Exactly. The fact that I find Joe attractive is neither here nor there. I am lucky that unlike some actors I like he is always in things that interest me. I do believe nearer the end of The Village his character shone a lot more because it was a lot to get your head around the time skips etc but you could always count on Birstow to be about carrying on in his normal way. I'll be interested to see what happens to him when the Second World War starts after all he was sent back injured so don't know what would be the practise. Hollow Crown I watched because I love Shakespeare. Then again if I was only gonna watch it for eye candy James Purefoy and Tom Hiddlestone were both in it so good luck figuring out which piece of eye candy it was I was watching! This i admit to hearing about because I was searching for things that Joe had done but what actually drew me to it was Pemberton, so yeah I stayed watching it because of Joe but also Steve and their interactions. Any problem I have with the final two episodes will be because of how their stories are treated.
