I can't believe the BBC deleted Jamie's first serial, and also deprived us of seeing Two in drag. Jail for one thousand years!
It's kind of amazing to me how firmly this story is on the side of (or at least sympathetic to) the Jacobite rebellion. All of the English characters (except, of course, for our companions Ben and Polly) are evil, or fools, or evil fools. This feels fairly radical to me for the most British of programs.
I wish we'd gotten to see more of Ben and Polly, as Polly in particular seems delightful. Truly, we were robbed.
