1970s TV yet again

[lost_spook]

Or: I am all excited!

Somebody has put all of Shadow of the Tower up on YouTube! (I know, copyright etc., but I had to buy a Dutch edition, because there's no UK version, thanks 2Entertain for that. There is a Region 1 version). Also, because unlike some things also up there (the amazing Elizabeth R which everybody should watch unless they

David does a wonderful line in tortured souls though, doesn't he?

(and you've given me a bloody huge crush on Poul... thanks for that!)

:lol: He's had practice - he started his TV career as Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment, so he got pretty solidly typecast for ages as mentally/emotionally disturbed.

I can't possibly take the blame for Poul; it's the BBC's fault. If they didn't want people to have crushes on Poul, they shouldn't have made RoD.

[femme_slash_fan]

LOL, well, that explains it!

Oh, it is SO your fault.... I kinda got into him via the spams of him you've done and suddenly... instant crush on Poul... even if I spend half the time wanting to mother him... IDEK.

I... may steal that GIF.

(Oh!! THAT's where you went!! oops...)

If I ever do another multi-fic I'll make sure to PM you when I'm done eating people's timelines. :)

Ha, okay. That was me... But don't worry, that's the usual pattern for liking David Collings. It's all fine and dandy till suddenly someone or something makes you notice him. (If it gets any worse, never fear, you can join us strange people over at david_collings.)

Oooh. Interesting. May have to check this out when I'm done marathoning Daniel Craig's James Bond movies (in honour of Skyfall coming out on DVD tomorrow.)

[lost_spook]

Ha. Gosh, fancy you even noticing when Skyfall comes out. I thought you didn't like it.

:-)

[persiflage_1]

Such sarcasm!

:D

(It's not like I've been counting down the days until its release, or anything!)

[lost_spook]

Aw, only fond teasing. It's lovely to see people enjoying themselves fannishly, even if I don't always share the fandom. ♥

(No, I'm sure it came as a complete shock to you when you realised its release date. ;-p)

Oh, and more relevant to your interests than Henry VII - did you ever see this scene from an old 1960s BBC Henry V - with Robert Hardy as Henry doing the wooing scene with an incredibly young Judi Dench? (She looks much too young for being kissed like that. :lol:) other half of it here)

I love Elizabeth R. Still need to watch Duchess of Duke street. Having just finished series 1 of Onedin Line I think that will be our next 70s show to watch :)

[lost_spook]

:-)

Oh, I'm sure you'll like Duchess. It's not perfect by any means, but it's mostly a lot of fun (although S2 goes very dark/sad, mainly because of WWI, be warned) and Gemma Jones's character is so fierce and amazing!

[femme_slash_fan]

Sorry, excuse me butting in but... ICON. Where did you get it? it's gorgeous!!

[scifi_mel]

My K9 and Leela one? I just made it myself.

[liadtbunny]

Hurrah for the dodgy youtuber! The news cheered me after the Ruth Rendall story disappeared off my "to watch" list, bah, ruddy copyright. I'm still getting SotT on DVD though as it's fairly cheap. I thought you made it sound good in your review ages ago!

[lost_spook]

Aw. I thought you'd like that. He's particularly good in it, although, as usual, Simmons is not especially nice - or mentally stable. :-)

Oh no? Was the Ruth rendell up? And gone? I looked for it ages ago but with no luck. I don't really like RR, but I'd like to see a bit of it, for obvious reasons, but also out of curiosity because he's married to his wife (again) in that one, I think.

[liadtbunny]

Ah, business as usual:) I keep thinking David Collings must be very sane in rl considering his roles!

The title was hidden something like RRTST. Youtube keeps taking David Collings clips off, is there a conspiracy? ITV3 show the odd Ruth Rendall occasionally, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

[lost_spook]

Or, of course, he's one of those people who always play themselves and in fact, he breaks down while going round the supermarket all the time. When he's not lurking about the shelves conspiring, that is.

(I think you're probably right. Heh.)

You are very dedicated. It makes me feel much less worried about myself. :lol:

[akashasheiress]

Hah, I might have been indirectly involved with that one ending up on youtube!

Sorry, missed this post first time around. ;)

[lost_spook]

I might have known!! ;-)

(And I never mind belated comments.)

[akashasheiress]

I actually noticed this entry because I was looking for that Elizabeth/Dudley Shadow in the Sun vid that you gave me a link to once (found it!).

[lost_spook]

Ah, yes, that's such a good vid, isn't it? :-)
