Not " classically" good looking, but attractive nevertheless.

Michael Kitchen,yes very attractive,

I've always liked the sort of woman that the French describe as jolie-laide - she's perhaps ugly if you take her feature by feature, but oh boy! The overall effect is stunning. The idea has been stretched beyond all belief by Vogue, where they take reasonably acceptable woman and make them look like hell on wheels...

Zoe Wanamaker? Magnetic! Alex Kingston? Wow!

I can'tt help but think it funny that Alan Rickman has everybody here breathing heavily when I think of his fist major TV rôle. as the egregious Rev Obadiah Slope in The Barchester Chronicles - he was quite wonderful - and wonderfully repellent!

Can I add Michael Kitchen and Roger Allam (he has a lovely lived-in face) to my list?

I used to think that William Conrad, who played Frank Cannon all those years ago, was lovely, despite being quite tubby, and not over tall.

If we are going to mention late men how about William Powell or was he considered handsome?

I do like John Humphries smile, and for sheer lust Denzil Washington please

I would agree with most of those named above (not Gordon Ramsey).

I do think that an 'odd quirkiness' in looks is very attractive.

I like man looks - not overworked handsomeness (is that a word ??)

Gordon Ramsey attractive ?,? Have you something wrong with your eyes?

She was a character, wasn't she?

Alan Rickman or Patrick Stewart would do for me, both got lovely voices. I was always a big fan of the late Rosalie Crutchley, although I think it was the voice again that did it for me.

I think Kevin Spacey is attractive but recently found out he wouldn't think I was.

You ladies know im a Martin Clunes fan.

Ooh yes, I'd forgotten Stellan Skarsgard!

Stellan Skarsgard; Kevin Spacey; and oddly, Toby Jones!

Ann Marie Duff; Laura Kuensberg; Nicola Walker.

Patrick Stewart.... end of!

Zoe Wanamaker yes; Barbara Streisand never. Emma Thompson certainly.

Barbera Streisand .Not a classic beauty but has that something. Doesn't ring my bell but just saying.

Definitely Glennister, it's the masculine thing I think.

Gabriel Byrne, now your talking.

I was watching a programme recently about operatic tenors and the presenter showed clips of the late Dietrich Fischer-Diskau. They were the same clips that I used to thrill to as an impressionable 16 year old. Almost unconsciously I found myself leaning towards the television absolutely drawn in, but whether, then as now, I was more beguiled by the voice or the looks I am not sure.

Mark Rylance. So wanted to see him in London but didn't manage to get there.

Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy as well

Oh, he is, KatyK...till he opens that big gob

roses My DH says Zoe Wanamaker is strange looking but he finds her attractive. Now where did I put my tin hat .......I think Russell Brand is attractive.

I didn't realise that I'd have to fight quite so many people for Alan Rickman. I'm 9 years younger, starbird, so fancy my chances

Just googled Alan Rickman as didn't know the name, yes he can go on my list! Born the same year as me which means he would be looking at someone 10-20 years younger!

Alan Rickman - yes please.

I think if a man has an attractive voice, smiles readily and has a GOS he doesn't need to be classically handsome - that's what I tell DH anyway- we cant both be stunning!

Agree about Alan Rickman and Bill Nighy - but Benedict Cumberbatch...? No thanks!
