It's fantastic.
@oldsixie.bsky.social was this your first tv role?

oldsixie.bsky.social•7 days ago

No - that was ‘Roads to Freedom’ by Camus a year earlier

e11iotchapman.bsky.social•7 days ago

Jean-Paul Sartre won’t be happy with this news 😂

Oh bloody hell! Ooops Senior (embarrassing) moment

Oh, I saw 'Roads To Freedom' and your introduction to it when it was shown on BBC4 the other year. Wonderful tele. I do miss studio plays and drama.

And just to square it - as I was lamenting finishing my viewing of Fall of Eagles - you’ll find Colin in the final episode, doing some fine prop-work with a ludicrously-long cigarette holder! 😂

To be fair, they’re in the same ball park (didn’t Camus actually play in goal for Universitaire d'Alger's youth team..?). 🙂

After that, I recommend Cousin Bette.

I saw how much you were enjoying Fall of Eagles and it's now sitting on our DVD shelves waiting to be watched. We're looking forward to diving in...

It was hard to stick to one a week. Soooo good.

dandalek.bsky.social•7 days ago

Amazing! It comes from that period of TV drama we absolutely love. And what a cracking cast! Thanks for the recommendation. Really looking forward to it!

The hilarious thing is now I shall forever picture Hugh Burden as Rodzianko, Barry Foster as the Kaiser, Patrick Stewart as Lenin, Charles Kay & Gayle Hunnicutt as Tsar and Tsarina, & Curt Jurgens as Otto Von Bismarck, etc. 😂
