Maybe back when I was watching You're Only Young Twice. Oh yes, Marion. Another character I have no memory of from watching before. She's great, and I thoroughly enjoy her sparring with both Tom and Diana. Even though she's ostensibly an antagonist, she's been at the centre of some of Tom's softer moments. A nice example being during the episode in which Tom had decided everyone should be honest all the time, and was hurt when Marion "honestly" wished him dead (despite the fact she does this all the time anyway). Yesterday I watched a Series Two episode which had Marion thoroughly miserable running a business (very badly) as a beauty therapist. After Tom had found a way for her to walk away from the business, he opens his arms to her and she looks as though she's about to hug him, then kind of wavers. Of course, you think she's going to find one of her usual reasons to avoid contact and get the hell out of there. But she does give him a hug and it's a really sweet moment because it's so unexpected. Diana's had some nice moments with her as well. Last night I watched the glamorous granny episode where it was Diana's turn to be nice to everyone and she smilingly commented that Marion's pink gin matched the colour of her eyes. Yes, I could see it working. Richard Mulligan has the right kind of qualities for Tom, I think. Though I must confess to being very cynical about remakes and can't help wondering why not simply air (or repeat) the original.</blockquote>
