[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 102898, member: 27"] It might surprise him to learn that a fair amount of us Americans tuned into ATGBbecause of HIM, and not just because of Dame Judi. He, like Penelope Keith, has starred in several Britcoms that were well-received here in America. We do tend to stick with actors we've enjoyed in the past, even if the scripts can...[I]vary. [/I] Speaking of whom, have you run across PK and Geoffrey Palmer in [I]Executive Stress[/I]? Those two have that same easy chemistry and affection you see with ATGB, though in their characters' cases this comes from having been married for 25+ years and having five kids :eek:. It is also noteworthy because they recast Palmer with Peter Bowles half-way through, creating a very different dynamic even when the premise had not changed. It would have been an otherwise head-scratching recast had it not been for Bowles's famous pairing with Keith in [I]To the Manor Born[/I]. Still, it was like recasting Darrin on [I]Bewitched.[/I] [/QUOTE]
