Casting Call

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I can imagine Miranda Richardson (`Dance with a Stranger', `That Film
about the First Mrs Eliot' (not the real title), Queen Elizabeth in
`Blackadder II') getting the pent up evil and Machiavellian qualities.
I can also imagine a hundred villainesses from second rate television
programmes hamming it up horribly.
