I'd just chosen a copy of "Any Human Heart" that didn't have the TV cast on the front, saying to my daughter that I didn't like having TV or film casts on the covers in case it looked like I only read books if I'd liked the film (snobby, I know). I then spotted South Riding with PF on the back. Had to wait until my daughter had left the shop before I bought it. Blush

That is so funny! I would have been just the same.

And I so agree. Peter Firth is far sexier now than he was when he was younger.

Lol, I am Yorkshire born and bread, however just like PF I left aged 18 and gingerly return to visit.(Sadly not during the filming of SR which came quite close to my old stomping ground.) I do often fear getting out alive, but that is more due to family, than the regionAngel

I love the pic Tea Lady, thanks for posting. The fact that PF is so middle and centre gives me hope he has developed the part into a substantial role. (More than the book??) All of the characters remind me so much of family pics of a bygone era. Winifred Holtby is somewhat of a heroine for me thanks to my schooling, so I'm really looking forward to this drama.

And yes, Peter certainly seems to have become more appealing as he's aged (even though I am considerably younger than him, I see it and I feel it)Blush

I haven't read the book yet and I think I will wait now. Yes I agree loladom, the fact he is centre stage in the pic, makes me think this is a fairly decent role for him. Fingers crossed. We can but hope. Smile

RE: Peter Firth
He looks nice and slim in this photo. A similar one was in the Radio Times a couple of weeks ago but it was teeny weeny.

RE: Peter Firth
Ooh, love that picture! And yay for the waistcoat, I did like him wearing them in Spooks as well. The man wears a three-piece suit really well. Hee, with that hat he'd look right at home in Texas.

RE: Peter Firth
Can't wait to see it now!

Anyone know when it starts, which channel, etc?

"Where's Harry?"
"Moving in mysterious ways."

RE: Peter Firth
South Riding is going to be on BBC1, but they still don't seem to have a start date. There's a link here about it, but don't get too excited - it seems to mention every actor in it other than Peter Firth. I suspect that's not a great sign for the size of the part. Confused

RE: Peter Firth
He's playing Alderman Snaith according to IMDB - should help people reading the book to work out whether his part's very big. Ooh-er missus! (As Peter would say...)

"Where's Harry?"
"Moving in mysterious ways."
