I Love My TV Boyfriend More Than Ever

I just bought the 2003 BBC version of The Other Boleyn Girl on DVD, watched it, and capped the hell out of it. Sigh.

Apologies for the size of the caps, but I'm too lazy/ unskilled to shrink them.

So.... Attempt at a picspam? Here goes. Spoilers ahoy.



This is Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary. They have rivalry issues.

This is them with their brother, George. They're pretty tight.

This is Anne and George rolling around on the grass. Hmmm.

Okay, so first Henry VIII likes Mary. Lures her away from her dull husband (Roger from Wives & Daughters!)Sleeps with her. Knocks her up. Turns his attentions to Anne.

Anne gets presents.

William Stafford (played by My TV Boyfriend Philip Glenister!) is secretly in love with Mary. He is angsty. And delicious. More on that story later.

Anne and Henry get married. Eventually, Mary's dull husband dies, thus leaving the way clear for Stafford to make his move. He's knocked back. Has she not eyes? Anyway, he is sad. And angsty. And delicious.

Luckily, when her sister the Queen tries to set her up with a Creepy Old Man, Mary comes to her senses and does this.

Then this happens.

Yay all round. But The Family aren't impressed. Showdown!

Mary finally grows some balls and stands up for herself and her new husband.

Then this happens, which totally makes it worth her while.

But; trouble in Paradise. Anne can't bear Henry a son, so the trio misguidedly decide that Anne should sleep with George. Her brother. Ew. But they argue about it first.

Surprisingly, this plan doesn't work, and Anne and George are both executed. This is Anne in the Tower.

And the producers really rub it in with A Flashback To Happier, More Innocent Days.

Anyway, Mary lives happily after with My TV Boyfriend Philip Glenister.

Okay, so my pathetic attempt at conveying the details of plot being over and done with, let's move onto the shallow, shallow reasons that I actually bought this DVD.



Okay, MTVBPG aside, Steven Mackintosh, who plays George, is completely adorable. See Our Mutual Friend for further evidence.

See? In this one I just like the way he's chewing on his thumb. Cutely.

Ooh, near the beginning Anne has a thing with Henry Percy, played by Oli Chris, whom I also want to cuddle. They're in love and stuff. It's sweet.

Okay, now it's time for The Many Brooding Faces Of William Stafford.

Ooh, and him playing with Mary's kids. Sigh.

Okay, for the proposal scene, I went slightly overboard with the capping.

And he looks damn sexy when Mary comes to his house realising She's Made A Huge Mistake.

Look! Hand clasping! He's so sweet. And manly. And grrr.

A wee bit more of Cute Angsty George:

And finally: You can't see much of my guy in this one, but it's worth it just for the glimpse of his manly hand.

So, there you have it. One picspam, courtesy of BBC DVD. I would also like to clarify that Philip Glenister isn't really my boyfriend, and I'm not a stalker. I just love him.

And Easy Louisey, these are yours for the saving.

Glad you enjoyed TOBG - it can be hard to obtain.
We have a long thread at Philippa's messageboard on the upcoming movie with Scarlett Johansson / Natalie Portman/ Eric Bana.
I'd like to invite you to join the board and the discussion there.

Oli Chris! *squee*
I watched it when it was on TV but I can't remember how much he's in it?
I think he's still in the film version though. :D

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
He's really only in it for about 3 minutes. He's soooo cute, though, all his lines are basically either in French, or variants on "I wuv you".

Do you mean the Natalie Portman film?
*runs off to check IMDb*

It appears so yes! But OMGzzz, Oli speaking French?! This I do not remember!

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I shall have to watch it again. Strictly in the name of accuracy, you understand. I think it's something like 'Je t'aime' (is that right? I haven't done French since I was 13), over and over again, interspersed with mucho kissing. Sigh.

Haha, well your French is very much correct...well done! :p
Mmm, wouldn't mind Oli speaking French to me! Though the second time I went to see him in Cyrano de Bergerac he said "pardonnez-moi" to us because him and a load of the other actors had just run right at us with their swords above their heads! His accent wasn't very good though, lol. (This was all part of the play btw!)

In case I didn't say it before, JEALOUS!

Also, IMDb doesn't list which character he's playing. Are we assuming Henry Percy?

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_faeriequeen/ 2007-02-27 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! :p
And yes, that's what I'd assume.

I've longed to get a hold of this adaption but I don't think it's been released on region 4 (*grumbles*)

But great caps! Anything with Philip is always nice.

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I've been waiting for this for years, so I had to pounce on The Six Wives Of Henry VIII boxset when it came out... Which would be yesterday.

*is a bit of a sad fangirl*

Oh wow, these are just wonderful! I was wondering- could you make more screencaps of Natascha (Mary) for my site? I'd appreciate it very very very much :)

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2007-02-28 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! No problem, I'll post them in my journal within the next few days. Those of with the DVD should share the wealth...

[identity profile] movie-licious.livejournal.com 2007-02-28 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh could you? That would be wonderful! And a zip file with the caps to download them at once would be uber wonderful! ;)

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2007-03-01 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do my best re: the zip file, but my tech skills really aren't up to much. :( I'll definitely get the caps up ASAP, though.

Thank you very very much :*
Are you a member of Philip Glenister forums by any chance? ;)

That was my post below - just wanted to let you know I'm a real person not a spammer. I had forgotten my log-in here.

Great caps... specially your boyfriend PG (interesting, I thought he was mine *winks* )

I thought the movie was entertaining. Thank you for sharing your caps.

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2007-02-28 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! And there's more than enough PG to go around.... He's mine, though.
