The mere thought of Mr. Thorton with his piercing stare and stiff collar makes me want to revert to a weak-kneed giggling school girl circa 1999. In fact I am currently having difficulty writing this comment as my mind keeps wandering to the many scenes in North & South where the mere 'hotness' of Mr. Thornton's character almost brought me to tears.
After much debate with my friends , it has been decided that Richard Armitage's performance as Mr. Thornton outstrips (not literally unfortunately) that of Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. The only thing lacking in North & South is the absence of Mr. Thornton emerging from a pond dripping wet in a white shirt and tight breeches.
I agree Michaelie. There is something highly disturbing about an ageing actress intent on looking like a penguin, regardless of her supposed on-screen prowess.
Excellent!! Looking forward to more "dazzling humour and sparkling wit" from my literary friend. Never before have I seen such ingenous use of computer-related puns lol. I'm very impressed!!
