The remark was applicable to the actor's vocal delivery both on the stage and off. No review relating to Sinden was ever penned without "fruity" appearing somewhere near "voice" in the write. Judi Dench, who played a notable Beatrice to his Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing insaid he had "a Christmas pudding of a voice, soaked in brandy"; while director Peter Hall, who played a huge part in his career, likened it to a bassoon that could be terribly tragic, terribly moving — and extremely entertaining . Physically, too, Sinden was both imposing and endlessly, sometimes outrageously, inventive.Additionally, the original series was rerun on A&E during the mids.
All four series of Two's Company have been released on DVD in the UK, the US, and Australia.
