RIP Terrence Hardiman (6.4.1937 - 9.5.2023)
"I started to be recognised in the street, especially as I lived near schools around here, in North-West London. And there were people – youngsters – looking at me, and shouting out at me, and making fun of me, which is very healthy. It stopped me being too grand!"
"I have been lucky and achieved a lot in my career but then so have a lot of actors when they get to my age. I am of an age now where I think that anything that comes after this is a bonus. It is nice to be asked but also I would be perfectly happy to sit back now and not do anything else."
#terrence hardiman#rip#death ment tw#character actors#the demon headmaster#crown court#softly softly: task force#justice#enemy at the door#rebecca#diary of a nobody#secret army#the bunker#ladykillers#gandhi#inspector morse#doctor who#wish me luck#cadfael#the worst witch#the worst week of my life#in some ways the very definition of a character actor; scrolling his long‚ long list of credits on imdb it's immediately clear#that the vast majority of Hardiman's tv work was in single episode guest appearances. regular roles are few and leads near non existent#until of course he found a newer level of fame later in life as the Demon Headmaster‚ an iconic and hugely successful bit of kids tv#I'm of roughly the right age to have enjoyed the series first time around but actually i didn't watch it (i uh... was a little too scared#of it) but I was aware of Hardiman and began to notice him as he popped up in the old tv i was starting to devour. often cast in#authoritarian roles as either police officers or barristers or (surprisingly often) nazi soldiers‚ there was always an easy professionalism#and an unexpected depth to his performances no matter how shallow the role. and what a career! a real work horse of an actor who seemingly#never stopped working (as well as his incredible imdb list he recorded hundreds of audio books and toured extensively in theatre#productions‚ including stints with the RSC and later a small company specialising in ghost stories for the stage). an enviable career

Hello! If you are still doing the detective casting ask game, how would you cast Jodie Comer in Cadfael? Thank you! 😊
An agreeable challenge! I would like to cast her as Aline. I think Aline's steeliness is somewhat overlooked. After all, she negotiates with a king, confronts the aftermath of a siege, and holds her own while trying to cope with newly acquired power and the dynamics of a disputed king's court at the same time. Also, there is the fact that Hugh Beringar, who will lie unblushingly, risk his own neck in a good cause, and out-scheme anyone but a rare Benedictine, takes one look at her and says: that one. I think she's great.

Pentiment Easter Egg
Tumblr media
Pentiment has a Cadfael Easter Egg! 😍 I've just had Andreas break into the library, and he comes across a book of herbs: "The author's called Cadfaellus of Salopia (i.e. Shrewsbury). He doesn't sound familiar."
But he does to me! Read most of the Cadfael books when I was around thirteen. They're lovely. Ellis Peters also wrote novels about the Welsh Princes, which have been on my reading list for decades and which I am absolutely going to read next year.
ETA: And just hit the Name of the Rose Easter Egg!

where is the Cadfael themed met gala. everyone dresses like a Benedictine monk from the 1100s who would for sure have been a Franciscan except the order wasn’t invented yet. where is Jeremy strong in a monk’s hood, freshly shaved tonsure, as if he has only just made the life-altering decision to become a man of the cloth. Everyone has a sprig of some herb behind their ear but it has to be an herb that Cadfael himself would have grown in his herbarium

I'd put Pentiment on my wishlist based on @yekokataa's recommendation, and I got a notification that it was on sale on payday so I went for it.
10/10, excellent game, the noise I made at this reference was just ridiculous.

I just finished watching all episodes of Good Omens 2. So now I safely read posts about it.
I'd been avoiding spoilers so much I hadn't even realized Derek Jacobi was in it! (Not it itself a spoiler.)
Now I want to rewatch him as Brother Cadfael. (also not a spoiler. Go watch Cadfael.)

Hooting and hollering and jeering at the TV but it’s not a sports game I’m watching, it’s a BBC period drama from the 90’s
