30 Days Of Adam Adamant #11
22. Favourite voice
Adam's. Gerald Harper enunciates so beautifully, and his line delivery is spot on every time, especially when he's towing a fine line between serious and silly. Adam Adamant is the sort of character who could very easily tumble into parody or worse, but Harper manages to keep him from becoming too absurd. The whole cast, often guest cast included, really do have wonderful speaking voices, but Harper wins it for me. I can't imagine anybody else delivering some of those lines even half so well.
23. Best scene involving music/dancing
Probably any scene involving anybody being very stereotypically sixties, especially if Adam is looking on in thinly disguised horror. I'd love to know how anybody could be an agent in the service of his country, as Adam was and is, forever dealing with the darker side of life, and yet remain so resolutely innocent. If it were a more realistic show, I would object, but it's so comic booky in its style that it's easy to overlook such glaring issues. Adam's innocence is such fun. I'd feel like a terrible killjoy if I complained.
