Here’s one I’m putting up for all y’all to decide: does Tom Cullen qualify for “why are the baddies always hot?” In frock flicks, he swings back and forth between playing good guys and bad guys, and even his good guys may have an edge. It’s certainly a range!

So are Tom Cullen’s frock flick roles the baddies or not? What’s your fave?
Maybe 6-7 years ago, while he was still dating Tatiana Maslany, they came into the market I worked at. I (privately, in the back room) squeed over Tatiana Maslay, but nearly did not recognise Tom Cullen, because a) he had a big beard, and b) was not in period costume!
Anyway they were both really nice and bought a roast chicken for dinner.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Becoming Elizabeth did codpieces!
The armour, other material culture, and action in Knightfall are across the board awful. There was an article that came out at the time (from the production team of course) swearing on the authenticity of the armour, when it’s anything but. I remember seeing a castle siege in the show that has some of the more baffling tactics and logistics put to screen.
They couldn’t be arsed to get some basics right. What did they think the “le Bel” in Philippe le Bel meant?
The Metatron has two videos on Knightfall.
They thought he was a bell ringer?😁
‘Knightfall’ is a masterpiece of unintentional comedy.
Wow! I was totally unexcited about him in Downton Abbey, but now seeing all those beardy pics? YES PLEASE
Yes, he definitely looks better beardy!
He is yummy. His characters annoyed me in both Downton Abbey and Knightfall, but he looked good while doing it. I haven’t seen the others.
Goody,baddy, who cares, he’s hot.
