In fact that Foundation LP I remember owning was not from the BBC production

It featured an entirely different, although also well known, voice actor.

Good grief. I had no idea. I have seen him in the Esperanto film though (he pronounces it as though it is French, but does at least look like he learnt his lines, unlike the other actors).

Shatner's pronunciation in Incubus wavered from French to Italian to Spanish, at least I thought so. I also thought Ann Atmar looked as though she knew her lines and gave a solid performance; she sadly killed herself not long after filming.

I did think he was awfully charismatic in Incubus; I may have only understood the subtitles but I kept paying attention to him. (Granted, there wasn't much competition from the other actors, but the cinematography of the thing, at least on the print TCM aired, was compellingly odd --- just, off, in every way --- and the pattern of light and shade itself compelling.)

I was surprised at how good and charismatic an actor he was in it.

Exactly, it's all just a few degrees off center in difficult to define ways. My theory is that this was a film made by people wanting to do an arthouse flick but who had no idea what actually constituted an arthouse flick. It's intriguing, either way.
