Ooooo,wouldn't it be fun to take a sail aboard that ship? I'd love it dearly,but would probably get sooooo seasick,I couldn't stand it!!

I'm with you Ship. I tend to seasickness, even on a large cruiseship, so I'm sure a tall sailing ship would be even worse. I'd have never made it on a long trip in the Age of Sail.

Uh-uh,no way. I always get a smile out of the Hornblower episode "The Duchess and the Devil" where she's so sick, and Horatio comes in to invite her to dine!

Thanks, Annee. This is a nice reminder. I've read the essay by me_richter is nicely written and fun to read. For those who have never read it, it's worth taking a look.

I've seen it too,Annee,and it gives a nice rundown of Ioan's work. It's nice for someone who hasn't seen one of his films,and wants a thumbnail review.

This blogger has an intriguing take on the Burberry closure affair (including Ioan's involvement) and the Welsh theatre scene in general.... http://perfectway.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/dont-look-back-in-anger/ (scroll down the page)

Interesting blog entry. The take on the Burberry closure affair is, indeed, intriguing. The Welsh theatre scene doesn't sound much different from 'suburban' theatre scenes elsewhere in the world.

It looks like the play was put on about a week or two before Ioan arrived for the Welsh BAFTAS. Too bad he wsn't there to see it. It probably would have felt a little surreal to see something like that and be mentioned since it happened so recently. Thanks for the find, Stevie. And for yours to Annee.

Really enjoyed these posts,Stevie and Annee,.....would love to know Ioan's thoughts on the situation as it stands now,huh?

Vauxhall Vixens - I agree that it's hard to get enough of Ioan in costume dramas. He suits them so well. But I would not want to see him limit himself to them. I thought he did an excellent job dealing with the humor in The TV Set, so I would really like to see him do more comedy. Maybe a period comedy - a remake of The Three Musketeers, for instance? Ok I'd take a romantice comedy. too. I couldn't see number two, but agree wholeheartedly with the third blogger's assessment of The TV Set. Nice blogs, Annee.

That is a nice comment on the series, annee, thanks! I like Ioan as Jack in L21stC, though he turns out to be.......well, I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it. Despite the title, it's an engaging little drama. :cool:

His Jack in this production was quite a charmer with a twist, wasn't he? Quite nicely played by Ioan and so different from some of his other roles. Thanks for finding that blog, Annee.

Nice to see that others appreciate Ioan's talents.

Nice find, Annee. I enjoyed this blog.

Hi Annee, Thank you for finding all these nice blogs. They are fun to read and say so many nice,positive things.
