. . . to call Miss Nemesis and squee like 14 year-old girls. I was checking the TWoP forums for Sense & Sensibility when I got sidetracked by their thread for North & South. And I was informed that one Mr. Richard Armitage will be joining the BBC's Spooks. You can read about it here. I am seriously too excited to sleep now. I started watching Spooks ages ago when A&E still ran shows worth watching. Then life got busy and I lost track of it. But I still remember it fondly and it is occupying quite a bit of space on my Netflix queue. It was where I first became aware of Mr. Matthew Macfayden AKA the new Mr. Darcy. Right now Mr. Rupert Penry-Jones (the new Capt. Wentworth) is the lead on the show. And starting soon, our beloved Mr. Thornton will be taking his place amongst the agents of MI-5. If there is anything as dreamy as a gruff, but lovable, literary hero, it is a gruff, but lovable, secret agent. I think I just might spontaneously combust.

This looks to be positively addicting!
OK.. so what do I type in Netflix to find it? spooks doesn't work?? HELP!
Yeah, basically he needs to marry me. Mr. Thorton, ahhhhhh! And secret agent is very sexy, I'm sure he'll do great...and viewership will double.
All I have to say is Yummy! I just need to break down and by North and South. I find myself talking about it when every Jane Austin is mentioned. People just give me a funny look. Then I have to say it's not the Civil War one with Patrick Swayze. Then I have to explain to them about Mr. Thorton and how he is even more lovely then Mr. Darcy. (Deep Sigh!)
By the way.. you make me LAUGH..
and he is so georgous.. I totally understand the combustion factor here!
Heather - Spooks is known as MI-5 in the states. And looking (more) at that picture, does anyone else think he would make an excellent choice to play Old Harry at the end of the HP 7 movies?
Uh, yeah! That would be fantastic! If they ever make it to the end of the movies.
