Vexed to be shown in Belgium and NZ

Congratulations to Belgium and New Zealand!

Came across this - yay for Google Alerts! :)

DRG have confirmed that leading broadcasters TVNZ in New Zealand and VRT in Belgium have both acquired DRG's new primetime drama.

VRT And TVNZ Secure DRG's New Drama 'Vexed' - UK Film and Television News

Although my alert is for Jane Eyre, it came up because the article mentioned the previous productions of Mr. Stephens.

    Thanks for the post! I'll be forwarding this to my sister who is equally a fan of Jane Eyre and therefore Toby Stephens. Timothy Dalton also factor's in her Mr.Rochester equation. She's the one to blame for my turn into RAland sometime this time last year. For posterity's sake I'll pick RA's birthday when I watched N&S for the first time!

    Funny how there seems to be a lot of us who only really "discovered" Toby Stephens through Jane Eyre! Not like most of us hadn't seen him in anything before that point! (On a post-JE epiphany re-watch of Severance, I have to admit I enjoyed TS's character a lot more than I did when I first saw it in the cinema. All of a sudden, the character seemed to ooze appeal. For some mysterious reason! ;))

    Timothy Dalton was a good Rochester as well. And RA - him as Mr. Rochester ... ... ... "squeeeee" just doesn't cut it!

    I know RA would be a total THUD factor as Mr.Rochester!
    I think I saw TS in the Tenant of Wildfell Hall for the first time, liked him for sure. Saw him in Sharpe's Challenge of course. But those were the days before i became a fangirl...

    Ah, I only saw Sharpe's Challenge after becoming a TS fangirl, so I was pre-disposed to swooning! ;)

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

The Quest to read everything Jane Eyre

...before they go as mad as the secret wife in the attic? I aim to find out! :) This is where it all began. Okay, I don't mean I aim to read Jane Eyre prequels, sequels, spin-offs and inspired bys/based ons until I actually go insane, more like, how many can I manage to read before I get thoroughly fed up with the whole thing. Here's the cunning plan ... (updated 13 December 2012)

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why
