[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 295892, member: 23"] Yes, I can understand that would change the tone quite a lot. Sometimes a bigger budget and more expansive scope can really go against a translation like this. Thanks. That rings a vague bell now you've said it. I seem to remember it being shown at Christmastime so I probably had other stuff on my mind which was how I only saw a little bit of it. I'm still annoyed at myself for not snapping up the "Omnibus" edition of the series and films when they were widely available on DVD. But I do hope to watch the series and films in full at some point. That kind of hamminess seems perfectly pitched for [I]Whodunnit? [/I]though. Do you know, I'd barely even noticed him. I'll have to keep an eye out next time I'm watching. It's funny how it became such an instant winner with me whereas I've forgotten most of the others. That's really funny. Michael cracked me up in that scene when he went on to collapse, easing himself gently to the ground by holding onto the furniture while Jon Pertwee cracked "easy does it" and everyone fell about laughing. Oh, well-spotted Sarah. :gotcha: [/QUOTE]
