Lol so of course I forgot to put Hans Meyer (who would have been 101 years old today!) in this post

Ulmann in Colditz

Veitch in Granada Holmes

So in a way, Pat gets revenge on an elderly Ulmann decades later by kicking him in the face as he escapes

I REMEMBER the desolation when Mummy's car left and I was marooned. I found that so frightening. And having my own room made me instantly lo

I found this interview where Jeremy Brett talks about his time at school and how hard it was for him

[louieclamlent]

This article is quoted and extrapolated upon a few times The Making of Them: The British Attitude to Children and the Boarding School System

I couldn't read the whole thing. But some of it is very enlightening on the trauma of places of like Eton.

[lestradelurkshere]

Oh thank you for the link! the whole thing is very disturbing.. only god knows how many children have been the victim of these school systems :(

[secretfreakaccount]

how do you actually pronounce lestrade cause the granada and bbc ways are beefing in my head

I just Can't from that scene in The Devil's Foot

Ya know

THIS ONE

How he's just pawing at Watson. We can even see both his hands on him at one point, he's so damn desperate. Poor baby. You can see how sorry he is. He just thinks he's an idiot and feels so bad, you can almost feel it.

And meanwhile, Watson.exe stopped working from seeing Holmes so emotional. Even when he tries to support Holmes' back, or rather shoulder, his hand is all floppy and doesn't do much. Look at how much it's bending with the motion. He's so damn starteled. He's got no idea what to do, poor thing.

Also... Where the HELL are Watson's legs at?!?!

I don’t think this show is available anywhere? Anyway, the picture is very nice.

I've been devouring Edward Hardwicke infused media at a rate quicker than I've been able to log it. So here's a little update on what I've watched so far, with the pros and cons of each item - for the connoisseurs ;)

Shadowlands (1993)

Pros: He plays the dapper, pipe-smoking, second fiddle to an imperious intellectual gentleman. Sound familiar? Ted is basically Watson again here.

Cons: Very, VERY sad movie. Be prepared. And the levels of cuteness are also highly dangerous.

My Old Man (1974-5)

Pros: The bubble bath scene (and thanks to chemistry, the bubbles disintegrate quite rapidly). Boxer shorts scene. String vest scene.

Cons: 1970s homophobia, sexism and racism. A very young and high-pitched Keith Chegwin.

Beethoven (1970)

Pros: Homoeroticism with Michael Jayston, tight breeches, nice wig or combover (?), and most importantly a GORGEOUS white military uniform with long boots.

Cons: Slightly dull, but only slightly.

The Sweeney (one episode called Hearts and Minds)

Pros: Plays a spy, gets the funniest line, also features Morecambe and Wise and a drag queen.

Cons: None.

Just doing my duty :)

[moongiraffe]

I have some very redstringconspiracyguy.png shippy thoughts about this scene, and also about the washing scene.

[moongiraffe]

This is the funniest line in the whole show and you will not convince me otherwise

A Peter Serafinowicz Show verse kiss for @kingstoken's amazing prompt in the last round of @holmestice. In fact, a prompt so inspiring that we were three to fill it!

Stressed?

Have 13.6 seconds of Holmes relaxing in the countryside. There are bees.

[moongiraffe]

Actors who were in both Colditz (1972) and Granada Holmes

Aside from the obvious ones (Edward Hardwicke and Anthony Valentine), that is.

Jeremy Kemp as Tony Shaw / Dr Grimesby Roylott

Joanna David as Cathy Carter / Miss Susan Cushing

John Ringham as uhh Simon's SBO in Ep 2, can't remember his name/ Inspector Lanner

Paul Chapman as George Brent / Major Murphy

Peter Barkworth as Scary Gestapo Guy whose name I can't remember either / Colonel Ross

(I'm pretty sure this is not an exhaustive list)

[moongiraffe]

I expect most people have seen this, but putting it out there just in case. Jeremy, Rosalie, some of the cast from The Three Gables, and Michael Jayston (the Earl of Rufton from Lady Frances Carfax) all appear, and Paul Chapman (George from Colditz/big-moustache military guy from The Crooked Man) is in the audience.

Nm I found it

The compilation I was referring to here. It is very poor quality, sadly. https://www.tumblr.com/moongiraffe/821506237093003264/extremely-extremely-niche-questionrequest-does

Warning for some medical gore (+ sad stuff) starting at around 03m20s

[moongiraffe]

Extremely extremely niche question/request:

Does anyone have a copy or clips of S6 E33 of Holby City, in which Edward Hardwicke has a small role? I think I may have downloaded a compilation of his scenes off YouTube before it was taken down, but I can’t find it right now and the video was poor quality in any case.

[moongiraffe]

I love this because of the cigarette-sharing and smoke-blowing (also the big coats, Ted really suited a big coat), but it’s also a cool scene in terms of camera work

[moongiraffe]

Also for the good of the website. (Is this going to get flagged? Not sure how much flesh is allowed these days)
