I appear to be making a habit of viewing a naked PF Silba

Watched Pleasure Principle the other day and Dominick Hide today....it's very good Wink

Equus is on my list for tomorrow to watch....quite looking forwards to it to be honest Smile

It appears Pleasure Principle has been released on DVD (thanks to the PFF for the heads up.) You can get it through Amazon. Any idea why it would be "all regions?" If anyone ends up buying it, can you post what the quality of the recording is like, thanks.

Thanks for the heads up, Tea Lady. I've ordered it - I'll let you know what it's like. Whoop!

There is a profile of Peter's character on the BBC's South Riding Page here ...and boy, does he look old in the picture that's shown there. They must have worked a little bit on that...

I ordered this via Amazon, and received the DVD yesterday (very quick shipping!) I would describe the recording quality as reasonable. It's most definitely watchable, and the picture is an average VHS-type quality. Ever-so-slightly blurry, but clear enough to enjoy. Wink

The sound is fine.

The Ian Wylie South Riding interview is HERE. Complete with audio files featuring PF.

A BAFTA for Best Line Delivered to a Cat! Priceless! Big Grin

Can't wait to meet Edgar the cat. Have always loved cats, but never wanted to be one, till now ... and I don't even know what that line says! Dodgy

Thanks so much for that link, Pepelow. I can't wait for tomorrow night. And as Ian Wylie says, all other programmes can wait - this is the one to watch!

It was great to read (and hear) so much of PF's thoughts on the programme. I love that he seemed to have some influence both over the choice of part and the look of the character, and that he made the choices that he did. I'm impressed, as when I read the book I found Snaith one of the most intriguing characters.

I'm very much looking forward to the cat line!!

Just one thought, though. When PF said "yes" to the question would he go on in Spooks, I picked up some mental image of him not actually having a choice in the matter (ie he might have been written out in S10). I'm sure there was some sort of infinitesmal hesitation there - or is this just paranoia getting the better of me? I spent most of series 9 convinced that either Harry or Ruth would not make it. It played havoc with my nerves and I spent most of ep8 holding my breath. What does anyone else think of his response?

Thanks for posting, Pepelow - some nice little snippets of PF's real voice. I'm looking forward to the cat scenes, too.

I shall be rooted to the TV at 9pm tomorrow and banish the other 'alf to another part of the house. Bring it on!

I didn't detect any hesitation in PF's voice. I really don't think they're writing him or Ruth out of season 10. This is going to be the season where they get together. The writers absolutely have to do it.
