[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 216892, member: 12"] Glad you’re loving it. In fact your love caused me to start watching it again this week. Thanks! Barbara Ewing reused a cleavage prominence trick that she had been taught for the Hammer movie, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. After watching Morris, I can never really think of Anthony Andrews in Brideshead Revisited in the same way again. Writer John Stevenson also wrote for Coronation Street, A Family at War (currently being repeated on Talking Pictures again), Crown Court and Nearest and Dearest. I like all those little things too. Like Bradley occasionally mentioning his past with Shicklgruber (Adolf Hitler). At one point, Bradley refers to Margaret Thatcher being one of his illegitimate children. All Bradley’s sons with Lady Patience being named after cars...Bentley, Austin, Morris. And the visual stuff, like when you can see Bradley being served his lobster and chips and the way that several of his female household staff happen to be pregnant. And Maurice’s friends... Guy, Kim and Donald. Of course, Guy gets credited as Guy Baggers, a play on Burgess. And the hilarious plot info dumps. Plus I just like Bradley wanting to dispose of his illegitimate son’s half-brother, while still sleeping with the man’s mother. They have mentions of soap operas in one scene with Isobel and Jack, including Brookside. Of course, Brass would have a third series but on Channel 4, seven years after series two. The third series is set around the outbreak of World War Two and the format is different. Austin Hardacre and George Fairchild have new faces in that. They did announce that they would do a fourth series but never did. James Saxon, who played Morris, has now passed away. Caroline Blakiston told me that she would still love to do another series of it because they all loved doing it. Timothy West told me the same a few years back. I didn’t ask them that. They brought it up to me. [/QUOTE]
