Please tell me I am not alone.

It is specifically the character, not the actor himself {no offence to Peter Capaldi). I like the grumpy sweary man.

no, he is viciously sexy

southeastastra · 14/03/2010 18:57

who?

MarthaFarquhar · 14/03/2010 18:59

YABU
he is clearly overcompensating for something with all that sweary testosterone.

now jamie on the other hand....

Tootiredforgodtyping · 14/03/2010 19:03

no he is in the same league as gene hunt

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2010 19:03

astra, the spin doctor from In The Loop.

'viciously sexy' - spot on!

Jamie is too short for me. I am a tall bird, but yes, I can see his appeal.

No, as the general in In The Loop says, he does kind of look like a squeezed cock. I actually quite like Tom Hollander, even though he is only an inch shorter than me

NomDePlume · 14/03/2010 19:08

I bloody love The Thick of It. Didn't like In The Loop that much though, thought it was a bit disappointing

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2010 19:14

Oh, love The Thick of It and In The Loop.

DH and I re-watched the latter last night.
Then I had Dreams. (am pg, in mitigation)

Gene HUnt doesn't do it for me, though again I can see the appeal. I think MT conforms a bit to my type - tallish, thin, Scottish and cross, like DH.
Brahms, Tom Hollander is lovely, yes, but would fit in my pocket.

tom thingybob too short and camp for my tastes

BrahmsThirdRacket · 14/03/2010 19:41

wait I meant an inch taller than me.

I still think he's scrummy, and he's a really good actor. He was Simon Foster (dippy minister) in In The Loop but Cal Richards (Tory spin doctor, like Tucker but x1000) in The Thick of It - 'Stop saying Abingdon to me, I want a fucking chocolate biscuit'.

lukewarmcupoftea · 14/03/2010 19:48

OMG. YA definitely BU. The man is grey fgs.

Gene Hunt, on the other hand, yes I can see that. Although DD2 has a bit of the Gene Hunt about her, so maybe not.

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2010 19:57

Yes, BarryKent! Absolutely. Fab name btw.

GLad I am far from alone here!

Malcolm Tucker? Are you having a fucking laugh! YANBU

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2010 20:38

Yes, Brahms, he is , isn't he?

I'd love to be his PA for a day.

YANBU

I also love love love Chris Addison, he is very sexy in a geeky but incredibly funny kinda way.

mrsruffallo · 14/03/2010 20:44

I like the other one, the young one with glasses..don't know his name

waitingforglasto · 14/03/2010 20:48

YANBU.

Absolutely though I dont like what this says about me and my attitude to men [has stern word with herself]

BrahmsThirdRacket · 14/03/2010 20:49

Did you know Chris Addison, aka Toby aka Olly is 38????

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2010 20:51

Chris Addison is lovely too, yes.

Now waitingforglasto, I feel a bit like that too - what does it say about my taste in men - but I think like Barry sayd, he seems like he'd be quite gallant in the main. DH is a big softie at home, but scary at work. Tis a winning combo!

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2010 20:52

I know Brahms! And he has children, so no right to look that youthful.
