It has been a personal quest of mine to find that ‘common wayside flower’ for about as long as I have lived (since I first read the ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’- for who has truly lived when they have not) and it has finally happened. I sought the ruddy thing here, I sought the ruddy thing there, was it in heaven? Was it in hell?
No, it was growing in a crack beside the war memorial by the local pleasure garden:

MERLE OBERON in THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL (1934) She was giddy, excitable, in love with the idea of love. She brought poetry to life with her innocent romantic glamour; nobody who knew her went untouched by her or would ever be quite the same after she had gone. - Princess Merle: The Romantic Life of Merle Oberon

Sometimes I think about the garden scene in the scarlet pimpernel and I probably remember it wrong because I read it when I was EIGHT and it CHANGED ME I was eight and having a full aneurysm like THEY'RE IN THE GARDEN and it's NIGHT and they're MARRIED and it's been YEARS and she's too proud to be honest because she's like how DARE he assume she aided in the bloodshed willingly and he's like I thought I loved her and I still do but she had those people killed how could I be open with her ever again so they're both STANDING THERE IN THE GARDEN and it's the most STRAINED CONVERSATION EVER because they're both Yearning SO HARD but neither can be honest and she leaves disappointed AND! HE!
KISSES THE STEP SHE WAS STANDING ON BECAUSE OF A RUSH OF UNCONTROLLABLE EMOTION
Like HELLO??? CHANGED LIVES????

There being like 20 Scarlet Pimpernel adaptations in the 1900s and ZERO in the 2000s is hugely upsetting me. LETS GET SOME NEW ONES COME ON

With costume reuse comes another kind of reuse – fabric. The distinctively colored striped silk fabric has also been used for a costume seen in Return to Cranford and Belgravia. 
This waistcoat has been used in several productions depicting the late 18th century through the 19th century. It first turned up in the 1999 TV series The Scarlet Pimpernel, in both the second and third episode of the first season, where it was worn by Anthony Green as Andrew Ffoulkes. 
From there, it was briefly used in the 2008 sixth episode of the miniseries John Adams, where Zak Orth wore it as James McHenry.
It appeared next in the 2009 miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, where Robert Bathurst wore the waistcoat as the character Mr.Weston. 
Most recently, the piece showed up in the first episode of the 2024 show The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, where Noel Fielding wore it in the title role.
