thisbluespiritAnd now, forgive me spamming you, but it's been a while and I think it must be time for one of those David Collings picspams I warned everybody about when I friended them... (I always try to be amusing, though.)
Anyway, I mainly wanted to share some pics because it was obviously made not long before(?) S&S's Assignment 3 and therefore there are times when David Collings looks like 18th C!Silver (and he doesn't usually look like Silver in other things), which could be useful as reference for S&S fans, obviously. (Not that I think there should be 18th!Silver fic... Oh, wait, that's a lie.) Plus, as ever, Things That Amused Me.
This was directed by Michael E. Briant and whips past in 8x 30 min episodes, like an unusually pacy Doctor Who historical or something. David Collings was playing John Barsad and was being as annoying as possible to everybody. (I'm sure John Barsad was less annoying in the book/film. Or maybe that was because I was so fed up with everyone else that I liked him for being a spy and the one that nobody else liked? I didn't get on with Two Cities as a teenager, but I'm glad to have seen this version now & got a better idea of it.)
He's in 5 of the 8 episodes, which can be summed up as follows:
And that was the BBC 1980 Tale of Two Cities, except it had some other people in it that I forgot to mention.
