...to fancy the bloke playing Richard in the White Queen?

Yes I know he looks like Edward Scissorhands, but my goodness I would, given half a chance. Perhaps he appeals to my inner goth, I dunno. Am I alone on this one?

I would SO do him. He looks trainable, yet a bit dirty.

I suppose YANBU but have to say George did it more for me. Thanks for the Edward Scissorhands comment though, have been trying to place who he reminded me of.

I'm torn between being a little creeped out by him and wanting to run my fingers through his luscious locks Grin

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 11/08/2013 22:36

I'd like to get my hands on him, wash his hair and dress him up all 'new romantic' like! Grin

Yes that whole languishing in bed scene wasn't a good look. But he's got a messy hair, dark looks thing going on that I think I'm hardwired to respond to. Not that you'd think that if you saw DH however Grin

YABU - you're welcome to him.

The bloke who played Edward IV was lovely though.

Tiredemma · 11/08/2013 22:41

I'm lusting after him too.

Sheesh, no thanks to the bloke playing Edward, you are welcome to him lime, though at least he was kind enough to get his kit off at regular intervals for you, eh? The guy playing George was a bit pretty for my tastes, I like 'em grubby. Think he was in Pillars of the Earth playing someone similarly mean, if memory serves...

You're right. He had far too many clothes on! Grin

He reminds me of Richard Hammond.

BadSpeakingSkills · 11/08/2013 22:58

YANBU - I wouldn't say no Grin

encyclogirl · 11/08/2013 22:59

He's completely beautiful, and the voice...

TylerHopkins · 11/08/2013 23:00

He's not my usual type but even I found myself having lusty thoughts at one point!

Elsiequadrille · 11/08/2013 23:01

He does look like Edward Scissorhands, I knew there was something oddly familiar about him Grin

I too mch preferred Edward IV.

ethelb · 11/08/2013 23:01

He is tasty.

Elsiequadrille · 11/08/2013 23:01

Damning him with faint praise there Tyler!

Oops, sorry Ethel, that 'much' was to myself, correcting a typo.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 11/08/2013 23:06

YADNBU

woof!

helenthemadex · 11/08/2013 23:11

he would be welcome to rip my bodice Grin

I fancy we'll see a bit more of Richard derobed in next weeks episode, if the fairly inappropriate comments on keeping Princess Eliz close were anything to go by... Now to google him and find out what his actual name is, and how ridiculously young he probably is...

TylerHopkins · 11/08/2013 23:13

Oh no, he's only 26. I'm a dirty old pervert.
