What is that cloth thing 'Richard' is wearing? It looks like it hasn't been washed in months.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Cygnus Bazza
No sign of Little John or Triar F*ck yet

A bit too skinny and a lot too young?

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.

PD hasn't had much to do. He needs to crack on with the robber-baroning
 
M1795537OCVirn
He even sounds like Avon.

He could have had a lucrative career as an Avon lookalike.

This is just the scene setting. Patience is a virtue.

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

Maybe. It is not that. Something else bothers me.

Was that 'Episode One: Not Much Happens'?
 
M1795537OCVirn
I agree with Taiellin. I don't think this Richard has the charisma to be the King Richard of legend, git or otherwise.

Establishing characters is everything in BBC drama.

Well, not EVERYTHING. We also need some nice scenery.

I need more Avon.
 
Cygnus Bazza
I quite enjoyed that. Just twenty-seven to go.

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

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