Greg is a strange one. But there's something in those clumsy movements and casual stutter that has her on the edge of her seat, unable to look away from the sight of him. or, Diane can't get Greg off her mind

I thought I would mention in passing...

Yeah, I’m in trouble now.

I was watching the classic 1995 BBC version, which is the gold standard of filmed P&P for me (I say nothing of Colin Firth and the Lake, nothing... ) when this thing just jumped out of the bushes and bit me in the butt screaming MOMMY WRITE ME.

The plot? We all know the plot. Except for the deep-space battles with pirate starships.

Oh Goddess what have I gotten myself into this time? ...Oh well, too late now. Everybody may as well come along and watch. I’ll start serious work early next week.

(I love that peacock. I paid money for that thing, I loved it so much.)

ETA: for those who can’t access the NaNoWriMo page to see the full blurb...

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of an interstellar trading fleet and his own planet, must be in want of a wife." And from the first moment Lib Bennet sets eyes on the darkly handsome Master Darcy, heir to the dangerous and powerful Pemberley trading cartel, she's almost irrationally certain that whoever that wife's going to be, it won't be her.

Heiress to the single ship of a small deep space trading family fallen on hard times, Lib is steering an uncertain course among the stresses incumbent on a free trader's life: a weary father saddled with his own father's debts and an entailed ship in which his family can't rest secure, a dingbat mother mostly living in a glorious past that was never really that glorious, and a flock of sisters who are proving difficult to marry into trading families anywhere near suitable to their station. Libby pushes down her own feelings about the uncertainty of any fate awaiting her. She'd be glad enough to die a spinster captain, free to trade where she pleases until she's too old to feel the subspace currents on her skin.

But the endless politicking and shifting power-balances among the great families will never allow her that leisure. At the frequent balls and gatherings of the sector's trading houses, Lib knows she's mostly a symbol for a potential corporate acquisition... and she herself just another asset. All her intention is bent on making sure that the family ship Longbourn is at least treated with due respect when it's inevitably swallowed up into some more vital cartel.

And as for acquiring anything for herself beyond the respect her pride requires, Libby's too much of a pragmatist to have any real hopes. Expecting love as well as partnership in her life is nothing more than a girl's sweet but unrealistic dream. Lib concentrates on keeping her head amid the glittering blandishments of the Great Houses idly jockeying for the Bennets' attention, and on keeping her heart well out of play.

Until fate takes a hand...

It’s not always easy being James Norton, the easy-on-the-eyes British actor who’s built a name for himself across multiple big-name TV series. Through a mix of talent, luck, and looks, Norton has crafted a surprisingly successful career for himself after breaking out in 2009’s critically acclaimed film An Education. Since then, he’s translated a wide range of bit parts – he’s appeared in everything from Doctor Who and Black Mirror to Death Comes to Pemberley and Inspector George Gently – into starring turns in celebrated crime show Happy Valley (for which he was nominated for a 2015 Best Supporting Actor BAFTA Award) and well-received detective drama Grantchester. Recently, the dashing star has even sparked rumors he might be the next James Bond.

Still, Norton told The Telegraph that not everyone understands his appeal: “I was sitting opposite my great-aunt Grania at a family lunch the other day and she was staring at me, in a quizzical way. Then she said: ‘Honestly, James, I just can’t understand why you look so good on the telly. In real life, you’re just so bland and normal-looking…’”

London-born and North Yorkshire-raised by two teachers, Norton was interested in acting from the ripe old age of four, when he played the role of Joseph in a nativity play. “After that, I’m sure I was an annoying, precocious little kid who just wanted to dress up and get all the attention. I’d write all these weird little plays and force all my friends to act in them, when they probably just wanted to play football. But, amazingly, everyone has always been incredibly supportive.” Norton studied theology at Cambridge and graduated in 2007 with First Class Honours, a background which may have helped him prep for the role of Grantchester’s resident vicar turned sleuth Sidney Chambers. Norton later attended Cambridge’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art but left six months before graduation for a role.

Some performances have required Norton to stretch his skills further than others. As he noted in an interview with The New York Times about playing Chambers, a charming character with a complex backstory, “Sidney is very similar to me. He’s a normal guy who sees the best in people and wants to do the right thing but is always tempted off course. Aren’t we all? I knew him so well that I ran on instinct by the end.” But Norton is quick to dispel the notion that he’s just like the characters he plays; speaking about the role of Prince Andrei in 2016 mini-series War & Peace, he said: “Prince Andrei, for example, was set up to be a romantic hero, but that’s not who I am. If people saw me through a keyhole, as my life really is, they’d go: ‘Oh!’ The risk is that you start to read this stuff about yourself and engage with it and believe it. Then, I think, you’re really in trouble.”

