@d4doome Yes, I agree entirely about Ian Carmichael. One of my all-time favourite actors. And I suspect had he been a decade younger, he would have pulled off the Death Breedon pretense a bit better.

It really was a shame that Carmichael's two best-known roles were each a decade late. He should have been in his 30s playing Bertie Wooster and in his 40s when playing Wimsey, but Carmichael's skills and charm as an actor carried him through magnificently.
