I also had Pendennis Castle in mind, but I think that dates back to Henry VIII.

 Not at all.

  As most days I sit at the computer to visit POE with my back to the television. Usually it is just background or one of the U.S. custom car make over shows but the other night the inspiration for this quizzy came from Timothy West. Given it away now I guess.
