Well, I've seen all of the UFO episodes several times, James,
and I think whoever described it as 'wooden' very probably
saw it for himself.

Griff,
I'm not sure why Dolores had to wear a flesh color body stocking
under
her Skydiver top when she was clearly wearing a bra. Double safety do
you suppose?

That was in the days before women's undergarments could be advertized on
television... not to mention other 'products' that weren't advertised...

It's all in the eye of the beholder...
Was seriously watching E.S.P. yesterday <dabbing daintily at drool at
mouth's corner just thinking of it> and was amazed by his Edness' acting
when he and Alec are in Croxley's house. It's all done in finesse, the
little signs giving away his nervousness at the guy's actions, how pissed he
is at having to part with his gun and even how he expects to get it when
Croxley moves behind him...

Talk about wooden.
Moi finds the Picard guy wooden in ST:TNG. Flame me all you want: I just
don't care about the guy!

Sorry TAE, but women's undergarment's have always been adverised on
television or at least they have here in the States, we ever were able to
she women wearing bras on TV up to 1969 when the censors made them stop and
then they could only show them on a bust mannequin. And if Dolores was
wearing a body stocking, and I will take her word for it it had to be under
the bra not over it since the bra is very visible in the episode.

Hmm - not quite. I think there are such things as good acting
and bad acting, it's not just subjective. There's a reason
that Vanessa Redgrave and Meryl Streep never had regular parts
in Crossroads for example ;)

Moi aussi at times. He is a good actor, but occasionally his
style is a wee bit too stiff for TNG, imo. A bit too theatrical.
Would probably work great for Shakespeare in the theatre, though.
