The thing is, I'd forgotten what it was he actually stole and I was deeply amused to find that it was a diamond in a 19th C imperial situation, just like in The Moonstone - so Martin Jarvis stole no less than two fabulous diamonds in two years in the 70s, and deservedly failed to profit from either.
At least if he only did it twice, he realized he couldn't make a career of it and stopped?
(My winner in this category, of weirdly specific repeat incidents, is Peter Jeffrey, who managed to be burned to death twice in one year by the BBC in 1972.)
Doing the same sort of thing? Or did immolation just follow him wherever he was trying to go?
(If I had a time machine I would burn all fake facial hair instead of the TV episodes, excepting only the sacred Brigly moustache and the Eyebrows of Adam Adamant, of course.)
It's amazing how many people were not designed by nature for mustaches and yet art stuck them right on anyway.
but it just took away a bit from the series taken as part of it, whereas Mr Palfrey ended on at least a nice note.
I thought so. And I appreciated it, because the last episode was obviously not in any sense a planned finale (there is some arguable bookending with the first episode, but also some threads that look as though they could have been picked up later), but everyone gets to be human and it's probably true that their job isn't good for any of them, but for the foreseeable it's going to be all right, which is sometimes the best you can ask for.
