An enjoyable piece. I’ll watch Gareth Thomas in pretty much anything, and he’s on his usual entertaining, if somewhat theatrical form. I love the scene where he and Maggie Fitzgibbon break @40:50. I’m not familiar with Rosemary Williams but she’s excellent here; warm, yet feisty and cute as a button. Clifford Evans, holding court, is very good, but the real star of the show might be the train and its journey.
This also featured Leonard Sachs, who was the former chairman of The Good Old Days. At this point, TGOD would've been in its 23rd year on air. Cheers 🥂 mate ❤ 😊
Having grown up in the UK during this period, I had to laugh about the British Rail delay. I’ve been in the US since the early 80’s, but experienced a similar delay when I was back in the UK in June. I guess some things never change! Very interesting story. Gareth Thomas will always be Blake 7 to me.
Allways be Stockers Copper to me(BBC I think,) 1968 and Mr Duthie,Procurator Fiscals Asistant Sutherlands Law(BBC1974) Ian Cuthbertson as Sutherland,great Scottish actor,yet another ex army officer turned actor.
Having Gareth Thomas Blake from classic sci-fi series Blake,s Seven in this is awesome in billions of ways a shame Gareth Thomas is now deceased and gone from this world.
Each play is better than the last. Pity the same can't be said for today's television programmes. Would you have the play entitled A Little Rococco, with Paul Nicholas? I'd recorded it on VHS when broadcast but the machine chewed the tape. Most upsetting at the time.
If I may ask, how old are you? Me, I'm 80 and have spent years and years trying to ravel and unravel the whole world history and how labor and communism and the left were in mortal struggle with individualism and the capitalist right and how it came to a head in the western worlds culminating in Germany I suppose.
@@jjroseknows777 I don’t do politics it bores me to tears if I am totally honest , just like this whole piece did , don’t know why I carried on watching it to be honest with you🤣🤣😝
