Actually I could watch 120 minutes of Kitchen on his own, speaking (or, as he does superbly, not speaking).

And I only have to look at Honeysuckle Weeks to go weak at the honeysuckles.

I agree about Michael Kitchen. He can say so much in just a glance, raise of an eyebrow or twitch of the mouth. He provides real depth to the characters he plays.

He was an excellent King (Charles) opposite Ian Richardson in To Play The King.

Indeed Cat - the AWFUL Charles in The Queen seems to be trying to imitate Kitchen more than Charles!

What with the BAFTAS conflicting, FOYLE'S WAR is in the waiting room, and eagerly anticipated.
Did anyone else notice that Kitchen, Colin Salmon and the other minor 'usual suspects' characters
were not included in 'CASINO ROYALE'?

Foyle was very good, but one of the parts between the adverts was only long enough for me to eat a bowl of cornflakes. I got them during the break, then by the time I'd eaten them there was another break.

I notice how they are having to edit dramas to fit them around the increased number of adverts. For example, last week's Touch Of Frost was originally shown in a 2 hour slot. It's was still shown in a 2 hoiur slot but had to be edited. Anyone who had not seen it before would not know what the sergeant meant when he said "the marks on the wall tested positive too." Some bright editor had cut out the scene where a footballer threw a drink, which was spiked with drugs, at the wall. It was quite vital to the plot really, but cut for adverts.
