Beyond the Roundels

As I said, I've made a lot of gifs over the last couple of months and I have not inflicted them on you shared them with you yet! (Part One of...??)

So, very importantly, even if tumblr did not care, I finally managed to make gifs of Anne and James Onedin from The Onedin Line, which I watched over half of via Drama a couple of years ago and which was a ride (in Devon) but you might recall that Anne was the best, and her marriage of convenience with James where they married for a ship and then were both too practical and northern to know how to deal with feelings was all the things. And here they are (played by Peter Gilmore & Anne Stallybrass):

Also I finally managed to gif Bram Stoker's Dracula for my Dracula adaptations I have watched series, so I am up to date with what I have watched so far. (It was much overdue because I was posting collected gifsets of the various versions of each character from each one and they had been sitting in my drafts for a year, awaiting one last gif for each set. Now I have hardly any drafts at all, it's amazing.)

But I thought I'd share this set, as it interests me. The 1992 film seems to share a lot of little things with the 1968 TV Dracula that aren't present in the others. It seems an unlikely influence on the face of it, but it does seem nevertheless to be lurking somewhere in BSD's DNA. (Mystery & Imagination was shown in the US, or certainly the 6 surviving Thames episodes, so it's certainly possible.)
