Hi, Neil. Love from India.

I was reading about victorian literature for my exams and I came across this paragraph according to which Dick Turpin was the name of one of the original characters of Harrison Ainsworth, the Victorian novelist. I was wondering whether this is how you named Newton's car in GO or is it all just a coincidence?

No, Dick Turpin was a real person. He was a highwayman. Ainsworth was using a real person in a pseudo-historical context.

Kaz: I try not to compliment people til they’re dead, but I guess you were… adequate today

Jesper, tearing up: That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me

Kaz, threateningly: Never repeat it!

The annoying thing about people trying to recommend other shows for OFMD fans (and streaming services indirectly comparing them to OFMD, like what's happening now with the Dick Turpin show) is how OFMD really is a very unique show.

There are other shows with queer characters. There are other shows with good poc rep. There are other shows with great acting, or good anti-racist and anti-colonialist writing, or great chemsitry between the leads, or that are good comedies or romantic comedies or good comedies with thoughtful writing. But I can't think of any other show that hits all of these marks so, so well.

OFMD is just so specific. Yeah, the new Dick Turpin show is superficially also about a historical outlaw that's very historically inaccurate and makes him out to be polite and bumbling at it. But it doesn't have the heart, it doesn't have the depth. There are other shows about pirates, there are other queer romcoms. But trying to compare OFMD to other shows just makes it stand out so much more how they're not like OFMD.

We don't want other shows. We want our show back.

#ofmd #our flag means death #tried watching thew new dick turpin show and it was fine! it was cute! but it just made me miss ofmd more

In March, Noel spoke to Paste Magazine about casting Greg Davies in "The Completely Made-up Adventures of Dick Turpin"!

Noel: “There was a part in Dick Turpin of the rival gang leader who’s a much better highwayman than me. I knew that Greg would be perfect for it. We were sort of writing it for him. But then we had to quickly check if he wanted to do it. And he was so busy at that point, because everyone wanted him. He was like, “I’ll do it if I can. I’ll do it if I can.” We just took a gamble and said, “Look, it’s got to be Greg. We’ll write it for him.” Because I’ve spent so much time with him, it was very easy for me to write in his tone of voice. Then, he comes in and improvises anyway. But you can get the gist of how he would be. Greg is just one of those performers that he’s such a big presence, as well as being a huge man. He’s a giant. But on set, he’s so funny. He’s so giggly and he makes himself laugh. And then everyone in the room laughs. That’s quite contagious. He’s always sort of not taking it seriously and there’s something really brilliant about that. He was a joy to work with.”

With costume reuse comes another kind of reuse – fabric. The distinctively colored striped silk fabric has also been used for a costume seen in Return to Cranford and Belgravia.

This waistcoat has been used in several productions depicting the late 18th century through the 19th century. It first turned up in the 1999 TV series The Scarlet Pimpernel, in both the second and third episode of the first season, where it was worn by Anthony Green as Andrew Ffoulkes.

From there, it was briefly used in the 2008 sixth episode of the miniseries John Adams, where Zak Orth wore it as James McHenry.

It appeared next in the 2009 miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, where Robert Bathurst wore the waistcoat as the character Mr.Weston.

Most recently, the piece showed up in the first episode of the 2024 show The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, where Noel Fielding wore it in the title role.
