Damian Lewis was a wonder (and I had only seen him as Soames Forsythe prior to this). I even bought the DVD set for my father because this is exactly the kind of thing he loves. <br /><br />This makes me ache that Life is not on anymore... someone get Damian Lewis a new show pronto!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317568565085893849noreply@blogger.com
