Many thanks for the upload, Great show! I especially like the Board Room table as a circle instead of a rectangle as it changes the dynamic for everyone around the table. It's a psychological improvement giving everyone an equal view of everyone else around the table, where your neck doesn't need to be stained, and you don't have your back to anyone when looking at whoever is speaking. It does make it less formal, but it empowers everyone around to be paying attention. Many board director/president/leaders when sitting at a rectangle table get a sense of power, when at a circle table, everyone is (actually) part of the same team. A small but important change.
To clarify, a round table is ideal for no more than 8 people as presented (6-8 people), any more than that and it's a larger table making it harder to speak with the person opposite.
Wikipedia doesn't show the link, but Peter Bowles (died in 2022) played Richard DeVere in To the Manor Born (1979 to 1981). That's where I remember watching him in (and why they have such good chemistry in this show). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Bowles en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_the_Manor_Born Although I haven't watched every show of/with Penelope Keith (she's still alive in November 2024 probably still doing more shows at 84), I think To the Manor Born is her best roll. (the whole show is hopefully still available on TH-cam or DailyMotion somewhere)

It was one of the reasons that they case Peter as the husband in series 2 and 3 after Geoffrey Palmer was unavailable.
I like the new Donald MUCH better!
THEME TUNE CATCHY WHO SINGS IT
Julie Covington. Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
Would you be able to upload the rest of the series please?
Yes I will be doing along with series 3.
I didn't realise there was a series 3, thanks @@vbt1957
not same.. why did they switch Donald? Completely different character now..
Geoffrey Palmer was unable to commit to series 2
Great... Is that the end of the series?
Are there more series?
No it's not the end of the series and then there's the 3rd series to come.
