This page was a long time in coming...but it is here!

I've always wondered who screens the actors for BBC productions. Because they always have hot guys.

Maybe they're all women.
And they sit there.
Watching.
Pens hovering over paper.

And then...Richard Armitage walks in to audition for the role.

And they're all like, "YEP, YOU'RE HIRED! (*to the side to eachother* Ladies, I think we need a shirtless scene -what do you mean there's no such thing in those times. Wet shirt? Yep, wet shirt...maybe an OPEN COLLAR.)"

And that, ladies, is how we get things such as:
- NORTH AND SOUTH (With that scene where Mr Thornton stares out after her as the carriage leaves, murmuring, 'Look back at me!", willing her to turn around.)
- PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (All the versions. Mr Darcy in an open-neck shirt. Mr Darcy with a top hat. Mr Darcy in breeches. Shall I go on?!)
- And many, many more!

So feel free to post up pics, drool, fangirl and just plain-old obsess over the men who have graced our T.V screens with their majestic brilliance over the years!

Amen to that!

God must've looked down at us poor American girls and decided that British men should come into existence and they should be made of dark chocolate and cinnamon and have the tongue of angels because there is no other way these beauties could possibly be on this earth.

Aaaaaaaaaand the fact I'm on a sugar high has just become known to everyone.
