she gets bitten by a werewolf. After they kind of sort things out, they spend the rest of the series working together investigating supernatural phenomena.
Awesome lead in photo!
And speaking of awesome, I don't think anything goes better with London Werewolves than Bavarian Blues, and if you don't believe me, then check it out for yourself!
Bitte schön!!
This show also also has a lot of comedic elements in it, like the fact that Randi, the future She-Wolf, is also a vegetarian!
Then of course there's the fact that her name is Randi, and randy in England is a term for being horny, or sexually aroused!
Neil Dickson is Professor Ian Matheson. Ian tells Randi that his family has a B&B with a vacant room, and this is a good plot device to have them spend more time together. Ian is also attracted to Randi, but since he is her instructor, he needs to keeps his hands off!
Randi makes a big mistake when she decides to spend a night in the moors!
She's actually quite fearless, but that changes in a hurry!
Randi is viciously attacked by a werewolf that rips her tent to shreds!
The next thing she knows when she wakes up, is that she is in a hospital!
Randi is now a full-time werewolf, but she is not even aware of it until the next full moon shows up!
Ian, who likes to approach all things intellectually, and logically, still rejects what he sees with his own eyes, because it doesn't make sense to his educated brain!
But some of the damage is undeniable proof that something ain't right!
After her first She-Wolf incident, Randi ends up in the shower and locker room of the university, and there is a randy moment when she has to introduce herself to some male students!
Ian and Randi go on a picnic to the same area where she was attacked, and she does a sketch of Ian that proves her brain isn't quite working the same as it used to.
On the way back, they stop at a Gypsy camp to get their fortune read, and everything is cool until Randi pulls out a broken ring she found at the attack site. The session is quickly ended!
This dude shows up, and Randi can sense that he is the guy who was the werewolf that bit her, and he obviously knows who she is too, so he jumps in his car and takes off like the madman that he is!
It doesn't work out well for him or her. He dies and she gets no answer to her questions. When they return, the gypsies have packed up and moved on.
Despite everything he's seen, Ian still has a hard time believing, but he is willing to lock Randi up when the next full moon comes up!
In episode two, one of Ian's Aunts, finds a Bog Man buried on her property. It's a body from long ago buried in the bog for centuries that comes to life and murders people, kind of like a Mummy without a tomb, or bandages, or a Master, and Ian and Randi go to investigate etc. etc.
