Digital Spy has reveled the first official photos of Michael Weston and Stephen Mangan as Houdini & Doyle. Drink them in!
Set in London in 1901, Houdini & Doyle is a 10-episode fictional series featuring the famous duo investigating paranormal mysteries. It will air in 2016 on ITV Encore (UK), Global TV (Canada), and FOX (U.S.).
Strait-jacket photo: Oh, oh...John Cox isn't going to like the "arm-placement" position as depicted (right arm is ON TOP of the left arm, instead of beneath the left arm's elbow). :-)
Mangan looks to me more like Watson than Doyle, in these outfits. (Although I suspect neither Watson nor Doyle would ever have worn a green suit, though I can't say I've exhaustively researched it.)
Some of the latest press material suggested the series will have a semi-comedic tone, and that is certainly the feel I'm getting from the top photo. The bowtie above the jacket neck?

ReplyDeleteIndeed! But not as bad a straitjacket fail as some.

Stinkin cheaters...
Look at those cheap props. They couldn't flip the bill for some real restraints? Not a good sign.
