[QUOTE="James from London, post: 47391, member: 22"] I remember reading about it in advance because it was a year or two before it was shown over here and Joan Collins was already well known in the UK. In fact, I think I saw a picture of her and Cecil's deathbed wedding before I'd even seen the first episode. But it didn't really occur to me to have an actual opinion on the show. I just looked forward to it. It kind of reminds me of a routine that comedian Adam Bloom used to do about parties and how your attitude changes to them as you get older. When a six-year-old gets invited to a birthday party, you never hear them say, "Oh it'll probably be crap, I won't bother going." I think the internet encourages one to think everything's going to be crap before it happens. Daniel Craig was going to be a crap James Bond because he was blond and James Bond had never been blond. Matt Smith was going to be a crap Doctor Who because he was young and Doctor Who had never been young, etc. [/QUOTE]
