[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 410223, member: 23"] Oh, I didn't spot him.... ...And while I knew Ian Hendry, I actually forgot about him on [I]Brookie[/I]. Yes, there's definitely some gold that could have been mined there. "A way in" is a good way to put it. I've been bearing in mind your earlier comment about Gordon II not having an inner life, and most of the scenes I've watched add weight to this. Funny, really, to think even [I]Dynasty[/I] had a go at this before any of the British soaps. And the Aussies were probably more pioneering still, with Don coming out back in 1972 (like Colin, he was half in/half out when we first met him). [MEDIA=youtube]g53g3xAKXJ4:34[/MEDIA] ^ It's just a shame these scenes are so Abigail-heavy since it makes them memorable for all the wrong reasons. I hadn't remembered this at all. But then I don't think I've revisited any of those episodes since the mid Nineties (or whenever they made it onto UK Gold). I do hope early [I]Enders[/I] gets a [I]Brookie[/I]-style renaissance on iPlayer someday. Oh, that's lovely. I hadn't seen that before. What a great scene. Dear God. This is another I haven't seen, but I can't help smiling at the unlikely visual imagery this conjures up. Yes, that makes perfect sense to me. That's one of the first [I]Corrie[/I] episodes I remember watching*, and that story was one that had dated extremely well when I've rewatched it on the box-sets. * [I][SIZE=3]One of the details I clearly remember grabbing my attention was Deirdre's pronunciation of "police" which sounded to my young ears almost as though it had two syllables. Which is neither here nor there, really, but there we go. [/SIZE][/I] Oh yes - agreed. Both actors (Mick and Mike) look very familiar. It looks as though each of them has appeared in quite a number of different series over the years. Yes. I do love that Damon's sly wit and penchant for practical jokes is balanced by a kind of almost sunny optimism... no matter what life throws at him. So very true. I don't know how long this lasts, but I'm enjoying it while it's here. [/QUOTE]
