government has warned that summer is the most dangerous season. The U.S. national oceanic and atmospheric administration says more than 200 people are killed by lightning in that country each year, including those who die in lightning-caused fires. If caught outside during a storm, scientists give the following rules: Do not seek shelter under a tree in an open area as the tree is a natural lightning rod. Avoid projecting yourself above the landscape, such as standing on a hilltop, on the beach, in an open field or golf course or fishing from a small boat Put down golf clubs and avoid metal objects such as farm equipment, motorcycles, bicycles, and raised by Claude Frollo, the archdeacon, as played by Kenneth Haigh.

All was going reasonably well for Quasimodo, although he did go deaf from swinging about up there in the lonely belltower. The real action begins when the gypsy girl Esmeralda (Michelle Newell), the Virgin of Paris, turns up in town. The gypsy girl had those gypsy qualities: a free-falling mane of dark hair and a swirling skirt with a peasant blouse. When she danced in the streets she played the tambourine. When she slept in a straw-littered stable she slept with a smile.

Of course everybody worshipped her, everbody but the rakish Captain Phoebus. Quasimodo loved her; Christopher Gable, "the unwanted scribler of unwanted verse," wanted her; Claude Frollo thought her "a common strumpet" but drooled when he watched her from the shadows. Even Billy, the bambi-like pet goat loved Esmeralda. The entire production winced from a very audible studio echo. This was balanced and updated with the use of a wide-angle camera lens, which provided an interesting streak of surrealism modestly deployed for the television audience.

As it is in other works by Hugo and his contemporaries, The Hunchback of Notre Dame suffers from a disease of the literate: too many people mouthing too many words. In an age when men could wear leotards without public ridicule, we have characters implausibly lyrical. Of course these flights of oratory could have been mended with a pair of scissors. But then any posthumous editing would have driven someone with Hugo's temperament absolutely bananas. 1 I 1 I Tonight's topic: Pollution in the Burrard Inlet.

He was flippant, tended to take serious matters lightly and although cantankerous and sometimes bitter, he would reduce a serious issue to absurdity for a good laugh.

Artistically, there was no question of his lasting genius: his anticlassfcal style set a standard that would dominate French scribbling for decades. They called it Romanticism. we call it soap. Politically, Hugo was schizophrenic: he bounced from being a Bonapartist to a Royalist, back to being a Bona-partist again, before moving on to a peerage from Louis Phillip in 1848, and then over to Marx's newly-born socialism. He died a Republican.

Quite naturally, this attitude spread throughout his family to his daughter, Adelle, particularly, who was the subject of a Truffaut movie, Adelle a tale about a woman who goes bananas. In fact, this very sensitive subject going bananas is an essential element in Hugo's work. In many of his books, madness, or the uncomfortable nearness of it, produces the necessary element to keep the tale moving right along. It was a great gimmick. One of Hugo's most successful works was the classic Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), an historical novel set against a background of Paris in the time of Louis XI (around 1485).

The book was published in 1831 and made into a movie starring Charles Laughton in 1939. Because of a business relationship between NBC and the BBC, Channel 5 brought us a new production on Monday directed by Allan Cooke and written for the tube by Robert Muller. The British came up with the talent, the Yanks came up with the cash. It was not unusual for Hugo to offer an unrealistic plot the easier it becomes to sway you, my dear and The Hunchback was no exception. Warren Clarke's Quasimodo still guilts us terribly, but he just wasn't ugly enough.

His harelip was precision, even more amazing since they don't teach that in theatre schools. Clarke had just the right sausage-sized tongue to roll around in his mouth when Quasimodo became emotional. He's deformed and deaf. The left eye is inches below the right and aimed in the opposite direction. And his rags have the rips and tears in the appropriate places.

But the problem, it seems, was that Clarke had trouble eliciting the double whammy fear and pity simultaneously. Which is a weighty burden for any thespian, no doubt, but essential if we're to lend our sympathies to the underdog.
