Harriet, quoting Dana responding to Jenny:
It might be a good idea if you went back into the archive and reread
the
emails between Tavia, Dana, Harriet, Fiona and myself on the subject of
Hal
Mellanby ... but basically what we came up with is that he's a
hypocrite and a
liar.
Include me out--that may be what you came up with, I don't think he's such a bad guy
My recollection was that there was a 3-2 split on the subject. The case against Hal was ingenious, and I regard it as legitimate speculation (cf Dana's interesting suggestion about Gan's woman), but I didn't support it.
I feel my name being taken in vain here. As I recall, I entered the fray merely to suggest that Terry Nation's scripts might be most simply interpreted just as hack writing, rather than the ingenious, enjoyable but in the end rather implausible interpretations put forward predominantly by Fiona.
I don't usually assign moral values to fictional constructs.
