[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 80083, member: 23"] Absolutely. This is a project that without doubt is designed for actors with a primarily theatre background. Perhaps even specifically for Sinden and Stritch (whose joint surnames are reminiscent of a firm of solicitors). Even the guest stars and small roles have stage credentials. For example, Series One included Penelope Keith (here, between the first two series of [I]The Good Life [/I]playing an officious triage nurse), Tony Selby, Joyce Carey and Saeed Jaffrey. Incidentally, the exchange between Jaffrey, Sinden and Stritch was great fun. Jaffrey and Stritch's characters couldn't understand each other's accents so Sinden was translating. It's such a simple thing, but Stritch (after a huge pause) asking Sinden "What'd he say?" each time Jaffrey finished a sentence actually got funnier each time, as the viewer became conditioned to anticipate it. It's interesting to note that some of the guest-stars would probably have had Anglo-American appeal having worked in both. Jaffrey is an example of this. The first guests were Peter Carlisle and Helen Horton - both American born actors who resided in the UK in later life. The first episode of Series Two had the series' first location filming. Appropriately enough on the steps of the American Embassy in London. Truthfully, though, I'm enjoying what they do with the set. They've even had real cars parked "outside" when the situation has called for it, which is great for continuity as they can be seen from the front door, the drawing room window and even filmed on the fake street looking back at the front of the house. Thanks for that RC. I'm very much enjoying her, so that will serve as the perfect bonus material when I wrap up the series. :yep: [/QUOTE]
