Cordelia
Winfield (named after the Aussie cigarette brand of course ;-) who was
on secondment from Special Branch's Diplomatic Service. Rewatching the
30 episodes that made up the series again in this awesome and very
attractively put together 8 disc set from Umbrella now the real star of
the show would have to be The Baron's awesome Jenson (number plate BAR
1).
It's
a nicely entertaining series though and watch out for some famous names
in guest roles including the likes of John Thaw, Peter Wyngarde, Peter
Bowles, George Baker, Jeremy Brett and Edward Woodward. All in all then
the 8 disc Baron box set proves itself to be another worthy addition to
Umbrella's growing collection of ITC box sets and has to be marked down
by fans as indispensable.
Any
Special Features?
Like
all of the Umbrella ITC sets The Baron has a fantastic array of extras
including audio commentaries with Sue Lloyd, production supervisor
Johnny Goodman and director's Roy Ward Baker and Cyril Frankell; Episode
intros by Peter Wyngarde, Annette Andre and legendary writer Brian
Clemens; another fantastic insert reprint of the original ITC Pressbook;
PDF for DVD-Room original story publicity and info; stacks of galleries;
An amusing Sue Lloyd fashion gallery; French title sequence, a
sponsorship credit sequence, extensive production notes cast and crew
profiles and trailers for other Umbrella product.
