Other than the covers of my Mum's books (I didn't think much of him there; the Poldark TV ins chose very unflattering shots), I first saw him properly as Essex in Elizabeth R (so add another century to the count), and he impressed me enough that I gave in and watched my mum's TV show that she'd been going on about.

I am glad he was much improved when not on a book cover.

The Moonstone (1972) with Martin Jarvis (RE as Franklin Blake, MJ as Godfrey Ablewhite

I am afraid that would be the one I didn't watch because it didn't have Anton Lessser as Ezra Jennings, but I can keep it in mind!

Oh, and he was Helena Bonham-Carter's father in A Dark Adapted Eye (one of those 90s Barbara Vine Mysteries we were talking about a little while ago)

Nice.

Like most people I take an interest in, he once played opposite Suzanne Neve, but not in a thing I can have.

Availability or content? Condolences either way.
