Part Two: Recurring Characters & Episode Guide.

From jjpor: It's the morning after the revolution before. The Evil Empire has fallen; the Plucky Rebels won against impossible odds, as Plucky Rebels tend to do. Now they've just got to deal with the messy aftermath and, you know, actually govern the place. Preferably

\o/ Have a rest & a cake! It was a shame the series never got a second one, espc when there was an umade ep with the dead survivor of Salisbury's twin brother turning up. I blame Survivors for getting all the budget, like when Blake's 7 started and nobody wanted Who anymore.

Everybody's concerned about power - electricity and gas 70's alert!

Has David Gwillim been in a historical thingy? He looks familiar. It'll be embarrassing if it's 'The Legend of Robin Hood'.

Poor David Collings he's such a fragile thing(!). Don't go to Sailbury! Of course, his demise was discussed in future episodes too?

It looks bad for the Tyrant's widow, if the rebels don't get her, it'll go all Lord Haw Haw.

David Collings got distressed and committed suicide again Wasn't that his proposed 'Up Pompeii' episode?:P

I get bored when I know a characters going to die in the first five mins, so it was perhaps as well I had a migraine that week.

I'm glad Gwillim didn't take revenge against Alfred Burke for executing him;) I don't think he's in Robin Hood, but I was thinking of cakefic when I was watching it, to get over more malfunctioning boiler fun.

Bit hard to take revenge once you're dead. Although, I suppose I haven't checked they never were in anything again together...

Thinking of cake fic is always a sensible response! Really! *cough*

:-D

[persiflage_1]

Excellent work! *hugs*

[lost_spook]

Thanks! :-D

[lolmac]

Did you HAVE to kill David Collings? *pout* I want fix-it fic now.

[lost_spook]

It was the law in 1973. You could only not kill him if he was evil. Sometimes he was both.

I suppose you could have fix-it fic where he faked his suicide because he was scared of Julian Glover shouting at him! There you go...

(I got so into this that killing off David Collings failed to engage my brain for more than about five minutes... 0_o)

The show really did eat your brain, didn't it? I hope it gives it back nicely.

Is the Arran / Hallam assonance intended to suggest that the two mightn't be as dissimilar as they'd like to think, when push came to shove?

[lost_spook]

:-)

And I didn't think about that aspect - also, while I've tended to write "Arran" in the quotes, that's for ease. He reverts to Colonel Seaton once he's in power, really.

I could have pretended that was a yes, but it's probably just my brain tending to certain sorts of names or something.

Oh, you seem to have had so much fun with this - fantastic job!

[lost_spook]

Thank you! It really was fun to do - I didn't know what to do with myself yesterday evening when there was no more point in writing random dialogue. :lol:

And, btw, I did put Ian Marter in there for you (episode 6, I think - The Tyrant's Widow). I don't think he even got killed. ;-D

[llywela13]

Episode 5. D'aww, thank you. Yay for even a cameo. Stunt make-believe casting can be tremendously fun!

And yes, I know, it does feel really weird when you finish a project - like emerging blinking from a tunnel into daylight wondering what the heck is this thing called 'free time'...

[lost_spook]

Oh, he's a pretty major guest star for the ep, I assure you! :-D
