Ah, thanks for posting more screencaps Char! -smile-
I like the last picture and...
*points*
the one in which he has a cigarette in his mouth. I love that!
Jason is really cute.

These screen caps are nice . He looks so good up close. I agree with you Angel, cute. Did you notice his brown contact lenses?
Trying to look just like the original actor, right? He looks good. So different - it almost makes you feel sorry for him like he's rather lonely. Maybe just not mean. Not the impression I get with his blue eyes sometimes. The original actor had very large eyes. Very expressive.

Yes, Harry H Corbett had brown eyes so Jason wore contact lenses for his role. -smile-
(Aw, those lenses hide his gorgeous baby- blue eyes...I think I've never seen him in a brown eyed role before)
The original actor had very large eyes. Very expressive.
Hmm, I think Jason is much more handsome than the original actor.

The actor in the original show was a character actor. He looks old English to me. The original father is older and he was in The Benny Hill shows, too - I think. Right?
What is so funny to me is when Harry asks his father questions, he almost whispers them, and it's just so funny. Like he says "What for?" so quietly, I just laughed so hard. ( I think it was a clip I saw from the interview on The One Show. )

No, he was never in the Benny Hill show. A quick check with IMDb clears that up.
Great screencaps, Char! Thanks!!

Thanks for creating and sharing these with us, Char! I hate to say it, but yeah, there's something dead sexy about him with the cigarette. I can't imagine having been a smoker, quit, and then taking it up again for roles like this . . .
*that King Richard wig? no sex at ALL*

Bite your tongue. Go wash your mouth out with Soft Soap. That's pepper on the tongue for you, my girl.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa--I didn't want to say it; Lord knows there ain't nothin' sexy about emphysema, or lung cancer, or stroke, or increased risk of Alzheimers . . .

thank you Char, you've made my day
I'll bet it was difficult for Mr Jason with all the smoking, since
he quit a few years ago...
