That must have been in July during the recall shots, given the skyline and obvious summer heat. SR was filmed in July/Aug and he appears much chubbier. Now I have no idea why this should intrigue me so! I've been wondering about this too. There was this one picture with him and a fan taken in July after the roof shots and he was indeed looking very slim. So yesterday when I watched South Riding I was a little surprised to see him a little more "rounded". Maybe he's always been filmed with a not so favourable camera angle ;-) or he visited his Mum in Yorkshire and had a few good meals... And I've just found this review of the first episode here Aren't actually most of the actors in South Riding originally from that region? Thought I've read something like that. |

RE: Peter Firth #2
The review appears to have been taken down. I never respond to blogs but I did that one to point out to the sniping writer that PF is infact from Yorkshire, (after his nasty remarks). Having an opinion is one thing, getting your facts wrong just makes you look like a bitch. And there were plenty of other Yorkshire people in it, including Anna M who grew up in Beverley. What an idiot blogger. Bet I wasn't the only one to comment. I fail to see how SR could get such as nasty write up. tut tut!

Hahahaha - yes indeed! I like to think PF knows the difference though. In White Angel he played sexual inadequacy really well (I too thought it was a good film, thanks to him) but then (in my humble opinion) was very, very sexy in Pleasure Principle. Well done loladom for putting the blogger in their place - maybe you encouraged them to remove the offending item. |

It made the scenes hilarious, not necessarily as intended. To me. He was lovely to look at otherwise. :-) Thus let me live, unheard, unknown; Thus unlamented let me dye; Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lye. |

RE: Peter Firth #2
True, wasn't thinking so much of the facial expressions. They were quite funny - but probably quite realistic. You know what men are like!!
I've seen quite a few good reviews of South Riding. The ones that aren't so good seem to be taking issue with the subject matter as much as anything. I have to admit, I do find reviewers an irritating race. They don't really think they're being clever unless they're being a bit disparaging. Dismissing something as "appealing to the Sunday night costume drama brigade" is pretty offensive. Often costume dramas are good because the original writing came from someone with a great deal more literary talent and imagination than your average Sunday night critic! |

Oh thank heavens I'm not alone in not liking (the otherwise gorgeous) PF's in-flagrante facial expression. Thought it reminded me of ... No, never mind I won't go there!

RE: Peter Firth #2
What I wouldn't give for one of these interviews to be done by a true Spooks fan!! These TV pundits always trot out the same questions and never probe enough (for me anyway).

RE: Peter Firth #2
*clicks* Thanks for that!
Haha, "I can tell you nothing" Makes me kind of nervous and happy at the same time, happy that , if he knows nothing about S10 there can be no spoilers yet, and nervous because that means anything could happen, especially when they talk about Harry living through the whole Series Series after Series and killing off characters in each Series I'd be so upset if Harry left or was killed Very good interview...and may I add Peters lookin' pretty good, especially without the South Riding blonde wig (24-02-2011 08:07 PM)Naivety Wrote: What I wouldn't give for one of these interviews to be done by a true Spooks fan!!
