It's Joseph Lee's accent I fall hard for!

And agreed about Huntingdon - but to be fair there are a lot of hot bastards in Rupert's back catalogue that I wouldn't kick out of bed but I definitely wouldn't see as marriage material! (see icon!)

He'd probably be happy to know that most of his characters are not safe enough to be marriage material! I mean, I love Alec Pickman from "Falling Darkness" but noooo way am I marrying him!

Mordechai came across as a very well educated, thoughtful man - I could see long evenings of engaged discussion with him which would be lovely.

I went with Freddy because he can play piano, he's got a funny playful nature, and as an only son, he's going to inherit a large and beautiful house eventually.

Cunning - just make sure he doesn't sell it when his career as a doctor doesn't take off ;)
