Thank you! I’ve studied linguistics, but anything that will “improve my ear” is welcome. Maybe if I moved over there?...<div><br></div><div>Michael Goodliffe is outstanding (maybe the last major role before he took his own life?) as is Mona Bruce. These people just BECAME their characters. Like Patrick Troughton as Harry Porter. I’m only up to Episode 3 so I expect other pleasures await...<br><br><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Saturday, June 9, 2018, 6:45 AM, Christine Kendell <christine.kendell@btopenworld.com> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv4265281111"><style>#yiv4265281111 #yiv4265281111 --

American television was so bereft of ideas (then and now) that we began taking over such British series as Til Death Do Us Part and Steptoe and Son. We were already importing some of the best series directly on our Masterpiece Theater (albeit had a French Baroque theme).<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></p></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></div>
