Aww man, just saw Michael Gambon has passed. Just rewatched Wives and Daughters and Perfect Strangers, and both his performances were brilliant. I especially loved his take on The Squire, he played the hidden depths of that character and captured his relationship with Molly perfectly.

took me ages to figure out the story ( Philip constantly rewrites the very traumatic experiences of his childhood as a way to cope until finally with his adult mind understands and attain peace )

when I grow up I'm going to be a detective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hos1hoI2neU
