BBC Eagle of the Ninth

Oct 11, 2012 22:55

Continuing on from a previous post, I though people might be interested in seeing some screen captures from the BBC 70s version of Eagle of the Ninth, including most of the main characters (complete with very 70s hair and facial hair!).






I also have a copy of this verion of Eot9, which was probably taped from the same final broadcast on Australian TV in the 80s, as offered by the guy in Melbourne. I am happy to offer it, so anyone interested can watch it, but I'd suggest trying the other DVD first, which will hopefully be a much clearer version. Unfortunately, the old tape I have was in horrible condition when I cross-taped it to DVD some years ago, so it is missing most of Episode 3, and Episode 2 is rather badly damaged, too.

I was able to make some screencaps, at least, for interest. Click through twice to bring up a slightly larger version of the images.

Marcus:



Esca:



Marcus & Esca (and Cub):



Cottia:



Various Romans (Drusillus, Uncle Aquila, Stephanos, Guern,and Legate Claudius with Uncle Aquila and Marcus). Placidus is missing with Episode 3, and Marcus' father is in the image outside the cut:



Various Celts (Cradoc, Guinhumara, the Druid, Dergdian and Liathan)
