Indeed - but they're like the gargoyles at the entrance to the cathedral (and there's a few more on the cast): grotesque, unchanging, highlighting the quality of the rest...
Yes I remember you commenting on his acting before, Norfs...
Few things more satisfying on the box than to see stupid, nasty Sally Webster given her comeuppance (Who's the AA'er who held a candle for her?? Not you, Norfs? Was it Taps?! )
It was- and still is, despite her repeated efforts to alienate my affections... (Mind you, she's facing stiff competition from the wonderful Laura Linney, and Barbara Flynn still ticks my boxes).
- a Welsh baritone (with an actress daughter) who made his operatic debut as the Herald in Lohengrin
- P P Pond
- a musicologist, expert on Monteverdi
Must be Jones or Jenkins to tick the Welsh box!
Norfy, I met Barbara Flynn a year or two back in a gallery in Penzance - she was selling some of her own made jewellry. I had a conversation with her about the Beidebecke series - a very pleasant lady - don't remember much about the jewellry though.

I'm sure that would also have been true in my case, had I had the good fortune to meet her. We periodically watch 'Cracker', in which she was excellent as 'Doctor Fitzgerald's long-suffering wife. I think her 'breakthrough' role might have been in 'A Family At War'.
