An interesting read, thank you for posting. But honestly, those costumes. . . how did the actors keep a straight face?? They look like a mash between Mad Max and Dr. Seuss. What in the world were the designers thinking!? |

It was a year after Star Wars went on general release in Britain so, probably... mythic SF? Diana's costume would've been okay in Blakes 7, this was the time of the Clonemaster costume which appeared in a fanfare of dry ice and might've worked there. _________________ Last watched: "The Medicine Men" |

As with when Dr Who did Minoan costumes (in 1972's The Time Monster) we are perhaps lucky the BBC weren't allowed to make them authentically topless! _________________ Last watched: "The Medicine Men"

I'm listening to this which is on BBC Radio 4 right now, first broadcast three years ago:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001rjt
Neil Gaimans Norse Mythology
Drama
And the game begins anew
We meet the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the little girl who grows up to be Queen of the dead.
We meet Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his eye to see the future, and Freya the understandably angry, most beautiful of the gods and always being gambled for by unwanted suitors. And the stories take us to the very end of the world, Ragnarok.
Neil Gaimans Norse Mythology invites us into a world of gods and monsters, fiery endings and new beginnings, tricks and trust.
Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan and Natalie Dormer lead a stellar cast, inviting us into these stories of old betrayals and new hope.
Also featuring Neil Gaiman himself.
Dramatised by Lucy Catherine.

Diana's 1977 series Three piece suite is on youtube. If you're quick you might catch these before they're removed.
