They had some old tie-in covers in my library when I was first reading and I used to look at them and go NOPE NOPE, NOT YOU SIR.
I mean, as explained ad infinitum, my ideal Wimsey looks like Leslie Howard, but I accepted Edward Petherbridge, speaking of people I will blow a fuse when something happens to. Kenneth Colley's timing was terrible: I had already after showing spatchMississippi Masala (1991) had to check that Roshan Seth was still around.
I was thinking (because obviously) would I rec this to sovay? And then I was: well, they would like the Esmond Knight part anyway, there is that. So, lol, glad to see that was correct!!
The Esmond Knight factor is not to be discounted, but also the way that David Davies himself becomes a kind of ghost in the past year's present broadcast at the same time that he is travelling toward the event horizon of his own death, acknowledged by Gwyneth so matter-of-factly: "Because you're coming our way." He's the human character who is most tangled up with time, which in addition to his problem being the most resonant (and the oldest: life or kleos) makes him the most interesting of the group to me.
It is weird that it's not a J. B. Priestley time play. It would, I think have been less relentlessly WWII-didactic if it had been.
We have proof it would! The Halfway House and They Came to a City came out the same summer of 1944 and I have no idea what anyone made of Ealing's output at that time.
Oh, and Shardlake made it to a regular channel as well, so I hope to try that.
I have another friend who's really enjoying that one! I look forward to your thoughts if you write them. The rest sounds like a bonanza.
