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?!?

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.

I loooooove him. He's awesome in Whitechapel.

I wouldn't complain

I wholeheartedly agree. Oi, Julian!

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

I'm watching Whitechapel on delay

Even his OCD is tasty in it

Oh those cheekbones though...

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

Well, by 'they' I mean 'me'

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

They need to bring back Iain Glen. Delectable!

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

Also I expect too bloody expensive nowadays...

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

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!

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.

I've seen the clip of the new series

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

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]

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.

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

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

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

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?

mmmmmmm

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.

The first three Harry Potter films were pretty bad TBF.
