I was watching the cow creamer episode today, and it always cracks me up when I see actress Vivian Pickles as Aunt Dahlia, because to me she will ever and always be Harold's mother (from Harold And Maude). I expected to hear a Cat Stevens score usurp the Anne Dudley music whenever she was onscreen. <g>

I know this has been mentioned before, numerous times, but I agree: the use of different actors in so many of the crucial supporting roles is a bit jarring. There were *four* Aunt Dahlias. And to use Francesca Folan as Madeleine, and then later as Florence was a bit of a shock (especially seeing first season years after seeing 3rd and 4th seasons).

Does anyone else have favorites? I definitely prefer Richard Garnett's Gussie, Elizabeth Morton's Madeleine, and Fiona Gillies' Florence. I like both of the actresses who played Aunt Agatha, and all but the first portrayal of Aunt Dahlia (Harold's mother notwithstanding).

Ah well, as long as we got Fry and Laurie, I'm not complaining.
