Terrific Welsh TV series now on DVD
I'm really pleased to see that A Mind to Kill, the excellent TV series starring that superb actor, Philip Madoc (no relation!), is now on DVD. The English language version, that is. The Welsh-language one was filmed separately and, as far as I know, is not yet available on DVD.
Oddly, I have a strong memory of seeing it on my hotel-room TV in Paris once, dubbed into German! No doubt Philip Madoc did his own dubbing for that as he speaks German fluently. I seem to remember that it was said that when he appeared in a BBC version of The Last of the Mohicans, he learned to speak Huron for his role, but that may be apocryphal!
Those of you who like Dad's Army will remember him as the German U-Boat captain captured by the Home Guard. "Don't tell him, Pike!"
