RT mention

Just seen this in Radio Times.Sandi Toksvig says that CSI:Miami is her favourite CSI.
'I love the Florida one not least because only rich people seem to get killed,but also because it stars a character called Lieutenant Horatio Caine played by David Caruso.Mr Caruso is brilliant.He has refined his acting skills down to a simple dependency on sunglasses.Take them off and he is moved by the death of a child;put them on and a killer out there is as good as caught.He is so adept that someone should consider adding "character portrayal through the medium of Ray-Ban" to every drama-school curriculum.'



I realise this sounds a little sarcastic but that is Toksvig's style and I think she is paying a genuine compliment.

That's a great read, Mandy. Thanks a lot for posting.

Thanks for this, Mandy. It is not too often that we get reviews about "Miami" from another country. Where Mr. Caruso's acting style is concerned, I have been saying for quite awhile, he comes from the "less is more" school of acting. Nice read.

I see what you are saying Margaret but I have never seen Sandi Toksvig as a cruel or negative kind of comedian.She is trying to write a witty and entertaining column here and so is playing for laughs but I found the piece quite gentle.Very different from a comment also in RT some time back from David Mitchell saying he hated David Caruso.particularly singling out his voice.This was in a column supposedly about the contributor's TV watching preferences.This is a bit rich from a man whose own voice is repellantly sneery-He is a big fan of CSI:Las Vegas and seems to be of the anti spin-off school.
Sorry to go off on a bit of a rant there.
Love Mandy

Mandy.......sorry I was just basing my thoughts on her comments here.......Have to confess I have as far as I know never seen Sandi Toksvig or read anything she has said before. I don't read the Radio Times these days but from what you say I would hate David Mitchell. If he loves Las Vegas that says it all......I don't like Las Vegas. No need to apologise for ranting....I have my moments. And I love David Caruso's voice as all of us do on here.
