One of my favourite books, loved 70/80's series with Richard Chamberlain and Mariko

Hoping the new one isnt a let down

Ahhh, James Clavell. Shogun is one of my favourite books. In my top five.

The Richard Chamberlain series was well made and pretty true to the book but as with all screen adaptations a lot of the sub plots/threads are lost. It was good though, but I suspect looks very dated now.

Fine book. Long. Very long.

Have read it twice and have some others of his on the shelf, yet to be opened...

Yes that one does look dated

I’m into the 2nd episode and I will admit impressed. It’s paced a little slower and pretty much follows the book

No only qualm is I prefer the original Lady Mariko

The 1980s Mariko was played by the lovely Shimada Yoko. According to IMDB she sadly died in 2022. RIP

As a younger teenager those James Clavell books had some quite fruity scenes in them.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

I’m not realised she’d died, very lovely lady and played Mariko so very well
