They managed not to work with one another until the 2010's and have since become something of a pair. I'm not actually sure how they managed to avoid one another during the '70's. I'm still charmed.
Aw, that is rather nice! <3
you neglected to warn me that Clive Francis and Angharad Rees were reteamed for it in the funniest possible fashion, i.e. Oliver and Celia do not even meet except insofar as his reputation precedes him and then he shows up with his confession
Ha, it's been a while since I watched that one, or even the more recent Branagh one I did about 2 or 3 years ago & I never studied it, so even had I assumed I knew it better than you, which wouldn't usually seem like good odds (to me), I had forgotten the precise circumstances.
Orlando expresses his doubts of their insta-courtship and the audience is like, eh, their track record as scene partners includes a spectacular hug, they'll be fine.
Why not, heh?
Mirren was unsurprisingly terrific and I am trying to figure out why I had an "oh, that guy" reaction to Richard Pasco.
Not that I am going to complain about Helen Mirren in a thing (XD) - this was my intro to the play, and good though she of course is, I felt somehow nevertheless that she was not 'my' Rosalind, surprisingly. Which was one of the reasons I jumped on the other version, even aside from Romola Garai and David Oyelowo in the leads, and I really did like Bryce Dallas Howard a lot in that; she had a lighter touch, I thought, and that felt more like what I had instinctively wanted. But Helen Mirren is also in the BBC Cymbeline as Imogen and I thought she was particularly great in that; I loved her performance.
Richard Pasco, though, is IMO Jaques of all time and I love him so much in this, I requested him for Yuletide one time. I don't think I'm supposed to like Jaques as much as I do here! I'm not sure what your recognition is from, but am going, "Well, naturally!" anyway. Seems legit. I had only ever seen him in as a rather dour and solemn Brutus in the BBC Shakespeare Julius Caesar opposite David Collings's Cassius before, so this was a fun contrast. (I mean, I know I've linked to vids from that several times, so it might partially account for the recognition?)

Anyway, yay, Poldark reunions! \o/
