I've always found it very curious that when Tara slides down the ladder from the dead photographer's window and then gives Steed a little wave from the ground, she has a completely different hair style at the bottom from the one she departed with! Curls at the top, combed flat at the bottom! Always...

I don't have the details you ask for but I'm certain that they showed series 4 before moving on to 5 and then later 6. And I'm fairly certain that they stopped showing these repeats altogether before they had shown all of series 6. I'm just going by memory here, I was only a kid at the time but thes...

I couldn't tell if Tara's accent is intentional on Thorson's part, but it is pretty terrible - I feel like if it was intentional, it would have been more pronounced, but that's me. Yes, it is pretty impossible to tell from what's on screen! My guess that she's putting the awful accent on as part of...

Very sadly Peter Vaughan passed away yesterday. Thoughts are with his family at this time. But 93 was certainly a fair old innings.

Mike R, I can see Jane Merrow in the role, also I think Valerie Van Ost, Reed and Peach would have been good too. Would love to have been able to see the complete list of actresses who were considered. Alas I guess we will never know. myself, Van Ost would have been fine, but hey, Thorson was the b...

I love the Tara season unreservedly, and I would love to contribute a chapter or two. But obviously I'm new here and I don't really know exactly what it entails. Could someone please explain what is required from each contributor and then I can see if I could fit the bill?

Tara's Flat

I've always found Tara's flat to be a curious design. There are two doors, both of which seem to lead out into some sort of passageway/landing area, despite being on opposite sides. Why have the high door, and the staircase/fireman's pole, at all, since their only function is as an entrance to the f...
