Richard Morant and other actors


Hi. I was looking at this series as I am a fan of Richard Morant. But, according to this listing there are other actors of interest, Norma Streader, Clive Francis and Preston Lockwood to name a few.

Anyway, what I don't know is, does the dvd shown contain more than one episode with all of these people (apologies, I have never seen the series) or has, as I suspect, the IMDB lumped all the actors from various episodes onto one long list?

Cheers for any clues! :-)

Richard Morant first came to my notice as the cad Flashman in Tom Browns schooldays. When I went on to read the series of books about Flashman by George Fraser I always visualised RM as Flashman and I think its a great pity these novels only had one airing as a film. I always felt RM had great star quality and I think its a great pity he never really got to play a heroic lead as he had the charisma to carry it off. I was greatly saddened when I read of his sudden death.

All the actors mentioned on your list are in the first complete 'book' there are 3 episodes contained on the same DVD which completes this 'Book'.

After 'Strong poison' there are two other DVDs with Richard Morant in, in the same series.

I hope you watch them and enjoy them as much as i have! hope it helps!

Thanks embabe!

So, 'Strong Poison' is the first one? I'll start with that then. I really want to see anything with RM in - the other actors are secondary but it seemed like a good place to start. Then when I've got the hang of what's going on I'll move onto the other two...

Right, off to order that then. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Thanks again :-)