Nailing his performance as Happy Valley’s psychopathic villain Tommy Lee Royce was an even greater challenge for Norton, as his process for stepping into a new role typically involves spending a fair amount of time getting “in the head of the person and just thinking his thoughts… In Tommy’s head, everyone is a psychopath. And it’s dog eat dog. So you’re looking at everyone with utter hate. Can you imagine? My neighbors must have been terrified.”

The actor also expressed some frustrations he feels at being boxed into certain roles based on his perceived “posh” social class and speech patterns, which was particularly pertinent when auditioning to play the heavily tattooed, working class Royce. “Mostly producers worry about casting against type. They want the character to walk through the door because that makes everyone’s life easier. But, as actors, that’s frustrating because it’s our job to transform. So it’s pretty wonderful that they were willing to take a risk with me and, hopefully, I’ve shown that the way you look or sound, or the class that you’re from, doesn’t limit you to a certain kind of role.”

In real life, Norton certainly seems a closer match to Chambers than to Royce. Grantchester costar Robson Green described Norton’s affable personality, as well as the duo’s real-life bromance, in an interview with the Independent: “I’d seen Happy Valley in which he was amazing in…You see that character there and he walks in and I meet him and I go ‘wow’…I just love listening to him, it’s like the teacher I never had. So that was a joy.”

Perhaps most importantly for any successful performer, Norton is not afraid to laugh at himself. Case in point is an anecdote he described from his experiences on the set of Grantchester: “At one point they asked me to improvise a sermon. You know that lyric ‘I can see clearly’? I just started riffing on that, with the congregation trying not to laugh. They haven’t trusted me since.” He also poked fun at his inexperience and anxiety while working on An Education: “I was wobbling down these cobbles on a period bicycle with a violin on my back, trying to keep up with Carey Mulligan, with this huge crane and hundreds of extras,” he recalled. “And all you can see as I pass the camera is that I’m absolutely terrified.”

Fans can only expect great things to come from this versatile performer, who appeared most recently in Season 3 of Grantchester and in film Hampstead alongside Diane Keaton, and who is slated to star in upcoming sci-fi film Flatliners with Nina Dobrev, Ellen Page, and Kiefer Sutherland.

If The Outlaws Had YouTube Channels (Part 4)

DIANE • Diane always called YouTube stupid; "a mind-numbing tool for lazy people to watch away to forget just how unhelpful they are". However, she soon changed her tune once she overheard Lucy had a channel, and she'd never created an account and subscribed to something so quickly in her life. • A vast amount of her videos are reactions/reviews of Lucy's videos (she's somewhat [read: entirely] of a Lucy wannabe), talking about the information being laid out in more detail, why things are the way they are, and sometimes going off of unrelated tangents - she's not picked up on how to trim clips, so it all stays in. • Her original videos are filmed around and about Bristol or wherever she's stationed, catching people in bad acts and showcasing what will happen if you commit these crimes yourself. Unfortunately while she's distracted, a lot of the perpetrators manage to escape. • Her channel isn't immensely successful at around 20 subscribers (including Stan, Greg, Gabby, and a pity follow from Lucy), but she doesn't mind - just as long as she's doing her part for the police force.

LUCY • Lucy started a channel a few weeks after being accepted into one of the low-ranking levels of the police force, with the indication of helping others achieve their dreams as she did. • Her uploads consist of talks and explanations, where she takes the viewer through each part of the "cirriculum" as it were, to help them understand and better their chances of becoming an avid member. She also livestreams once a month to recap everything she has taught in that time, and to take questions, should there be any. • She's punctual, and to-the-point; if she says there are going to be fortnightly uploads, there are going to be fortnightly uploads. Her livestreams are also precisely on time, when she told everyone they were going to be. • On some videos, she ended up having to disable the comment section, not because of the hate, but because they were flooded with Diane's messages, and deleting them all was getting tiresome. • Currently has around 900 subscribers, and Diane is determined to make enough alt accounts to get her to 1k.

STAN • He started his channel fairly young, around 15-16, originally to just subscribe to creators he enjoyed watching without an account, particularly ones who made him laugh, or provided some kind of interesing tutorial, such as make-up. I use the word "interesting" as opposed to "useful", because Stan doesn't really believe he has to know-how or skill to even attempt what he watches, but still enjoys seeing the process come together and how pretty it looks, leaving lots of "slayyy" comments. • The uploading itself, didn't come until a few years down the line, and even then, it was not very frequent. His content was just small random vlogs that he'd sometimes record to just get his thoughts out when something unusual had happened that day. He often filmed these in his car, after visiting the nearest Starbucks after college or work. • He's not the most popular YouTuber by far, but a lot of people genuinely do enjoy his videos - 500 subscribers, to be precise. He has a small, familial community, and they all enjoy each other's company, especially on the livestreams he began doing on other platforms to adhere to this popularity.

