Have you been watching Downton Abbey, which premiered on Masterpiece on PBS last Sunday? If not, get thee to a computer and watch it on-line. The handsome footman Thomas, played by Rob James-Collier, is waiting to be of service.
It's an English consume drama with an Upstairs, Downstairs feel. Like all English costume dramas, there's a gay angle. This one involves Thomas the Footman and a Duke. I won't reveal anything here, but these screen captures are from the first episode.
Rob James-Collier is well known to British audiences for his role in the soap opera Coronation Street where he apparently has been known to take off his shirt.
And even grow a beard.

You know I totally approve! I find William to be snarkily sexy. Another marvelous choice for Monday's Man! So glad you agree with me on "Downton Abbey." WONDERFUL!
intriguing! Will try and catch in whether on tv or online. How's things??
Again, thanks for another great tip! I love the BBC Masterpiece Theater shows. This one I will definitely check out. Thanks again!
It is amazing how much things have changed in so little time. Nice to see.
I think Rob is a really good actor, and pretty attractive as well. I just finished watching season 1 of "Downton Abbey" & enjoyed it, but I didn't like the gay character's story line. I guess the writers wanted the viewers to hate and despise him because they gave him no socially redeeming qualities at all. There are so many negative stereotypes about people who are gay and I think perpetuating those stereotypes did the series a huge disservice.
