BigJackBrass Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: 'Excellent." Who is just as well-known in Britain as rougish veterenarian Tristan Farnon in the TV adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small as he is for Doctor Who. And given your sig I'm surprised you didn't mention his role as Campion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Re: 'Excellent." I have that ep on DVD already. Speaking of which my boxset of 9th Doctor. 2 weeks to arrive from the UK, and $36 under my local price - not bad, not bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: 'Excellent." On a slightly off topic note - the leak of the episode Rose on the internet for the new series - was there ever an inquiry? Did they find out who did it, or did anyone claim responsibility for it?

However, I don't think anything serious in the way of criminal charges is likely to come from it -- the publicity actually helped the BBC promote Doctor Who, and it would be a difficult case to prosecute.

Curufea Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Re: 'Excellent." My slighly more cynical friend has been assuming the BBC themselves leaked it. Personally - I doubt that, I've always thought of them as too "by-the-book". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Re: 'Excellent." And given your sig I'm surprised you didn't mention his role as Campion. One particular Campion episode, "Look to the Lady" (an adaptation of The Gyrth Chalice Mystery), was sheer magic. Largely because Davison was given free reign to exercise both his charm and his gift with a turn of phrase. And because whoever wrote that episode filled it with amazing witticisms for just about everybody, especially the redoubtable Lugg. (As Campion described him, "He was one of the top burglars in the business, but he couldn't make the weight anymore.") It also set of the character of Albert Campion as a gifted, almost chameleonic figure with numerous identities, all of them false, including that of the Gypsy Prince "Orlando".
