To think Rupert Penry Jones is the obvious choice for a Lady Mary Shagathon and wondering why the smeg they haven't hired him

[LaurieFairyCake]

He's soooooo massively the obvious choice!

What - is he too famous from Silk and Charlotte Grey - too much of a massive movie star?!?

[TheCraicDealer]

I could do very bad things to that man. I bet he's pretty vanilla though. Not like Richard Armitage.

Hold on- Armitage as a sexy gardener....I'm too good at this shit.

[FrenchRuby]

I loooooove him. He's awesome in Whitechapel.

[GibberTheMonkey]

I wouldn't complain

[Deathbyladybirds]

I wholeheartedly agree. Oi, Julian!

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

He is too accomplished an actor. Mary needs someone as wooden as her.

[LaurieFairyCake]

I'm watching Whitechapel on delay

Even his OCD is tasty in it

[NoelHeadbands]

Oh those cheekbones though...

You know what they say...sculpted cheekbones- good with cock

[NoelHeadbands]

Well, by 'they' I mean 'me'

[AndHarry]

I would love a face-off between a Richard Armitage aristo and an RPJ gardener (rugged look good). Yes please.

[Fleta]

They need to bring back Iain Glen. Delectable!

[HorryIsUpduffed]

Craic - fuck off. With that profile he's OBVIOUSLY an aristocrat.

Also I expect too bloody expensive nowadays...

[liquidstate]

I would rather they got their end away with Edith. I hate Mary!

[fridayfreedom]

Hmmm, Richard armitage??? Yes please!
Rupert opened a local village fete a few years ago and he buys meat at my local farm shop, haven't seen him there yet!

[HorryIsUpduffed]

Lady Mary is surely going to have a year or so in mourning and not actively looking for a new man. I'd forgotten that the new heir to the estate is called Prince George

It's definitely Lady Edith's turn for a waltz or six with Richard Armitage a dashing man. She goes for the older man, doesn't she? and she deserves a tasty one.

[LaurieFairyCake]

I've seen the clip of the new series

She's getting shafted like a good un before the end of the first episode

[TheCraicDealer]

But Richard needs to keep his lovely accent! You can't do that with an aristo. Unless of course he's illegitimate....Julian, you can PM me.

I may have to re-watch North & South again and fast forward all the bits where Margaret's being a moany bitch.

RPJ is still an acceptable fall back [dusts off Persuasion DVD]

[TheSmallPrint]

I don't know who Lady Mary is but I would be happy to see RPJ in anything. I would rather see Richard Armitage but fear we will never see him on tv again now that he is a film star . Some of my most lustful happiest moments were with them both in Spooks.

[PostmanPatAlwaysRingsTwice]

Yes to RPJ. And speaking of RA, I've just found this picture and it's doing funny things to me.

[TheSmallPrint]

Yes Postman, that picture and most of RA do funny things to me too!

[Ezio]

I can never forgive a man who said Harry Potter was crap, no matter how good looking he is.

[diddl]

I agree with the other Mary hater!

I think she's got three suitors this series?

Really-why?

So that they can live with her & Mummy & Daddy at Downton??!!

Hoping that Lord G pops off &they can be pretending "Lord of the Manor" until George is old enough?

[mrsrupertpenryjones]

mmmmmmm

[PassTheTwiglets]

Rupert PJ? Richard Armitage? Well, it's like this thread was made for me :o Love, love, LOVE Rupes. But only hormonally-speaking. The man cannot act. Sorry but he just can't (did love him in Casanova though).

. Skip to 4.43. Oh man.

[AndHarry]

The first three Harry Potter films were pretty bad TBF.
