Tenth doctor's costume

And I was geeking about Edwardian suits just the other day while watching Raffles. Or was it Reilly: Ace of Spies?

And evil catwomen. Of course.

How else could it be?

Icon! That was quick work. (Nice, too.)

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Black on white! Controversial!

Here's hoping the new outfit sparks a trend for waistcoats.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Mr A. brought his magic touch to the icon.

I'd like to see a trend for waistcoats too.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Except that now I've seen the pic full size I don't think it is a waistcoat after all, just the jacket part of the suit worn under the coat. Waistcoats! I want men in waistcoats, preferably with long white shirt sleeves visible!

You need to start watching the snooker.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

And Raffles, if you can get ITV3.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Snooker's too artificial an environment for that sort of thing.

Funnily enough, I was thinking about Raffles last night, because Christopher Strauli was on in Fortunes of War on BBC4.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I only noticed that Fortunes of War was on round about the third episode, and I'm kicking myself.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry, I did sort of think about advertising it, but I think only halfway through the first episode, which I didn't notice myself until just before it started...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

No worries, it's bound to turn up again. And it's not like I don't have teetering stacks of DVDs to work through...

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Gave me an idea for this... which I hope is too obscure to be obvious.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I think that there is a first name in common.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

(And beautiful icon, btw.)

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I meant obscure to those who wouldn't have it in mind... though I was tempted to stick with Nos 1 and 3 and call it Alias Smith and Jones.

Nos 1 and 3 and call it Alias Smith and Jones

:-D

I'd quite forgotten how much I love Charles Kay (http://www.open2.net/open2static/source/file/root/31/28/128829/rhs_balkan_trilogy.jpg). I saw him on stage a couple of years before that - playing a politician in Harley Granville Barker's Waste. And I cast him in a B7 story I've never finished. Maybe seeing him in action again will prompt me to go back to it.

Pendleton!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

He's everywhere! I'm fairly sure I first came across him playing Charles I in a TV play, though that doesn't seem to be listed on IMDB. I'd completely forgotten he played Louis VII in The Devil's Crown, though now I'm reminded I can hear his voice in it.

Hm, I should have a Charles Kay icon, though I've now hit 100 so I'm having to start deleting again. I just need to come up with the right caption.

It was a present from Mr A.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

And that's a mighty fine icon you have there.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

A gift from Mr A.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

Awwww!

He chose wisely with that gift.
