Jamie Parker! Andrew Knott! On The Telly!

[sophieisgod]

Eep! Jamie Parker, AKA Scripps, AKA My Very Favourite History Boy, was on Silent Witness tonight! It's a complete fluke that I saw it; I was in the front room reading the new Ian McEwan and I glanced up to see him peeling off his surgical mask! He's playing a surgeon of ambiguous morals, and this means SCRUBS, which means FOREARMS!!!!

Some of you may know that I am rather attached to Jamie Parker's forearms. Not literally, alas, but still. They are marvellous. *points to icon* Anyway, two-parter, so watch it tomorrow night at 9PM, mmkay? Also, there is sexy smoking, and while his accent is not Scrippsy, it is still deep and pleasing.

I do quite like Silent Witness, actually, Now that Amanda Birton's fucked off it's really rather good. I love the whole Harry/Nikki dynamic, they are adorable. Tonight, when he was doing adorable little hand flaps in her face, saying "Go away!" TOO CUTE. Can anyone tell me whether they're supposed to be together or not? Every time I've seen them try, something bad happens, like his ex-girlfriend turns up and gets hit by a bus.

In other History Boys related news, Andrew Knott, AKA Lockwood, AKA My Second Favourite History Boy, is going to be in the new series of Drop Dead Gorgeous, starting this Sunday on BBC3! Apparently he's playing the main character's tutor, which will of course lead to an illict affair. Can't blame the girl, really. And of course, Dominic Cooper as Willoughby in S&S! Excited now!

I loved the logic in that ^^

One silly out of nowhere question. You see this sentence "It's a complete fluke that I saw it"... is that expression well-known? too informal? too British? (it can be all of the above :P and more) I want to know because I tend to absorve certain phrases, words and general expressions and then I use British old fashioned words, British current expressions, certain American words that are used in some place and so on... together with the mistakes I make for not being a native speaker, and it's a mess.

FOREARMS make my brain fuzzy :)

It's not really a phrase as such, but the term 'fluke' is pretty widely used. In Britain, anyway, I'm not sure about America. It's informal, I'd say, and it basically means an accident, or something you didn't expect to happen. Like, if you didn't study for a test and you still got a really good mark, that would be a fluke. And your English is really good. :D

Also, why hello there Gary Oldman. *flirts with your icon* I STILL NEED TO SEE DRACULA! THEY DON'T HAVE IT ANYWHERE IN MY TOWN!
