It took a while before I recognized that Sir Piers Giffard was portrayed by James Wilby since I hadn't seen him in a while. It wasn't until the scene in which he lit into Sir Robert Peel that it dawned on me probably because, once again, he was playing a pompous, constipated prig! I always enjoy his performances but honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing him in a role that's different -- e.g., a person who's likeable. If anyone can point out any, let me know because I've missed them!
