Ju...Wives and Daughters is an excellent miniseries. Justine Waddell is just right for Molly and Squire Hamley is wonderfully played by Michael Gambon (who was also in Cranford and played Mr. Woodhouse in Emma.) Francesca Annis as Molly's rather vain step-mother also had a small (but important part) in Cranford.<br />I am still reading the book, savouring it actually. Since I saw the DVD first I am imagining those actors in all the scenes and so far it is exactly the same -- right down to the dialogue!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-51151863923450150952010-09-16T09:45:09.711-05:002010-09-16T09:45:09.711-05:00It is ironic you would mention Molly as I am curre...It is ironic you would mention Molly as I am currently viewing Wives and Daughters. <br />Love the photo of RA...lolAvalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722166722435492840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-51675506994830895812010-09-15T07:35:52.148-05:002010-09-15T07:35:52.148-05:00@Traxy -- C'mon back when you have time.

(Not sure if dates are right.)<br />Seeing a Scot dressed in full regalia is par for the course in Edinburgh, they really are all over the place! Very nice to see too!<br />@Nat -- Wow! Thanks for that tip! I checked out Youtube for "Forever Plaid" and although I had never heard of it before, just from the clips I won't hesitate to give it the Phylly's Faves stamp of approval! :) If I ever get to see it, you can bet I will add it to this page!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-74124874151034863992010-09-14T16:12:21.739-05:002010-09-14T16:12:21.739-05:00Have you seen the play "Forever Plaid"?
...Have you seen the play "Forever Plaid"?<br /><br />Lucas McNorth... haha! Tee is great.<br />You know, there is a REAL pic of RA wearing a kilt in a promo shoot he did, although it's not plaid and his face is covered.

You know, of course, that Anne Eliot is subjected to a plaid dress in the BBC 70's version of Persuasion. It's worth watching just to cringe at the costumes.<br /><br />One of my favorite memories of my trip to Edinburgh in 2009 was coming out of the train station and seeing a man in full regalia walking across the street as if on the way to a business meeting. He was a tourist prop, he was a citizen just wearing what he wears.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-29145094274359019412010-09-14T10:18:23.822-05:002010-09-14T10:18:23.822-05:00*manages to avert her gaze from Lucas in a kilt lo...*manages to avert her gaze from Lucas in a kilt long enough to leave a comment*<br /><br />Interesting post.
