But it's easy to see why Paul Darrow was chosen as Avon -- his style, his prose... The only reason why people say Paul hams up his roles is because people saw "Timelash" and mistake it as a genuinely good plot. Paul didn't, which is why he went over the top in that story. And that's why the story remains entertaining, Paul and Colin Baker's performances... the story itself needed a couple rewrites, but what was made was woolly and Paul certainly noticed that. Rightly so...
Avon is in the tan and blue w/green... the coolest of the three outfits, naturally... :)
Prefect has the fancy silver/gray frock with the funky fresh disco hair...
Not sure who the geezer with the cross and blue frock is, however...
Thanks for posting the video. The British are known for theatre, of which television of the time was treated AS televised theatre, but it's still weird seeing two iconic actors playing Shakespearean characters. Really well acted by ALL.
