Due South

[Tonyblack]

I just watched an old episode of Due South and have been pondering whether Benton Fraser was in any way inspired by Captain Carrot.

I think they have a lot in common - including a half wolf.

What do you think?

So true.... thats funny

Interesting, they do share lots of characteristics, although, I've only seen half an episode at the most.

Not sure about inspired by, but they definitely have a great deal in common. I think Due South is an excellent series (especially the final two seasons).

He even went to live in a very rough area of Chicago - a bit like The Shades.

 

[Jack Remillard]

True.

I love the almost word for word repetition of his back-story to people who may be interested in what a Mountie is doing in Chicago -

"I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father and, for reasons which don't need exploring at this juncture, I have remained, attached as liaison to the Canadian consulate."

Aw I use to love that show! Good times. x

Great series. I never considered it before but there are a lot of similarities in their personalities. Maybe someone can ask Sir Terry at one of the conventions?
