I’ve just finished watching the BBC’s Scarlet Pimpernel series, all six of them: “The Scarlet Pimpernel”, “Valentin Gautier”, “The King’s Ransom”, “Ennui”, “Friends and Enemies”, “A Good Name”.

I love the actors playing Percy, Chauvlin, Robespierre and Marguerite! I absolutely love them!
# Richard E. Grant is a great actor! He has the best smile I have ever seen – radiant and heartwarming.
# Elizabeth McGovern is a very good actress too. The great thing is that Elizabeth McGovern and Richard Grant have more chemistry than the pair of Jane Seymour and Anthony Andrews, who played in the other version of the Scarlet Pimpernel (1982).
# Robespierre was played by Ronan Vibert and I have to admit I knew nothing about this actor before but I enjoyed watching how he played, especially when he was fighting for his daughter.
# Martin Shaw as Paul Chauvelin …. OMG, I love this Chauvelin!
He’s wonderful, isn’t he?
