30 Days Of Adam Adamant #2

03. Favourite regular character

Adam! Adam's great. He dashes heroically into battle with a cape and a sword-stick, and he wears the most splendid shoes. Gerald Harper plays him perfectly, with tongue just slightly in cheek, like a Boy's Own hero come to life. He's a bit ridiculous, but in all the right ways.

04. Favourite guest character

That's a tough question. John le Mesurier is as good as you'd expect as the oily Velmer in "The Terribly Happy Embalmers", and Peter Vaughan is extremely effective as crazed preacher Doctor Mort in "The Doomsday Plan". Then there's Peter Jeffrey as Sinoda, the beautiful-people-collecting nut from "Beauty Is An Ugly Word". I think I would choose Colin Jeavons, though, as fashion designer-gone-evil Roger Clair in "To Set A Deadly Fashion". He's brilliant, he really is.

#3 - agreed! Though I loved Georgina and Simm (Simms?) as well.

#4 - ooh, that's difficult. I quite liked the female baddie in Episode 1, though I can't recall the actor's name or her character's off-hand. Just remember what a bad-ass she was and her catch phrases of "Get the form?" and "pretty boy". :D

She's a terrific enemy, yes. I like her ruthlessness, and her attitude. She's probably one of the most openly brutal bad guys that Adam and Georgina face.
