Should have name changed for this but I'm to lazy, oh the shame Grin

After seeing Mrscampbellblacks nick name on the s&b threads. It reminded me how much I enjoyed her books. Can anyone remember what sequence they follow before I pounce on the second hand book shops.

Was it polo, riders, jump.

Ooo Fish, that photo's convinced me!

Who shall we cast for Taggie?

BerryLellow · 04/05/2012 20:19

Did Lizzie Vereker go off with Freddie?

I don't think Cumberbatch is blond or good looking enough.

Janey was fab too-you'd need someone good to play her.

ReactionaryFish · 04/05/2012 20:21

NOT CUMBERBATCH he looks weird and too clever. R C-B is not cerebral. That's the last thing he is.

SleepyFergus · 04/05/2012 20:22

Another Jilly fan here! Polo is my favourite - Luke and Perdita!!! So lived that live story. Yes they did marry and have little Eddie!!

As for who could play RCB - reckon Jonathan Rhys Meters or Henry Cavill (my absolute lust magnet) could play him. JRM has the arrogance, perhaps Henry would be too nice and he's all mine anyway, I wish

I'm just about to start maternity leave myself so may need to download them all for the kindle and start from the delicious beginning that is Riders....

mycatsaysach · 04/05/2012 20:22

he's a good actor fish - he could play not cerebal and go blond

fussbucket · 04/05/2012 20:23

His character in Warhorse was upper class and thick!

SleepyFergus · 04/05/2012 20:24

Live and lived = love and loved!

ReactionaryFish · 04/05/2012 20:25

Ok I didn't want to say this but I have to be blunt: Cumberbatch mings.
minging is surely a total disqualification from playing R C-B. If there's one thing R C-B does not do, it's ming.

Get0rfMoiLand · 04/05/2012 20:25

Cumberbatch is NOT GOOD LOOKING at all enough for RCB

BerryLellow · 04/05/2012 20:29

Cumberbatch is just not hot

fussbucket · 04/05/2012 20:30

go back and look at mycat's link, he's got the right arrogant smirky look!

letseatgrandma · 04/05/2012 20:31

Yes-he can do arrogant and smirky, but still isn't very good looking!

Get0rfMoiLand · 04/05/2012 20:31

That bloke who played Lucius Malfoy!

mycatsaysach · 04/05/2012 20:32

thanks fuss Smile

ReactionaryFish · 04/05/2012 20:32

I feel bad now. I hope he doesn't read this. poor Cumberbatch. But he isn't handsome and he has a silly name. So he's out.

fussbucket · 04/05/2012 20:34

Just off to check GetOrf's suggestion and see how he's matured.

C'mon, worth considering.....surely?!

And just for the hell of it, and to give me a wee thrill....

fussbucket · 04/05/2012 20:38

Right GetOrf, I think you may have meant Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), who looks like a dork in his recent photo on Wikipedia. The actor playing his dad Lucius is horny but too dark and too old. Start again girls.

ReactionaryFish · 04/05/2012 20:39

that first one you posted is handsome but too young looking, Fergus. R C-B should look like he's been round the block a few times.

fussbucket · 04/05/2012 20:39

Henry Cavill !!!!!!! RCB is cast, let's move on!!!

BiscuitNibbler · 04/05/2012 20:40

On the strength of this thread I've just downloaded Riders to my Kindle. How did I miss these before?

ReactionaryFish · 04/05/2012 20:40

NOOOO he looks like he's made of plastic and he doesn;t look English enough.

fussbucket · 04/05/2012 20:42

Don't care whether he looks English or not, want, want now
