Cast

[edit]

I have added Andrew McCulloch, who played Captain, later Colonel Leckie, and Peter Birch, who was the second actor to play Lord Edward Ferrar. Both appear in more episodes than some of those that were already listed and Edward Ferrar is clearly a major character, while Leckie is significant recurring character.

Starring section in infobox

[edit]

The inclusion of Jeremy Clyde as one of the three starring actors seems odd. He is only in 3 of the 20 episodes, and only in one of these does he play a major role. Julian Glover's inclusion might also be debated as he left the series after 8 episodes of series one when his character was killed off although he was featured heavily in promotional material for the series. However it is worth noting that Lucy Aston, Timothy Bentinck and Rob Edwards are not included despite being regulars throughout the two series and playing key characters whom the stories revolved around Lucinda Lacey/Ferrar, Tom Lacey and John Fletcher. All appeared in 17 of the 20 episodes. I therefore think Jeremy Clyde should be removed and think there is room for discussion as to who else should be featured. If it is on episode count I would note after Sharon Maughan with 19 the next most appearances was the late Andrew MacLachlan as Mr Cropper, but I am not sure if Cropper the Steward would be considered a starring part.

Another possibility might be Peter Jeffrey as Cromwell, given he has major role and features prominently in many episodes of the second series. Dunarc (talk) 20:16, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
