It doesn't matter what you are drinking as long as it looks ok. Evian bottle is therefore fine!

cupcakesandbunting · 18/10/2010 10:02

If I empty cranberry juice into it, the one-a-day goodness surely cancels out the impact of being drunk before midday? Grin

Be careful not to damage your typing finesse

Thank you, theresaholeinyourmind. I don't think I'll be clicking on the 'add to basket' button any time soon - I fear the best thing about the book is the pre-Raphaelite cover.

William Blake, on the other hand ...

Theresaholeinyourmind · 18/10/2010 10:20

I sort of thought it looked as if it ought to have been called Sweet Savage Gisborne myself, Flowers.

Just went on to twitter to stalk Lucas North only to find its over capacity Shock what are you doing to him???

MrsLucasNorth · 18/10/2010 12:22

Lucas went 'off grid' a couple of hours ago so you haven't missed much Maud!

Been on youtube on a trail from one video to another and looking at the spooks clips, I feel like I have actually missed out on a good programme. The only episodes I have ever watched are the very first and then this series now.
How have I missed it?

MaudOHara · 18/10/2010 13:29

Thats how I feel about missing out on the artistry that is his portrayal of Guy of Gis, Mrs RA

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 18/10/2010 13:41

Speaking of artistry, did anyone watch him as Monet in The Impressionists? Now, I like a Victorian painting as much as I like a Victorian novel, but the youtube clips make it look like a heap of old tosh. Or am I being too harsh here?

cornishpasty · 18/10/2010 13:52

The Impressionists is fantastic.
RA as usual is outstanding - even with the horrible beard.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 18/10/2010 14:04

OK. Back to Amazon it is then.

MrsRichardArmitage · 18/10/2010 21:01

Ah, made it in time to watch it live.

MaudOHara · 18/10/2010 23:50

Am I the only person left pondering after tonight?

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 18/10/2010 23:56

Hmm. Top marks to MrsLN who speculated earlier that Laila would turn out to be, cough, intimate with Vaughn too.

I can't bear the suspense. What a pity that they no longer offer the option of watching the next week's episode on BBC3 immediately afterwards.

MaudOHara · 19/10/2010 11:14

It is a pity - it gave me the chance to watch it twice Wink

Theresaholeinyourmind · 19/10/2010 12:48

I quite like of that poem too, Flowers

MrsLucasNorth · 19/10/2010 12:53

If you type in 'RA Yours' (into YouTube) - you get him doing a code poem from WW2 with scenes from North & South - is v. lovely (and also the poem I am probably going to be reading at best mates wedding next month!) Grin

Theresaholeinyourmind · 19/10/2010 13:13

Calling all the N&S fans, you musn't miss
if you want intellectual, this is for you.
Don't forget part 2, it's a must.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 19/10/2010 15:12

Ah, theresaholeinyour mind, I deliberately avoided the versions with background music as I wanted to concentrate on his mellifluous voice the meaning of the poetry.

I have seen that interview on the dvd extras, but it's a bit disappointing to see him in his own clothes rather than floppy-sleeved shirt, cravat and frock coat. But he is (naturally) quite right about the 'look back at me' scene.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 19/10/2010 15:20

Well, I only had the freebie N&S given away by the Daily Wail a year or so back. Such lese majeste. Didn't have posh things like extras on that.
I expect you have read this intellectual morsel too.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 19/10/2010 16:09

The Daily Wail gave away N&S?

I hadn't read the Vulpes Libris interview. Very interesting (assuming the answers were really his and not his agent's). I too have read Crime and Punishment, so we are clearly kindred spirits. Arf.
