He was 32 when he became king. Maybe it happens too fast. I just don't see this particular actor as king Richard. Maybe I don't like his manners. Well, Richard was as big a git as John was. At least the Crown Jewels didn't come out in the Wash |

He even sounds like Avon. He could have had a lucrative career as an Avon lookalike. |

PD hasn't had much to do. He needs to crack on with the robber-baroning This is just the scene setting. Patience is a virtue. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Avon, I can't say how I am glad to see you! You speak like him sometimes. |

I agree with Taiellin. I don't think this Richard has the charisma to be the King Richard of legend, git or otherwise.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Well, I don't care about you lot of nouveau English ( and Russian), I liked it. I shall reserve judgment on Richard.

I need more Avon. Yeah, he was a bit peripheral but I'm sure he'll start kicking butt in Episode 2. Or possibly 3 or 4. |

There. Thank you. I will listen to it. And it's from a completely different version of the story, in even more episodes. Here's the original (which many Brits of a certain age know by heart): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbyYr...byYr6L5xQM "You're not sulking, I hope?"
