I’ve sold my soul.
Posted by Teresa (Chrissy) | Filed under Fansquee
I have been a passing admirer of Rupert Penry-Jones since he joined the Spooks (known as MI-5 to us Americans) team, but my heart had always belonged to Tom Quinn (Matthew MacFadyen) rather than Adam Carter (Rupert’s character).
However, when Katie recommended that I watch the new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion starring Rupert as Capt. Wentworth, I found a new devil to pawn my soul to.
Seriously … Darcy who?
Persuasion has more than renewed my interest in MI-5 and now I will spend my Thursday nights at 9pm, planted in front of the telly, watching this fine piece of molecular art do his thing on PBS.
Also, I may or may not be basing a character in my new book on him ;) Oh come on, he make the perfect 1916 British soldier … would he not? Of course, I’ll be working on the sequel to my ‘09 NaNoWriMo book before I begin the historical drama/romance I’m planning.
Now, off for dinner and some movies.
