Giant Public Eye icon repost! (And I mean giant - I made two sets originally, so altogether I think there are 150 icons. Mostly Alfred Burke and Pauline Delany, but also a random assortment of familiar guest stars.)

Icon Repost: Public Eye

I really do need to watch this show. (I may need to finish my current TV and recover from maxing out first.)

I just realised this icon is from The Flypaper! Much though I loved that episode, I think I might switch it for Frank and Helen (and Percy). Thank you very kindly for letting my help myself to these.

I was also in fact wondering if there were fannish spaces for Public Eye chatter? Or for obscure British fandoms, really. I have all this pent up feeling about, e.g., Frank's chemistry with Barbara Lewson-Jones and his best enemies interaction with Percy Firbank, not to mention everything about Helen, and it currently has very little outlet...

Oh, I am not very good with tumblr, and twitter is even worse. I can barely keep up with dw and ao3 as it is! Though possibly I ought to make an exception for Alfie Burke. How I miss the days when all of fandom was on livejournal and bulletin boards. There should absolutely be a kinkmeme — I would definitely be there for that with all my bells on. Where would one start one, and do you think there would be interest?

Yes, Barbara was the ex-con housekeeper working for the fancy developer tycoon (with the out of control young daughter and the wife played by Helen Porteous!), whom Frank flirts with over the washing-up? He seemed genuinely drawn to her, and genuinely put out that she’d been using him, I don’t know. It wasn’t like the deep companionship and bond he had with Helen, of course, but Frank connects emotionally with so few people (and so few women!) that this encounter really stood out for me.

Helen is so lovely! I want to fix all the things for her and Frank, oh my goodness. You told me in a comment on ao3 that S8 would have seen their end game; I am so very sorry we did not get to see it.

Ooh, thank you for this detailed explanation of how to kinkmeme, and how to frame the parameters such as would draw in the maximum number of interested parties. I confess I don't have a wide friends list, and I am definitely much more a participant than a mod, so this does seem a rather daunting process, particularly now in the run up to Yuletide, but maybe an early next year sort of thing when people are bored and indoors staying from the cold? And that might be more manageable for me, as well!

(A kinkmeme doesn't necessarily need to be comprised of kink prompts, no? I am as excited to write and receive mature-rated fic as the next person, but I'd imagine at least 50% of the interest would be in gen fic?)

I always think that one is kind of, he's looking for something after Helen, but someone he sees as being more on the same level as him (ex-con, damaged etc.), except of course that doesn't work out, because she's inevitably not as trustworthy, because he's better than he sees himself as being, which seems to be a mistake he makes over and over with his clients in different ways.

Oh my, I just had a moment of clutching at my heart, for this is it, entirely and completely, and I cannot believe I didn't immediately see it. Alfie and the script lays it all out on the line exactly like that: Frank is drawn to Barbara because he's been looking for a closer connection after Helen (he even sits in Barbara's kitchen and helps her with the drying, in the way he did with Helen), and of course he thinks she's more on his level (and he thinks that Helen was too good for him) -- and of course Barbara wasn't as trustworthy, and Frank deserves so much more than he thinks he does. And, YES, it's a mistake he keeps making with his clients and the people he encounters along the way! This show is finding new ways to break my heart :(

Whatever, he totally went back to Brighton in the end!! (In fact, I think someone asked Roger Marshall what he'd do if someone gave him a million pounds to end it, and he was, just, have him go back to Mrs Mortimer at Brighton!)

Again, I'll just be over here clutching this hope to my heart, too. Watch me pour out all these feelings in my Yuletide letter :(((

I was so going to screech “Where is Gareth Thomas!” but I see you have him covered so no disappointment here. :)

And what a lovely parade of faces otherwise. Look at the handsome Suchet, and what a young Colin Baker!

And of course Mr Marker himself. I really must watch this entire series one day.

Poor Frank. Life is never kind to him, yet somehow there's something very happy-making about him all the same.
