And it's...Alex Hassell. He is finally made flesh! Thoughts, O Cooper fans?

Thank you
And the plea is extended to the rest of you lucky lot who are going.

Also on RCB casting I'm rewatching Lost and I think Josh Holloway (who plays Sawyer) was much more of how he would look like in the books:

Probably a bit old now but super hot.

I know he’s not in rivals but don’t you think that Andre Rieu would make a brilliant Rannaldini!

Looking forward to this tomorrow - some excellent reviews. I presume we'll all be wearing Fracas snd dungareees with nothing underneath/ men's shirts for the Southbank event?!

I'll be drenched in Arpege, will slap on some base and make sure I cut my fringe with the kitchen scissors to get the authentic bacon-y smell.
(Don't know how I'll heave my nine and a half stone bulk around while doing that though)
My bosom will be jacked up and my waist will be cinched in and, if there's time, I'll have my hair streaked and set in Medusa-like curls.

I’m also going to the Southbank event. I’ve seen that Alex Hassell and Katherine Parkinson will be part of it too!

I've just listened to the review on 'The Rest is Entertainment' podcast and Marina LOVED it. I'm absurdly excited about it now .
