Does anyone know the actors/characters shown during the theme music at the beginning of Masterpiece Classic? It starts with an image of Gillian Anderson but then who are the following ones? Thanks.
shareIt's Damian Lewis from 'The Forsyte Saga', Eamonn Walker from 'Othello', and Keira Knightley from 'Dr. Zhivago' (although I'm pretty sure the actual picture they used was *not* from Dr. Zhivago but one of her later films).
Am I missing any?
EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURT.
I think you've created a great game here for us MT aficionados. It takes longtime fans to know who some of those people are and in which series they appeared. For your purposes however, I know the actors and series but I cannot remember in what order their pictures are in
There's Anthony Andrews from UXB, Francesca Annis from Lillie and Gemma Jones from The Duchess of Duke Street.
I know there's a group portrait of the Upstairs, Downstairs cast of characters. It definitely includes David Langton, Simon Williams and Rachel Gurney from "Upstairs" and Gordon Jackson, Jean Marsh, Angela Baddeley from "Down". There's more included but I cannot remember who.
One more thing: I know it's neither an actor nor a photo but there's the miniature functioning guillotine from A Tale of Two Cities. Does that count?
It's posted in teh faq on PBS Masterpiece website.
