Title: DS revival series observation
Post by: Brian on July 24, 2006, 01:28:12 AM

Some time ago, I posted a comment about the DS revival series DVD collection, which was released in a matted 16x9 version.  Well, the DVD release looks great on a widescreen TV--even the original series (which was not exactly recorded with the screen composition as a top priority) looks good when zoomed to fit a 16x9 screen.

But that's not the intent of this message.  I think I may have posted this a long time ago--if so, please forgive me.  If not, then I'd like to hear from others about this:  in episode 1 of the revival series, at about 15 minutes and 30 seconds into the show, as Carolyn leads Vicki upstairs, we see a portrait of Ben Cross as Barnabas on the right side of the frame.  On the left is a portrait of another Collins ancestor, strongly resembling Thayer David.  Did anyone else notice this, and does anyone know if Mr. David is the subject in that portrait, perhaps as a tribute by DC?

Thanks,

Brian

Hmm, don't know Brian, but now I'll have to dig out my tapes and look at it!   ;)
