The Knight's Tale - by Geoffrey Chaucer - adapted by the Beeb - starring John Simm, Keeley Hawes, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Bill Patterson.

I'm starting watching it right now. Can you imagine how squeeful the anticipation is getting me? There is not one of those names up there that isn't gettin me fangirly.

In related news, I posted an old Wat/Geoff co-written with shadesofbrixton to the fic_orphanage last night. Go read, and give us feedback!

Heeeee! Chewie and John on screen together! Hugging and just being brilliant actors and I love them! I love them so much! Yes the fangirlitis is back and I can't stop using exclamation marks!

I'm gonna shut up and watch it now. Man I'm seeing slash already. I'm doomed.

Can Life on Mars be on again? I missed John Simm. And his accent. And him. And Chewie. And I said I was shutting up, right? Right.

EDIT: heeeeee! Chewie wants to beat off thinking of Buffy! I kid you not! (His first thought was Angelina Jolie.)

They're both so brilliant and brilliantly atypical romancing types but they just carry it off so sweetly.

If you get the chance to see a mini-series called Sex Traffic with John Simm in it, DO. It's confronting and dark, but so well made and acted, and really well thought out.

It's the first thing I ever saw him in! It aired while I was in the UK. Only later did I see State of Play and then, of course, Life on Mars. (Oh, State of Play was my Jamie revelation! I didn't remember him from Wimbledon, but in State of Play? Oh how I loved him.)

Okay, you have just become my hero! I haven't come across a single person who's seen Sex Traffic other than you. I loved Simm's character in that - actualy quite a similar character to the one he played in State of Play actually - the flawed but compassionate, principled hero.

Look, screencaps!

Hee! I am so hero material on account of my have-sene-brilliant-obscure-british-fictions superpower. The friend that lent me State of Play is crazy about John Simm, and had been ranting about him in SoP, and when I finally saw that my reaction was "that's the guy from Sex Traffic!" That's when she looked at me blankly. The two parts are pretty similar, yeah.

Hee screencaps! I'd forgotten about the glasses.
