Andrew put in the 1982 Nicholas Nickleby. I think we're nearly through disc 2, and it should keep us entertained for a couple more days. It's only my second time watching it. The first time I didn't recognize Newman Noggs as Lord Peter Wimsey (thanks, sovay), and this time out we kept spotting Christopher Ravenscroft as various characters, and realized that bluff Yorkshire farmer John Browdie and slimy Sir Mulberry Hawke are both Bob "Clever girl!" Peck.
I decided to see what Petherbridge as been up to, and was worried to see that he had two strokes a while back while rehearsing Lear, but he seems to have recovered enough to write and act a play about the experience (in part so he had an excuse to do at least some of Lear onstage anyway) and he has a regular blog in which he also shows off his painting skills.
ETA -- I tried to fix the links above but I'm not sure why they don't work.

For the record, both links in this post seem slightly broken.

Date: 2017-01-20 02:43 am (UTC)From:Right now both of them include the URL of my post on Nicholas Nickleby, but pasted into the non-functional format http://http//sovay.livejournal.com/296061.html, which you will see has an extra "http//" (for some reason minus the colon) spliced in there so that they both go to the dead site http.com. Without looking at the HTML of your post, I have no idea how that happened.
