Heat of the Sun

[minimarsbar]

I love him in this 3 part series - he is "so in control" of each situation he finds himself in, and he's a bit of a hero at times too AND he wears a uniform most of the time.

[Jennifer]

That's the one with Steve and Mr Bond, James Bond; isn't it?

It's ver' ver' good. A really good story and a wonderful cast.

[Jools]

Nah Steve and Mr Bond (Daniel Craig) is Sword of Honour, this one is with Trevor Eve I believe

[Jennifer]

Dang, I was just about to come back to correct myself there.

Well: I would recommend Sword of Honour!

I'll have to watch this 'Heat of the Sun' you speak of. But by the looks of the screencaps I know I won't like his hair. So that's put a dampener on things already.

[minimarsbar]

I actually quite like his hair in this although it is very short. Give the prog a go Jennifer, he plays a really nice person and he's on screen quite bit. It's set in Africa in the 1930's and easy to watch.

[Jools]

Yes he was in this one, but quite near the end and only for about 2 minutes, episode 2 has him in it the most, although why they put Trevor Eve in pyjamas and not Julian is a travesity if you ask me!

[chatterbox]

So did anyone else watch this week's episode? I hadn't seen this for years and I love all the macho gun-waving, and the 'posh' voice. Good stories as well!

[Rosie]

Yes, I caught the second half of it this week and thought it was good. Julian + uniform + rifle = grrrr!

Did you see that the boat featured towards the end was called SIMBA II? Presumably, even back then, Sue White was planning Simba I.

[Rosie]

Did anyone else watch the last episode? I got a bit lost in all the plot twists but it was enjoyable anyway.

I thought we might see Julian on horseback as they were all riding at one point, but I didn't spot him. Maybe he doesn't do horses. And Trevor Eve got to ride the vintage motorbike, although it seemed to belong to James Valentine - pity we didn't see JRT on it.

[Jools]

Julian was on horseback for one very brief moment and seemed to be managing quite well, but I did notice that we didn't see him dismount. Yeh shame no Julian on the bike, but then we get to see him snoozing in the back of a car!

[ducatilady]

I was watching out for Julian on horseback too, and I didn't spot it, oh well, will just have to watch it again & pay more attention.

[tutt-sweet]

...oh yes he was certainly on horseback & looked to be coping quite well ![ I say this as a seasoned horserider & not just a sycophantic JRT fan too!]
No shots of his dismounting tho- which may have been a giveaway that he isn't/wasn't too happy around our equine friends!!

I don't like or agree with guns, but boy did he look sexy holding that rifle?!!!

[minimarsbar]

I've watched the scene in slow motion on the dvd and you can see him riding but not for very long. I suspect it wasn't him in the long shot of the gallup!

[faeriequeen]

Just felt the need to resurrect this topic and say how much I *heart* his character in this...he's just so effortlessly cool and charming and I have to admit that I actually do quite like his hair! AND his prowess with firearms is rather alluring too...I'd certainly feel protected if I was with him!

[Rosie]

Agree, FQ, I've always had a soft spot for James Valentine - all the charm without the smarm!

[Baggiebird]

'The next one kills you.' Fab His hair is very fraise blonde in this but I really like the colour, haven't made my mind up about the length though

[Mac Valentine]

As my name suggests Mr Valentine is a particular favourite of mine. Love the hair colour and length.
Very proper, very stiff upper lip, very spiffing

[Lil]

It was Heat of the Sun that first started my interest (obsession) with Julian.
Fell in love with the character and with him!

[goshandcrikey]

haven't watched it in ages so guess valentine will be helping me out in the workroom tonight
