Your photo of Brendan caught my eye! Here is a young Julian - he's the one on the left in green. :) http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxbsuyLuZc1r65of0o1_1280.jpg Stephanie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634135606906367086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-90243673767492850692012-01-17T12:35:37.325-05:002012-01-17T12:35:37.325-05:00@Anonymous- I just found out yesterday that Elizab...@Anonymous- I just found out yesterday that Elizabeth McGovern was once engaged to Sean Penn! So glad she got out of that relationship and moved to England. I'll have to find Lovesick. Sounds cute. And Anna and Bates are truly classy.

I highly recommend it. <br />But once again I started watching something for one actor (Elizabeth) and ended up falling for some other aspect. Anna and Bates stole the whole show, IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-49656911305453521732011-09-23T17:19:42.581-04:002011-09-23T17:19:42.581-04:00Brendan Coyle is a hunk.

She has done a lot of period drama!<br /><br />@Mary Ellen- I'm going to surprise you by telling you that Brendan Coyle is only 47 and Joanne Froggat is 32! I agree that he looks older than 47 (he is my age and I hope I'm aging better!) and she looks younger than her 32 years. I am more of a Richard Armitage lady than a Brendan Coyle fan but he certainly has a following! (I enjoy his acting however)<br /><br />I have never seen Dinner Ladies so I will have to check that out. It is really time for me to get a region free DVD player so I can order some region 2 DVDs!Jenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-20185096865885379822011-09-22T11:02:44.432-04:002011-09-22T11:02:44.432-04:00Big fun!

As for Mr Bates, I don't see the attraction then or now, but at least I can see a little more of it in the *then* picture. <br /><br />I can't tell what age Anna and Mr Bates are meant to be, but he looks old enough that he could *almost* be her grandfather. She seemed to take to him immediately, even though he's a man of few words and all he revealed of himself to begin with was integrity despite a limp. So while I'm happy for them and hope their path will be smooth (which of course it won't, will it, Mr Fellowes?), I find it hard to buy them as a couple.<br /><br />I first saw Joanne Froggatt in Dinnerladies, which is one of my favorite comedy series of all time. There are only two seasons, and only the first one is on DVD, but if you can see it, I'd recommend it. I think Joanne Froggatt is in the pilot; it's a minor role and only one episode.<br /><br />But she's one of those people who sticks in your mind. At our house, we tend to remember them by the first role we saw them in, so we spot Froggatt in other shows and say "There's Sigourney!", Sigourney being the schoolgirl who came to the factory canteen, the situation in the Dinnerladies sitcom, for a day of 'work experience'.<br /><br />OH, and I would never in a million years guessed it was Jim Carter under that moustache!mefoleyhttp://mefoley.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-81156298163346515232011-09-22T01:15:14.045-04:002011-09-22T01:15:14.045-04:00Oh that was so very much fun.

I had to buy the whole thing last year. So much fun! I so did not realize that was Hugh Bonneville - oh my. Penelope Wilton is absolutely gorgeous in that photo. And I love Brendan in pretty much anything he's in. North and South and Larkrise to Candleford especially. suzanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
