I'm going to have to ask here as well

[tigerfort]

Am I the only person on LJ/DW who thinks of Peter Capaldi as the Angel Islington in Neverwhere, rather than the boring sweary guy in the totally unfunny comedy? (I'm aware that my opinions on "The thick of it" put me in a minority, but I stand by them.)

Ohhh THAT'S where I've seen him before.

Er, no, then :-)

I'm glad to know that at least one of my friends is a person of taste and sophistication :)

Taste and sophistication but no memory ;-)

Yes, but I've never seen TTOI, so I don't have an opinion on it...

I certainly think of him as Islington (but "rather than a character in that thing I have never seen").

I still get a chill from the "I'm in heaven" song! Islington totally & not just because I hadn't heard of the comedy programme thing before ;)

[tigerfort.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

I always think of him as Islington. And also Fellomar in Tom Jones.

Yep, me four (or whatever) on having never watched TTOI and have no desire to do so. I think of him as The Angel Islington, definitely, and also as Caecilius, which will be interesting... (I have a soft spot for Caecilius and family ever since my Cambridge Latin Course days, so the portrayal sticks in my mind.)

Also, as a friend pointed out to me, this will mean that the Angel has the Phone Box :-D

Snigger :)
