I've just watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga for the third time, and i have to confess that Dan Stevens makes me go weak at the knees ( usually it's low blood sugar ).
I thought he was beyond brilliant in Downton of course, gorgeous in The Guest, loved him in Blithe Spirit, but the sight of him cavorting round to The Lion of Love almost gives me a heart attack !
How can anyone look so tasty ?
I'm also heartbroken because it doesn't appear to be out yet on DVD and i wanted to buy it for myself as a Christmas treat !
Who do you lust over ?

Anyone in a trouser, any man in a trouser, I should say, but there’s something about Prince Charles that I do like …

That has to be a joke surely?

Terence Stamp (Far from the Madding Crowd)
Robert Red Ford (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)
Cillian Murphy

Kiwibird I remember that drama. Imelda Staunton was the neighbour. I really enjoyed it. It was called Flesh and Blood. I’d like to watch it again now you’ve reminded me about it.

I fancied Harold Wilson and Mickhail Gorbachev. Odd.

When I was early teens I was so in love with Lou Christie I kissed his lips off my Jackie poster of him. I saw him singing "Im gonna make you mine" on You Tube the other day what was I thinking!!

I guess I don't lust after anyone since my late husband died, but I can certainly still enjoy looking .... the actor Sam Elliott and his bedroom eyes do it for me. He was super-gorgeous in Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze, and he's still gorgeous now as a silver fox!

I'm wondering if anyone can help. 2 or maybe 3 yrs ago I watched a BBC drama series which I really really want to watch again but can't remember the name. The plot was. A mother and her adult daughters (can't remember if there was a son). Mother is divorced from husband. She lives by the sea. She meets a man and falls for him in a big way. They're planning a wedding but daughters are very suspicious of him, they don't know why. There's 'something' about him. Throw in an old neighbour who's known the girls since birth. Secretly thinks of the family as her own. Extremely possessive of them. Does her best to break up relationship between mother and her new man. A party is held. All on the back deck. Accidently, or maybe not, new man gets punched. Falls over banister to the rocks below. Is he killed? Looks like he's dead. But was that a wink??? And so the series ended. Do you know the name of it? Was there a second series? I think but maybe wrong that actress Nicola Walker was in it.

There are too many people on here after MY James Martin grin
Sam Neill is lovely as is Martin Shaw (in my opinion).

I'm greedy, I want two please!
Alan Rickman and Tom Conti.

And more...... Paul Newman, Alan Alda, Dustin Hoffman.

Oh and how could I forget Simon Baker

Has to log in to claim Douglas Henshall and have always had a liking for Neil Pearson and Laurence Llewelyn Bowen. And if going Hollywood then has to be Robert Downey Jnr

Demis Roussos in my younger day, saw him at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle many years ago but now it’s Giovanni.

Hugh Jackman, he was especially sexy in Eddie the Eagle even though he played a drunk! Also Pierce Brosnan as long as he doesn’t sing and George Clooney. smile

Rosina Wed 17-Nov-21 22:39:12

James Norton
Henry Cavill
Richard Armitage made me quite starry eyed at one point, but I have read several times now that he is gay. Is this true? As he is unobtainable whatever his orientation, does it matter?

Gwenisgreat1 Wed 17-Nov-21 22:30:54

I'lo go for the beautiful eyes and smile of James Martin - mind you I'd love to have a man that can cook anyway!! I reckon he'll do!

hollysteers Wed 17-Nov-21 22:26:40

Ioan Gruffud, Jimmy Flynn.
Not understanding the Prince Charles attraction!
Nice man, but physical lust?

Calistemon Wed 17-Nov-21 22:00:16

How could I forget Dougie Henshall?

For most of my life I adored Syd Barrett, even though that Syd ceased to be when he was still a young man. In recent years, I’ve realised it’s all down the to the voice so it has to be Tom Hardy. And after watching The Terror I kept watching every interview with a Jared Harris I could find. Used to think Johnny Depp was the most beautiful man on the planet till he ceased to be the loyal family man I thought him to be and I went off him instantly.

Lemontart Wed 17-Nov-21 21:21:56

Chris Pratt ?

Sophrosyne Wed 17-Nov-21 21:15:17

Bit late to this party! It used to be Tom Selleck when in his prime in Magnum PI.

But Sam Elliott has stayed the course - that voice! And happily married to the absolutely stunning Katharine Ross (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid).

Oh yes singingnutty Will from The Repair Shop is lovely. I forgot about him. Obviously I'm old enough to be his Nan blush

Ooh, yes, but I wanted him for a son-in-law. Unfortunately, I think he's already spoken for!
