I was bordering-on-appalled, dom, when I finally saw 1968 (as an adult anyway, and I don't remember it from childhood), after being familiar with both 1967 and 1897, and finding the writers making a gradual transition for Barnabas, between villain and hero, expecting us just to shift our attitude gradually. I mean, there were no huge life-changing transformational moments. It's as if they expected our attitude toward him to morph into a positive one, for no particular reason. I'm sure they expected this partly because of the huge fan base Jonathan had acquired. Plus, we'd seen innocent Barnabas in 1795.
