Rather than those pointless management courses in Whitehall back in my day they should have just showed The Power Game as that's how those corridors of power really work.

This is one of my favourite scenes. :) In E12 of The Power Game, Garfield Kane (the Minister, played by Barrie Ingham) is very annoyed by an ''oily'' Professor Mobbs (Michael Aldridge) paying him a visit to tell him what to do and what not to do. I would have so much loved to see that scene. :)

And this is why it is barbarous, selfish, and cruel to bring children into the world if you cannot offer them a better life than you have lived (esp since modern life affords more measures to do this than these poor people had in the 19th century).

Christina's death in this movie was the most sexy death in movie history. She really tried to save her life, but to no avail. They should have shown more nudity in the scene, that would have been great. Poor, poor Christina. RIP

Greed is evident ... but then almost 80 years after independence, the vast majority of Indians are poor and exploited. If you don't treasure your hard-won freedom, what good is it?

The Irish are intriguing to me. I've read some of their literature, heard songs, seen movies, met some of them. Yet it is difficult to get to "the heart of their mystery." Perhaps knowing their language is the skeleton key. Don't know ....

Today we would never see the hilariously deft Royal Society scene (the initial one, of course). The 70s serials from the BBC, ITV, Yorkshire TV, Granada, etc. were magical! (Today it would be hyper-politically correct hyper-realism. What happened!??!)

My favorite episode so far--because it illustrated so well the joys and sorrows of the immigrant life. (When people trash America, they should remember what it meant--and still means--to those seeking freedom. Immigrants--like me--intuitively understand this and are grateful. I'd rather live in a world dominated by the US rather than by some Eastern totalitarian tyranny.)

I will be guillotined by the modern-day Jacobins for saying this ... but the great empire-builders of history (e.g., the Romans, British, French, yes, even Spaniards) did indeed bring civilization to people they conquered. Did they take their pound of flesh as well? Yes. But in history there are no absolutes. Terrific episode!

A first-rate, understated performance by Blakiston and some rousing acting by Morell are the highlights of this rather plodding play.
@AdeleC472Ай бұрын
The play is hard to digest... the idea probably was that the old man is more sinister than he might seem, which made his son become alcoholic and self destructive and his daughter avoid marriage. No one knows what he did to his wife. When the son tries to find out, it's too late. It's very disturbing. Michael Jayston looking just like Quiller is a bonus. :)
