Rewatching all the episodes #5
Quick, have a post about the first 4 eps of the second DVD disc before I have to go and do some work or something useful!
Hunter Hunted
Oh, one of my favourite episodes ever! Favouritest bits include Doyle, of course - the hair! the car! the transparent shirt! And sliding past Bodie with his hands on B's waist - ohhh! And the pause on the gangplank! The lift over the side of the boat! Swoon! Marty, checking out Doyle! And not forgetting Bodie's speech to Kathie Mason - delicious!
Okay, perhaps there were a few too many exclamation marks there. Ahem. Sorry. Back to other stuff wot I noticed.
An old warehouse - where do they find them? I thought Cowley was a bit wasteful - after all, he might have lost an agent when he dazzled him off the roof, and he does say later that replacements are expensive.
Bodie is watching Doyle again and picks up on Doyle's concern about the Porsche despite only seeing the back of Doyle's head: "Got a problem?"
Doyle has another flat again, but this one is very trendy. Although he seems to have a patchwork quilt on his bed - perhaps his aunty knitted it for him? There are postcards on Doyle's fridge but I can't quite make out where they're from - who do you think sent those, then? When Bodie pounces on him and checks out the yard etc. Bodie takes Doyle's key and opens his door for him - mirroring what Doyle did for Kathie when he took her home *g* Have I mentioned how much I love this episode?
First Night
In the opening shots, the London skyline is flat and empty!
I was intrigued when the lads are talking in the Capri about guns. Doyle says to Bodie, "That's not where you got mine from." Was it a present, then? Hmmm... And I didn't know there was a siren in the Capri.
There is the most beautiful staircase when they meet the Minister! (I love grand staircases)
Terms you don't hear nowadays - Doyle refers to the mysterious line in the photo as perhaps being used to hang nylons, and Cowley says he'd asked for a plain poplin shirt. [We should compile a handy list of terms that were in use then and aren't now, perhaps - unless one exists already?] And Bodie has a very fetching waffle vest - do you think it was thermal? Bless *g*
Just to go with the outdated terminology, I was interested in the apology to Cowley at the end that 'It's only Indian [tea], I'm afraid." Not something you'd hear often these days, I don't think.
The Rack
Aha! Keys! Only they're not the right keys, of course. At least I think they're keys - but what would they be for? Answers on a postcard, please, no need to keep it too clean.
Doyle looks so, so beautiful in this episode - and suffers so, so beautifully as well *g*
A train with a corridor! Remember those?
CI5 HQ is now very industrial. The signage is most interesting - Male Cloak Rooms 213 - 424, Female Cloak Rooms 1013 - 1347, In, Out, To Male shower and toilets. The interrogation rooms don't look entirely secure though, with swing doors *g*
My favourite Minister! I love the cheeky twinkle in his eye :)
Doyle is in the same flat (that must be a relief) and there is a long shelf with Penguin books, a massive storage heater under the window and what appear to be cigarette cards on the wall. His rug is rather tatty too. Perhaps he's thrown too many books at it.
I was surprised at Cowley's sexist comment to the Mather woman: "perhaps you could sit on my knee" but utterly delighted by Bodie's grey trousers *g*
Man Without A Past
Bodie's girlfriend Claire grimaces in the restaurant rather than smiles - very odd! In the hospital, Bodie and Doyle are reverse images of one another - Bodie has a dark jacket and light shirt, Doyle has a light jacket and dark shirt.
I pondered about a couple of things in this episode: I'm not at all convinced that the Great British Public would applaud Bodie's gymnastic feat when they saw the gun; mother and daughter Forrest are remarkably old-fashioned; Pendle drapes himself very familiarly over Crabbe. I was interested in Crabbe's house/flat as well - first I thought it was rather a grand house, and then I got confused by the corridors and the lift and the garage. Was it a block of flats, then? And in the car park (the one where Forrest's car is blown up) the sign on the outside reads "Headroom 1.9 meters (6 feet 3 inches)" - I hadn't realised that we'd gone that metric!
Okay, that really is it now until the weekend. A bientot, then - or bye voor nu *g*
