Am v. v. excited. First there was sexy spy no 1 who went on to play Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Now there is sexy spy no 2 playing Captain Wentworth in Persuasion, my current favourite Jane Austen novel. Well OK the one I've read most recently. And it's on telly tonight.
Now I'm not expecting it to be as good as if the BBC had got their hands on it, after all they would have run it over at least three episodes while ITV is doing one story-squashing episode.
Still it's got Rupert Penry-Jones in it which'll undoubtedly be enough to sustain my interest.
A strict DO NOT DISTURB two hours of my life is about to start.
