NO where near handsome enough

Back in the day he scrubbed up well. Sadly having been dead for some years it was never going to happen. He’d also have been late 60s if still alive so would have been too old.

Not keen on some of the casting - RCB just not attractive enough, and Beattie looks nothing like I imagined her.

Lady Hermoine: "So, how long do you spend on a cock, hmm?"

Lady Monica: "uh, well, generally speaking, I can finish one off in 15 minutes or less. But my hands aren't as quick as they used to be"

Lady Hermoine: "No, sure"

Brilliant just brilliant 😂

On episode 2 now , and so happy to see that the cat sick yellow socks are there
I love the soundtrack !
lots of shagging , just like in the book
But , Rupert should be blond ( though I do like this Rupert ) and Taggie is older than in the book , and not quite fragile enough looking

I love it though

Absolutely fucking loving it 😂

TheOnlyAletheia · 18/10/2024 20:20

Wasn’t Beattie Johnson a grubby blonde?

Notonthestairs · 18/10/2024 20:22

Just started. Loved the cigarette smoke on the flight!

Beattie was definitely a grubby blonde in the books.

Quick question because I'm sure someone on MN will know but is The Priory also featured in Poldark? It looks very familiar.

Need to watch as have just seen young Louis Landau at CFT playing Nigel Havers. He's playing DT's son. Worried that the guy playing R C-B looks weirdly waxed and buffed....

Scorchio84 · 18/10/2024 20:32

@mrwalkensir he does look waxy, he just comes across as a bit of a "Ross O'Carroll-Kelly" type but obviously a bit more sophisticated & knowledgeable

ETA the soundtrack is immense

TheOnlyAletheia · 18/10/2024 20:33

Sarah Stratton is perfect 🤩

Hepherlous · 18/10/2024 20:36

Episode 4 and I love the dirt that Declan has on RCB for the interview but doesn't reveal!!! Won't spoil tho.

Andywarholswig · 18/10/2024 20:46

I am LOVING IT. On episode 6 and can’t stop!! Love Danny Dyer and Aidan Turner is definitely doing it for me as Declan - sound track is immense.

SevernWonders · 18/10/2024 20:48

My restraint didn't last long, episode 2 down. David Tennant is absolute perfection as a pantomime villain.

WolfFoxHare · 18/10/2024 20:56

I’m on episode four, it’s so entertaining. DH wandered in halfway through episode two and said ‘What’s this shit?’ then sat down for a minute and is now hooked too!

Yes! Ross’s cousin Francis lived there.

Indianajet · 18/10/2024 21:02

No use - I really don't like Rupert!

Marmite27 · 18/10/2024 21:02

As a subtitles user, I appreciated the hell out of them actually spelling it Daysee Grin

Notonthestairs · 18/10/2024 21:17

"Yes! Ross’s cousin Francis lived there."

Thank you! I knew I'd seen it before!

Only just started episode two but I'm loving it.

mrwalkensir · 18/10/2024 21:23

Rupert is sadly miscast. Loving the 80s pre property madness Cotswolds. Wonder if Aidan T is enjoying that he can actually be a person in this one.

It’s just so bingeable. I can’t stop 🤣

Dame Jilly cameo in episode 5!

itsnotabouthepasta · 18/10/2024 21:34

I’m two episodes in and I love it!!!

absolutely joyful.

mrwalkensir · 18/10/2024 21:44

Pinned it down - Rupert is over-tanned and dyed hair.
