State of Play

[starrylizard]

No one is online for me to squee to, so I'm afraid LJ gets it.

How had I never even heard of this show until I saw it in JB-HiFi yesterday? First ep and I'm riveted. It's like all these little threads of seemingly unrelated mystery coming together into some big old conspiracy. Hopefully it'll keep up the pace.

Also John Simm is gorgeously scruffy and Philip Glenister is all clean cut DI. *squee* :)

British TV owns me at the moment. All these great shows I never knew about or have only managed to see bits of and now I can watch them all. It's like wandering into a video store and finding you've seen almost none of the titles and tehy're all fresh and new. I used to watch much more on the ABC - before the place I moved into had almost no reception for it. The power of the internet has reconnected me. :)

Hee... I don't want spoil you for which character he plays in State of Play but I think appears in the latter half.

ah ok. Perhaps that's why I'm not sure who you mean. I usually connect names when I see people's faces.
Though, even the minister-dude who was sleeping with the dead chick (um, phrased that badly, but ya know what I mean) looks familiar. I'll look up the actors tomorrow. :)

I was going to link a page with James McAvoy but then I thought you couldnt load the page. But he was the lead on "Becoming Jane" with Anne Hathaway and also going to be in "Atonement" with Keira Knightly.

I forgot Danny was in it! Haha.. he really suits playing dodgy characters!

Ya know, you guys keep telling me about Becoming Jane, but I still haven't seen it. I'll look him up on IMDB today at work.

Looks like he has a fangirl club right here in my LJ. :P
