To ask who you'd choose if you were ordered by royal decree to have a torrid affair?

Risk of being thrown in the Tower/put in the stocks and all that malarkey if you refuse.

Today I think I'd go for Ralph Fiennes. Look how pretty he is. Yes he's all tortured and angsty and probably ponders endlessly on his 'craft' (yawwwn) but he's just so alluring.

No doubt he'd be a tad high maintenance in the long run but for an enforced torrid affair I think he'd do very nicely indeed. Plus he's probably into all manner of eye popping sexual shenanigans. And let's face it, what's the point of a torrid affair without some eye poppery. Am I right?

Thanks Sparkling. I enjoyed your DD Simon Le Bon thread but didn't post because you all sounded so much younger than me and Simon's only a year older.

This guy from Farm Kings. When I see him something twangs inside.

I'd like more twanging please. Much twanging.

Since we aren't allowed to just leach, which I appreciate as someone who objects to objectification... Can I just vote for the political and intelligent . Also, those eyes...

bingandflop · 28/10/2015 14:05

Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman)

As someone else has already bagged the divine Mr Capaldi, I'm going to go for Laurence Rickard from Horrible Histories. The Funny gets me every time. And he is sporting a very lovely beard at the moment. Mmmm...

Whereyourtreasureis
raspberryoverload you beat me to Richard Z K !! I also have Download tickets...last one to the signing tent wins torrid antics I guess? I will win

If it was today, you'd win the race...my hip's gone. Grin But I've not been to download before so didn't realise there's a signing tent.

Meanwhile, I woke up this morning having had a filthy dream about Shannon Leto. I'm blaming you lot Grin

elsaglittereverybloodywhere · 28/10/2015 14:11

Very serious looking, Larry!

I had an utterly filthy dream about Rupert Penry Jones once, after watching Whitechapel Confused

If we're going to redress the gender balance issue, then I pick Katie Derham. She's beautiful but it's the voice that does it.

expatinscotland · 28/10/2015 14:17

How could I have left out Rufus Sewell and Jason Isaacs? After I'm done with Daniel Craig and David Bowie.

fuzzpig · 28/10/2015 14:19

Jason's quite easy on the eye but I can't help picturing him with the sneer (and hair) of Lucius Malfoy. Rather off putting

Bigoldsupermoon0 · 28/10/2015 14:22

Fuzzpig Could definitely be worse!

murphys · 28/10/2015 14:25

Am I the only one who thinks that Clive Owen is a bit of alright then.... Wink.... yay its only me, he is all mine then Grin

I don't know how to add a pic in even after my previous post of my whining about everyone else not doing it Shock

WhatTimeIsItCuckoo · 28/10/2015 14:39

That's a scary pic evenolder! Drac would have to be young and have hat, ringlets and shades for me, though he'd be allowed to take his hat and shades off of course - well maybe.... Seeing as our tastes seem similar what do you think to the young Christopher Walken from The Deerhunter? Didn't say you could have him though, just curious .

Don't think anyone's mentioned the sexy, brooding devil from Broadchurch (second series) yet? James D'Arcy? Yum!

fuzzpig · 28/10/2015 14:42

Just for you murphys (assuming that is the right person)

WhatTimeIsItCuckoo · 28/10/2015 14:42

murphys Clive Owen literally popped into my head as soon as I'd done my last post! He was very rude in Closer. I know I'm getting greedy and carried away though so I concede that maybe you should have him (said through gritted teeth).

WhatTimeIsItCuckoo · 28/10/2015 14:45

Oooo now I've seen that pic I take back that generous offer. I don't care that I'm greedy, soz murphys.

fuzzpig · 28/10/2015 14:45

Oh yes, Lee (in Broadchurch) was a bit filthy wasn't he. None of that loving sensitive stuff, just rough :o

fuzzpig · 28/10/2015 14:46

Oh, Closer is that the film with Julia Roberts? I quite liked that.

WhatTimeIsItCuckoo · 28/10/2015 14:49

Yes that's the one fuzzpig and thanks for the pic! Oh and before I go, Ben Chaplin anyone? Posh and rather yum...

NeverGoOutOfStyle · 28/10/2015 15:03

Oooh I think for me its a bit of a tie, I would accept Charlie Hunnam, Alexander Skarsgard or Michiel Huisman. Or all of them. Yes, all of them.

murphys · 28/10/2015 15:08

I did quite fancy Jake Gyllenhaal, well that was up until he opened his mouth on the Graham Norton show..... put me right off him, he was a bit of a chop really.....

Oh my gosh. How did I forget about Hugh Jackman!! Cor he is just yummy.....

murphys · 28/10/2015 15:09

Someone tell me how to post these lovely pictures please so I can ooh and aah a bit more....

fuzzpig · 28/10/2015 15:13

You need to save the pic on your computer first (right click usually brings up the option)

then on MN below the message box there should be three spaces with a 'browse' button next to them. Press the top button and you should get the open file window, so you can find the relevant file. Double click the file name and it will upload when you post the message.

And then delete the file from your computer if you wish Wink

Sorry that was a rubbish explanation. Clearly my articulation skills are far below my 'drooling over lustful tv characters' skills
