Thank you, thank you, thank you, BBC, for not only releasing this quite excellent TV adaptation from the 1960s but adding English subtitles in a readable font size. I remember watching this series in England on Sunday afternoons on the TV in our sitting room.
Alan Badel was superb in the role of the Count.
To come across it again is truly a treat. I am now in my 70s and almost deaf so the subtitles make it possible for me to enjoy it to the full all once more.
The cast is filled with several other old friends besides Badel. Not least is an early performance by Philip Madoc who went on to distinguish himself as Magwa in an excellent TV production of The Last of the Mohicans and as the U Boat commander in a memorable episode of Dad's Army.
