I would definitely have to disagree. I am a big fan of Marsden's Dalgliesh.
That was what drew me to watch Sandbaggers the first time. His skill in
playing two such very different men amazed me. Dalgliesh IS the poet and
detective as P.D. James wrote him, his voice usually quiet and firm, while
Neil is an absolute bastard, unscrupulous and excitable. Imagine Dalgliesh
speaking to HIS secretary the way Neil does?

He also made an appearance in the Survivors and it was only his voice that
gave him away. Long-haired, dirty and very evil -- even his facial
expressions were unrecognizable -- a completely different side. As you
said, Nicole, an *Actor*!

One of the symptoms of impending nervous breakdown is the belief that
your work is terribly important.
