David Soul was a guy who had a lot of acting chops. Weirdly my first exposure to him was as one-half of a psychotic bank robbing duo in the TV film In the Line of Duty: The FBI Murders. The other psycho was Michael Gross! They were both superb and the final shootout is genuinely intense and bleak.

Ahh here it is.
The "new circus" people are on the wrong track, I think. In their view, it seems, the acts are corny; what is important is the meanings that can be attached to them. But in fact it is those meanings that are corny. What is serious is the acts.
