Watching Classic Who has been really amazing because it's the first old British show I've watched where there's a huge fandom and other people to talk to about it! I've kind of neglected other shows because there's just SO MUCH of Classic Who to get through, but there's still a few titles on my list that I haven't crossed off just yet.
Well, that's understandable - Classic Who is a giant among TV shows! One of the annoying things about being ill was that I just couldn't watch it (I'm not exactly sure why but it tired me as much as a lot of modern TV did), hence my sudden diving into far more obscure things. :-)
I actually couldn't get interested in The Hour for some reason, despite it's incredibly good cast, but Anna Chancellor is absolutely fabulous, and needs to be in more things
I wasn't so keen on the first episode, but I felt it improved after that, but I know other people who really didn't go for it, too. Anna Chancellor is definitely awesome, though. I was really pleased to see she got a supporting actress BAFTA for that one - about time!! She does make a great Caroline Bingley, though, doesn't she? I think for me she'll always be Juliet Shaw from Spooks, because that was when I noticed her as in the actor and not just various characters around and about. The Poirot ep sounds nice. I've not always been so keen on Poirot (though David is utterly perfect in the role!), but I'll have to watch that one sometime - my Dad's got most of the series on DVD, so that one should be in there somewhere. :-)
