Great British cast having loads of fun hamming it up. Pleasure as always in hearing MJ’s mellifluous tones.

Eileen Atkins giving it the full Bette Davis. And this has got to be one of the biggest roles Pat Gorman ever had!

Cannot believe that's Eileen Atkins -- what a villain! I see and hear a lot of Patricia Hodge in her.

One of my favorite Dornford Yates’ novels. So pleased to see a film version, although, watching and listening to the start, am wondering how faithful to the book it will prove to be.

I must say Michael Jayston looks YUMMY with a moustache or a beard, while the majority of men don't, no idea how he does it. :) It's his magic.

And the rear view of him in those jodhpurs is none too shabby either.

Oh MJ in uniform anytime (excluding him as old policeman in some rustic TV series). Adored him as S Sassoon in Mad Jack.

I like this. It is like Tom is doing this from a comic book hero on what he does.

Caught this on BBC Four last night. Interesting and certainly watchable, and replete with ye olde 'derring-do' action sequences. Not the world's greatest fan of the ending though.

The Castle in the trees is Castell Coch in Glamorganshire, IMDB says interiors as well but none of those I've seen so far (I'm about 25 minutes in) are William Burges Castell Coch interiors.
