My god….what a pose of a position. Hand limply hanging over the arm of his chair as if some aristocrat statesman.
What comes over people when in front of camera? Such affectation
I rather like the relaxed posture Mould takes.
Thank you for that useful piece of information…….
A great achiever!
I suppose you do his PR!
Well said. He is a fine man and I found his lecture at Masterpiece in 2013 utterly fascinating.
He is very entertaining and plainly has a great eye.
I’ve met him a couple of times – charming as well as a master of his subject
Looks like he’s shoes belonged to Charles Dickens.
His shoes look quite normal. What a stupid comment.
He still looks awfully smug
