watched a fascinating interview with Suchet on the night of a screening of FINAL CURTAIN. i dont remember who aired it - but it was the debut of FINAL CURTAIN in the US. anyway the interview and then audience questions was wonderful. his rappaport with the audience (some very enthusiastic fans) was touching and admirable... he talked about his path in creating the role - one thing i loved that he mentioned - when he started the first set of HP he sat down and read ALL the stories and novels and every fact or note about HP and his characteristics, history etc he wrote down - he said the binder is huge now - and that was before they knew they would be filming all of the works. i agree that he and Hickson embody both of those characters (i have not watched any of the latest set of Marples- while i admire and like MacKenzie - NOT as Marple and i am finding the changing of the stories and adding characters etc to be very distracting and often disastrous) i may join you on your journey - have never read all of them either - i have many in hard/paper back but agree about the KINDLE prices. do watch as i have grabbed a few when Kindle has sales - will advise you if that happens (i got all of D Sayers for about 1 each in 2013 right before christmas!)

sounds like you worked hard and were rewarded sumptously! how wonderful to read these reports ... especially for those of us for whom this will never happen.

oh my sounds delightful! wish i could squeeze into the back or the passenger seat and share the driving. dying for a week at a beach and cornwall would be extra special ;o sigh one year! cant wait to see lots of photos and hear about sleeping and walks on the beach and naps and walks and eating and naps and.... ;o it will be wonderful to be at the beach with those adorable girls!
