2️⃣ #NigelTerry of #CovingtonCross is the main guest star. Interesting character, having an unhealthy obsession with beauty. The rest of the guest cast are weak.

3️⃣ All the internal locations (both past and present) are sumptuous. Beautiful rooms filled with beautiful objects.

📺 100 episodes left. Averaging 1 episode every 15 weeks, or thereabouts, I should reach the last one on December 31st, 2050.

I’ve had the facial recognition version of a mondegreen. Ever since I was a kid, I thought John in #TheLionInWinter was played by #JohnShuck. I just discovered it’s a completely different, classical actor named #NigelTerry. That’s embarrassing. #TCMParty
