Oh my he looks simply delectable there! I think the hair looks particularly fine! I would say I'm jealous but I've got my own yummy photo too!
Also, I swear that zip-up cardi is the one Mac wears all the time in GW?

ah great stories, great picture, please post more and more pictures.
And next time you see Julian, tell him that we cant go to London and see this play, so he need to get to some major movie - just for us
(after the holidays of course which he really deserves)
Edit: Just saw your picture - so cute you both

Incredibly beautiful photographs! Lovely, lovely. Congratulations!
I would like to ask you Ducatilady, or the others who where there last time, that how did you exactly organize this meeting with Julian? Did you ask the man himself, like did you send him some written message or something, or did you ask some theatre personnel to help you? Just interested. But how nice of him to come outside to meet you! I'm sure he likes to see that he is being loved, at least as long as this fan-thing dosn't become too weird or obsessive.

Compiling a list so far we seem to have
Bill Nighy
Michelle Gomez
Jack Davenport
Andrew Lincoln
Helen Mirren
'Bernie' from Notting Hill (! - embarrasing that I can't remember his full name)
'Bernie' is the wonderful Hugh Bonneville, currently starring on BBC4 in Diary of a Nobody.
We can add Ralph Fiennes, Tom Stoppard and Anna Maxwell-Martin to that list according to this review.
Can't wait to see all these photos that you lot took!
Ooh, and someone on the IMDb boards saw Daniel Craig when they went. I think it's really cool how they both support each other still.
Okay so here's my review of LWW. It's being published in our college magazine next week. I must admit, I did take 'the stuff of genius' bit from a different review...but the rest of it is my opinion.
With a cast that boasts CV’s with the likes of Green Wing, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Brittas Empire, Life On Mars and Tomorrow Never Dies on them, this play was doing something right before the first performance. Joe Penhall’s play about the arms industry captures the genuine fear, triumph and decline of its characters, at the same time as trying to answer some of the most difficult questions ever put to the government.
Tom Hollander gives an energetic yet heartfelt performance as Ned, the brains behind a new military technology that could revolutionise modern conflict. His portrayal of the character is initially timid, awkward, but skilled in his field, however Ned quickly loses his cool and starts to falter, as he finds out what the weapon could really do, and his brother discovers what he is up to. Ned’s dentist brother Dan is superbly played by Green Wing’s Julian Rhind-Tutt (to me, giving the performance of his career) using his comic-timing and natural expression to make the longest whinge about his wife and kids the stuff of genius. Those who have seen Jason Watkins in all his glory will know that he’s an incredibly versatile actor. As Brooks, a head in the Ministry of Defence, he’s no different. He gives an eerie performance alongside Pippa Haywood, (also from Green Wing, playing Ross) the two people who try to get Ned to work with them in the weapons industry. Both of them have the right amount of sinister friendliness and are chilling to the bone trying to get results from a man almost incapable of answering the door to his own brother.
The chemistry between Hollander and Rhind-Tutt leads the first half into a messy and comical food fight on top of a small table, ending with takeaway curry getting thrown and kicked about the stage (at some points, even onto the first few rows of the audience). This is one of the many memorable scenes in one of the most interesting political plays there has been.
Initially this play is a debate, and everyone knows how people love a debate. Joe Penhall’s script is full of sharp wit and comical interregation, but behind all of that is a monster of an issue waiting for a solution.
Landscape With Weapon is at the Cottesloe, National Theatre until July 3rd.
