School For Scoundrels has dated as badly as some of the worst Carry On #movies have. It has left such a bad taste that I am going to have to abort the plan for more #AlastairSim and find something completely different.
Hmmm.
Five Red Herrings (1975), last and best of the superb BBC TV adaptations of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries starring Ian Carmichael (the definitive screen Lord Peter). Fine writing, great performances by the whole cast. Terrific.

@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.

Blissed-out 1993 electronica from #DotAllison, #IanCarmichael, and Jim McKinven from #AlteredImages, in a mix by #StephenHague.
Couldn't fail in a hazy lazy summer, couldn't possibly fail, came out after the summer had turned, made number 43. The group went their ways in the new year, and Dot's become quite the star.
