but what's an Edward Petherbridge when it's at home?
Edward Petherbridge played Lord Peter Wimsey across from Harriet Walter's Harriet Vane in the BBC adaptations of Strong Poison, Have His Carcase, and Gaudy Night in 1987. The scripts are flawed, but the two of them are very good; I wish they'd had the budget to go on with Busman's Honeymoon. He also played Newman Noggs in the RSC's astonishing The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (1980), which I cannot recommend highly enough—I have written about the character here. Otherwise I mostly read his blog and regret that I never saw him in the same production of The Duchess of Malfi as Ian McKellen and Eleanor Bron. He can paint, too.
Also, you totally need to write this. I know your slate is brimming, but knock her into the queue maybe.

I'll try. I'm really feeling brain-dead.
