Good telly - with added MS

[byslantedlight]

I'm so spamming today, but... *g*

Yeay MS on The One Show! Who saw that? Someone besides me must have seen it! And maybe cringed alongside the "spoof" intro with the presenters as our lads? MS looked very jovial at the end of it, I thought! But he also seems adorably bewildered by how popular it is - what's the betting that he's never actually watched it! It's good! It's actually got a social conscience (when you put it alongside so much of today's telly)! And it was good! The characters were bloody good, even the "bit" parts, and it was just... good! As shooting2kill said in a comment earlier, I'm so proud of our show, for standing up beside everything and still looking good! You can't really be amazed that it's still well-loved - and for more than just the cars and guns!

Anyway... I love how he interupted the interviewers to ask soldier-lad a question, and put his own nerves about performing in the context of the wider world at the end too. It's like he's a real, thinking person an'all... *g* But still - awww to getting nervous on first night, and on first night opening in London in front of all the critics!

If only he'd mentioned LC/Bodie it would've been perfect... But he's talking about Pros with a kind of bewildered appreciation now, so that's something...*g*

And then there was rather a fab programme on BBC2, Victorian Pharmacy, of which I managed to catch the second half - must remember it's on next week - and then Countrywise was in Snowdonia, and went to Portmeirion, which I just put in my travel meme as place I would recommend to a friend at scene_again - cos it's gorgeous! And peaceful, and beautiful, and with added pottery. *g*

And now I have a desperate yen to go and re-read all of Rhiannon's historical stuff, and then perhaps start on some Meg Lewtan re-reads, and... oh, and Lizzie's Family Affair! *g* I do like AUs! Hmmn - which one of the lads would be a Victorian pharmacist? Neither actually, would they... but they'd probably have to give each other treatments... *g*

Bodie and his guns are a bit like Bodie and his women...in Mixed Doubles we see him caressing it and looking at it longingly (yeah, the gun) but never putting much work into it, whereas as you say, Doyle does. And in Kickback Bodie lovingly uses it, but yes, we don't actually see him maintaining it.
