Yeah, that's the thing about tv isn't it - it's not the controversial stuff, cos most people want the heroes and the uniforms...
I wonder about the RSC thing too - although... the landlady of the B&B I stayed in, in Windsor, was involved with the stage, and had been involved obliquely with MS in plays etc - I hope we're buried far enough down here that this won't be picked up by anyone! - and she reckoned that Murder on Air, the play I was there to see, would suit him down to the ground, because the actors read from scripts while on stage, as they were playing actors reading a radio play (still with me?!). The "business" insiders-thing was that he was really bad at learning lines - so presumably RSC wouldn't suit him at all? Or of course it could be complete bunkum! *g*
And yeah, I'm just happy to see him around still, and I wish Lew was too - wish he'd never gone away! *sniffs sadly*