Diane Pemberley/Lucy Haines

When Lucy mentions going out for drinks it is almost too good to be true.

For the past few years, Diane has tried to approach the other woman only to be met with a resounding no every single time. 

But this time she doesn’t have to ask because she is the one being asked. 

Part of Diane assumes it will be a one time thing - a dopamine hit from catching a killer that will wear off.

But then next week Lucy is waiting by the door and asking her which pub she would like to go to this week.

[lesliesknopes]

Diane Pemberley/Lucy Haines

Diane always knew she admired DS Lucy Haines. It was natural to look up to another woman flourishing in a male dominated field. The way she was able to capture a room full of men with the snap of her fingers had Diane obsessed.

When she qualified as a police constable she wanted to be Lucy Haines, a self satisfied smirk settled on her face as her hair bounced with every step.

But it took Diane a little longer to realise that she did not only want to be her. She wanted to be with her… in the romantic sense.

60 seconds James Norton

The Happy Valley, Grantchester and War & Peace heart-throb, 31, now pops up in new romcom Hampstead

by Larushka Ivan-Zadeh

Where are you today?

I am in Belgrade at the end of an eight-month shoot for a new drama series called McMafia, created by some of the people who did The Night Manager. It’s a look at the new globalised Mafia. We’ve been to lots of places but I am getting a bit homesick for London now.

That’s where your new film, Hampstead, is set. It’s being called the new Notting Hill…

It definitely has a similar feel and tone to Notting Hill. Hampstead is an area of London that has a villagey feel, like Notting Hill.

You have a small role. Was that because of TV commitments?

Yes. It was fortuitous because I was in between two jobs. The producer of Hampstead rang me and said, ‘You only have about three or four scenes but they are with Diane Keaton.’ And that’s a pretty big draw for any actor.

Is Diane Keaton like Annie Hall, her character in the Woody Allen film, in real life?

Yes! She is so bubbly and full of this wonderful lightness and I was taken aback by how so incredibly engaged she is with you. She was genuinely interested in what my mum was up to and how my girlfriend was. She was like that with every member of the cast and crew.

Which celebrity do you most get mistaken for?

I don’t get confused with anyone else, which is quite nice. Though someone came over to me recently and was like, ‘Can I just say that I love Endeavour, it is one of my favourite shows?’ She’d mixed up Grantchester with Endeavour and you don’t know if you should correct them and make them feel awkward or just go along with it. In this case I was very British and polite and signed my name ‘Shaun Evans’.

Hampstead has bathing ponds. Do you like wild swimming?

Yes I do, especially in the summer. In fact, swimming in Hampstead Ponds is one of my favourite things.

Is it true you started out as a kids’ entertainer?

Yes. I worked for [children’s party company] Sharky & George to keep myself financially afloat during drama school and loved it! It was perfect for a jobbing actor because you got to run around and shout and play. I still do the odd one on the side. I kind of miss it.

What’s your favourite party game?

There is just something about playing with the parachute, this huge billowing and colourful thing. I am still just a massive kid inside.

You were schooled by Benedictine monks, then studied theology at Cambridge. Did you ever contemplate the priesthood?

Oh no, no, no! I studied theology very much from an academic perspective. I was never destined to be in the Church. The closest I got is playing Sidney Chambers in Grantchester and he is a pretty rubbish vicar anyway. He means well but is pretty wayward and I’d be probably way more wayward than him.

Were you in the ‘luvvie’ set at Cambridge?

At school, it was all about rugby or sport and theatre was a little less cool. Once I got to Cambridge, I just wanted to do everything. I’d try to go to about four parties in a night and it meant I was sometimes a mad manic mess but that’s what university is for, I think.

You’re tipped to be the next James Bond. Fancy it?

The press and public love to speculate and it is very flattering to be part of that. As far as I know, Daniel Craig is going to do one or two more. I hope he does.

Your parents have been extras in Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Death Comes To Pemberley, War & Peace and Grantchester. Is this now in your contract or something?

No, it is not, but I bet my dad would love it if it was! It is something we did as a way for my parents to experience what I do because, in my family, no one is from this industry. My parents are both teachers.

What is your essential picnic item?

I am a massive fan of portable speakers. I’d also bring a Frisbee and fresh strawberries. You can’t get more English than that.

Hampstead is in cinemas now
