I think that Mr. S was quite the jack-of-all-trades and he did a lot of different things (newspaper, book-keeping (I suppose that's where he learned to juggle the non-existent funds for Selfridge's beginnings? lol) insurance) that led to Marshall Fields and then eventually marrying into money.

I know - Piven is always larger than life in most of his roles, and he mostly seems to do comedy or borderline comedy-drama rather than heavy, intense drama. It's enjoyable, but I have to agree DA it is not. ;^) And - it's a poor replacement for a new Case Histories! *shakes fist at BBC*

Case Histories 2 is bound to come out SOMETIME this year, probably before January 2014 I'm willing to wager... probably around the same time Single Shot (unless SOME people are going to Tribecca to report on that one), or Sweet Vengence (available at Amazon.co.uk only after June 10th or something), or Dawn (which will also probably only be available at Amazon.co.uk). Actually, IF TSG is picked up, I believe it's supposed to air in the fall! Wouldn't THAT be something!?! 'Yeah, that would be great' she thinks in her wildest dreams....e :bang

*to a mod: sorry, I think I stuck this in a wrong thread, my apologies, I was commenting on LS's last line. Will someone more adept at rearranging please to the proper thread. Apologies again, ln

I saw the actress who played Jackson's ex-wife in a movie on SCY-FY called, Triassic Attack. It took several minutes of watching to remember where I'd seen her, but I knew she'd played someone connected to JI in a movie.
had an American accent, and she spoke rather slowly.

I keep forgetting about this. Neve McIntosh, who played "Joanna Hunter" plays "Madame Vastra". a recurring character on Doctor Who.

Here is a picture of her in character. (Can't think why I didn't recognise her the first time I saw her.)

I've just seen the first two episodes of Sherlock, series 3, with Amanda Abbington. I've read that some fans are unhappy with the new series, but I love it. And Amanda's character makes it better. I recommend it.

Folks in the states, it is coming to PBS soon, Jan 19, in some areas. (Not mine.) Check your local PBS channel's schedule.

Amanda Abbington is actually married to Dr Watson actor Martin Freeman IRL too, so no wonder they act well together. She's blonde in Sherlock, so she looks a little different.

I think it's an interesting take on the Holmes/Watson relationship, to portray Mary Watson as liking Holmes in spite of his oddities, and encouraging them to continue their working partnership - (even in the middle of their wedding!)

I nearly forgot about this, Neve McIntosh also played a woman who tortures Mr. Renfield on NBC's DRACULA. Was watching one night, and her face seemed so familiar, but I couldn't place it. Googled the episode, and that's when it came to me. Silly I nearly forgot who she is. :bang :oops:

Ah, in fact they are not actually married IRL but are following the sterling example of "happily unmarried with kids" as set by Jason and Emma (*takes off well-worn Pedant Hat for another few minutes*)

(but Jason and Emma ARE married now), and I think it may be difficult on growing children when they become aware that their parents aren't wed. Yes, to each his own; but kids are just finicky that way...

Natasha Little, "Julia" is in CH is in The Night Manager, with Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman and Tom Hollander.

It got rave reviews, and although I am enjoying it, (I still have to watch the last episode), I think the story is pretty typical thriller stuff; it's the cast that make it noteworthy.

I loved The Night Manager. Unlike many TV things it had a satisfactory ending! Hugh Laurie was seriously scary in this. I knew he was a good actor after seeing House, but this performance surpassed anything else I've ever seen him do.

Tom Hiddleston is a good actor and gorgeous too. He has a whole new following after this show.

And garnered much speculation about the possibility of him being the next Bond.

Tom himself said on Graham Norton's show that it was just because he was playing a spy, and the most famous British spy is ... Bond, James Bond.

There are talks about a sequel to The Night Manager, but it would have to be really well written to match up to the original. The TV version used up all the story in the book by John le Carre (though apparently they changed the ending). I knew the Olivia Colman part was a man in the book - so obviously not pregnant!

If that happens, it might be more reason for Tom not to be Bond as well, the parts would be too similar.

I'd love Jason to be a Bond villain - and I think he would too, I'm sure he has said as much.
