He is the superhero of his day, a British archetype, famous throughout the world. In this version he can shoot an arrow,albeit very well. And Marian is playing up the Nurse Gladys Emmanuel(?) a bit to far. Oh well at least Torchwood looks like its going to be fun, and how about Greystoke, last night. I had fond memories of this film, notably the late great Ralph Richardson’s wonderful cameo as the old grandfather. But what a hoot presenting the Belgians as the good guys in Africa. You would imagine Emperor Leopold had never happened, but then again, if you visit Cap Ferrat, perhaps he didn’t.
