thisbluespirit1. persiflage_1 just linked me to this Dec 1977 London Weekend Television promo pic, and I'm so strangely charmed to see Emily Richard, Bernard Horsfall, and Alfred Burke standing together (they must have started work in some shape on Enemy at the Door,) and yet all smiling and happy and not at all war-worn and sad. (I want that AU, please. :lol:)
2. I finished my epic quest to gif an awful lot of the 1968 Thames TV Dracula over at tumblr and am now (via the queue) posting the final, collected character and ship editions -calliopes_pen, I actually have done a Jonathan one! (Be proud of me. <3)
But if you want to understand why Dr Seward is so hopeless at fighting vampires, here's his photoset, complete with quote that explains that in one sentence. :-D
3. Pers also pointed out that Big Finish were doing Adam Adamant Lives! audios next year, but I looked at the page and got as far as learning that it didn't involve the original actors and the line "And to his rescue comes history enthusiast and would-be novelist Georgina Jones" and ran away. I mean, yes, of course make Georgie more pro-active in a reboot by all means, but if you want an Edwardian Adventurer & Gent culture clash with a with-it 1960s girl, making her a bookish historian instead of a DJ is, er, not the way to do it.
Besides, Georgie would be so horrified at the mere idea of that description! As would Adam, for different reasons. And Simms would never let her live it down. There would be limericks. I'm tempted to write fic. (But not the limericks.) ETA: I'm going to be laughing a lot at that line every time I think of it...
