On another thread about hunky stars I noticed a lot of people quite like RF (understatement, wasn't it pistols at dawn for some? grin).

So for those who might be hungering for another dose of his beautiful blue eyes, this program is on Drama at 10pm tonight
It might be on catch up if you miss it.
Enjoy grin

Mea culpa Nansnanny - ‘‘twas me who first confessed my guilty pleasure.....and offered pistols at dawn but no one turned up!

They all moved on to pastures new or awaited my demise but my thirst remains unslaked as does my honour... alas?

Well I cant deny you have taste Pantglas2 Hope you have time to indulge.

He is gorgeous, Pants.
The building they use as the Questura Di Roma is across the road from my favourite Roman market. Everytime I visited the market, I hoped the gorgeous Zen, would come down the steps! Sigh....

I enjoyed Zen the first time round, although not as good as Montalbano. I wish the BBC had tried filming Donna Leon's Guido Brunetti books. I thought Trevor Eve and his lovely wife would have been perfect casting but, sadly, they are too old now.

He is stunningly attractive in this. I mentioned it to DH and he said 'not again'.

Marydoll Thu 18-Nov-21 22:11:45

Deeda, I always pictured Guido as a balding, chunky Italian male!.

Kate1949 Thu 18-Nov-21 23:16:29

Just me then. I can't see the attraction. Mind you, I am seeing the Optician next week.

The books are good too. I have them all on my kindle and read them, apart from the last which I'm saving for a rainy day. Not sure why.

MissAdventure Thu 18-Nov-21 23:29:01

I've just googled and realised I've been thinking it was a totally different person. blush

??? keep him in his toes Bb

Namsnanny Fri 19-Nov-21 12:47:44

Well now that you know who he is, what's your opinion MissA?

Zoejory Fri 19-Nov-21 12:49:00

I always think he's Daniel Day-Lewis

I've just googled My Left Foot and see Rufus is not Daniel at all

Not that keen on him to be honest

Namsnanny Fri 19-Nov-21 12:53:56

Saving for a rainy day..
The times I've done this with books and even the last episode of a tv series.
Then forgotten about itblush.
Which reminds me, I still havent watched the last episode of Tango in Halifax!!
So that's this Sat evenings viewing sorted. Providing g of course I dont forget in the mean time?

Too slim for me.
I like a bit of beef, (and a beard) smile
I'm sure he'll be most upset to hear that he's not my type.

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 15:18:28

Oops, I meant to answer namsnanny smile

Namsnanny Fri 19-Nov-21 20:08:45

Here's an adorable picture for you, MissAdventure Admittedly he has more hair on top than on his chin!

M0nica Fri 19-Nov-21 20:12:03

He was quite a looker when he was young and new, but now just looks ordinary.

That is the sad thing about really good looking men, they go over so quickly.

Namsnanny Fri 19-Nov-21 20:23:59

Ooo I dont know M0nica I always thought Paul Newman look really good for a long time. I presume without any of today's cosmetic help.
I even thought he still had 'It' in the film Perdition.
Perhaps my eyesight is going? smile

Thank heavens we all like/lust after different men, procreation continues. I have never liked overtly masculine men, like Sean Connery and have a fondness for skinny nerdy types?
Cary Grant certainly didn’t “go over”; many men look better as they age and there are a lot of attractive silver foxes about,

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 19-Nov-21 20:35:06

I’ve just remembered Jude Law. Not bad at all.

Namsnanny Fri 19-Nov-21 20:46:24

.......and his ears now I look closely.

What a tasty bit if potty. Could run my fingers through his hair any day
