good in the exchanges with Neil Stacy as Carter, but probably my favorite scene is the one in which he recites the sonnet “The expense of spirit in a waste of shame …” to the uncomprehending English class. Remarkably, the scene is not in the novel – it was
invented for the dramatization, and it is perfect. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Indeed! I’ve seen To Serve Them and enjoyed it very much. I’ve always been a fan of Frank Middleton since seeing him originally as Kutuzov in War and Peace. I’ve taken up many of the recommendations made by
AFAW fans (thanks be to my multiregion DVD player)! Withdrawal is hard, but backup makes it tolerable! Sefton, where art thou?...<br>

so there is some class tension. He’s sent to the school to teach history as a kind of occupational therapy, as he’s had a bad case of shell-shock in the Great War. He’s quite a radical, especially compared to most of the masters. He gives a great performance,
as does Neil Stacy as the science master who runs the OTC. I saw it at the time, and am watching the DVDs now.

care deeply about the characters.<o:p></o:p></p>
