The Scarlet Pimpernel (Richard E. Grant, Elizabeth McGovern, Martin Shaw, 1998)
Another crack at a small-screen version of the Pimpernel that fared well. Grant received much acclaim for his portayal of Sir Percy. His acting was not quite as over-the-top as Anthony Andrews some 15 years earlier but certainly not lacking in foppish behaviour. Martin Shaw was a strange casting for Chauvelin when you consider the role had previously been played by actors of the caibre of Ian McKellen and Raymond Massey.
