This is the 1978 series, bee tee dubs.
Oh, I love this show. I grew up reading the books and this show captures a lot of the feeling. The Farnons physical comedy is choice.
Speaking of the Farnons, I keep thinking that if either tried to kill the other, I would not blame them. I think Siegfried would have more of a vicious biting attack, but Tristan might try poison or traps. He’s tricky.
Tristan: *hangover*
Siegfried: *VOICE INTENSIFIES*
Them gossiping over James and how to help him out like old wives was absolutely choice. I loved it. Helen is lovely. I see why they want him to marry her so much.
Siegfried’s ‘I am basically your father and mother’ at James and Tristan’s dismay is also to my delight.
I accidentally clicked the modern one when I was trying to set up for watching and I knew something was wrong the moment I saw how good the film quality was. I’m not sure I want to watch that one. It’s not something I think of for a prestige channel.
