John Woodvine: Commodore

Quotes 

• [Barnaby is in the local pub asking about the Oblong Foundation] 

  Claire Powell : Well they're pretty harmless, as cults go.

  Josie Palmer : Harmless? Jerry and Carolyn Lambert would be spinning in their graves if they knew what was happening up the Hall - the mind control, psychological manipulation. And then there's the nudity and the orgies and the ritualised flagellations.

  [the Commodore has been eavesdropping] 

  Commodore : Not *all* bad, then!

• Commodore : [about Lucy]  Putting her parents through *hell* like that. Two months, was it?

  Millie Bullard : I think it's got something to do with not being able to come to terms with her sexuality. Punishing them.

  Commodore : Or because they were right about the Obbies. A parent can do almost nothing worse than be right in circumstances like that.
