Welcome!

Your edits at the BBC Television Shakespeare page

Hello Jeffjn. I just wanted to thank you for your edits at the page mentioned above. The way the page was always bugged me as none of the terms used applied when I watched the plays here in the US back in the 70's and 80's. I had never taken the time to go back and fix them so I appreciate your cleaning the language up. I have one question. I remember reading in our TV Guide, that when the change from Cedric Messina's overseeing the series to Jonathon Miller occurred that there may have been some disgruntlement with Messina. I think the way that they put it was something like "after negotiating the straits of Messina Mr Miller is taking over to bring a fresh perspectvie to the series". Do you know anything about this and do you think that it should be added to the article?

I also remember that Mr Miller's switching of the costuming to all Elizabethan clothing was either interesting or controversial depending on your point of view. Do you think that should be mentioned also? My thanks for any help or assistance that you can provide. MarnetteD | Talk 16:56, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
