some people do not appreciate the magical element in ro and but they be what set this series apart and that and the fact the producer actually decide to dress the actor in proper period clothes and armour not anachronistic feather cap and multi colour tights and plate armour . but i be really write to comment on an early poster article . um and michael praed do not leave ro to do jules verne . there be 15 year between these two series . yup and i agree and michael might well agree too that leave ro be not a good move but it be a coveted broadway role that tempt him in 84 and then dynasty with it megabucks paycheck .
