You bring up a good, and very gross, point about food getting stuck in beards. I shudder to think of that. Definitely NOT sexy!<br /><br />And you were the one who turned me on to The Paradise last year, so thank you! I am officially in the Emun Elliott Fan Club now and can't wait for S2 of the show.<br /><br />Shame about you Brits getting the less saucy version of The White Queen. Only two eps in so far, but I think this show is really gripping. I just read that the BBC declined to do a second series for the show, which I don't have a problem with because I think that the stories for most of these characters will be wrapped up by the end of S1.<br /><br />I will be very sorry to see Matt Smith leave Who, but Peter seems like a nice guy. So, I am going to hope for the best with him. I do wish they'd get some male eye candy on that show, though!<br /><br />New column coming up tomorrow, so check back then! :)Tracie Banisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251073586491084749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702413622201051669.post-6341312967419442912013-08-20T20:13:04.632-07:002013-08-20T20:13:04.632-07:00Thanks, Tracey!

It has everyth...Wow I love your new Column Tracie. It has everything.<br /> <br />On the subject of beards I dont really like them and much prefer clean shaven or stubble. If its a small beard then maybe. It depends who it is as some men it suits more than others. I have found myself liking someone more with a beard at times because it has enhanced their features or made them look a bit older and more intelligent. Im not sure about that full beard look. I dont think I can take to that. It looks like a small furry animal stuck on their face and all I can think of is food getting stuck in it. Ive seen it happen and its a real turn off I can tell you. <br /><br />As you know I love The Paradise. Having been lucky to see the first series when it was shown on the BBC. Though I only decided to watch it in the first place because a certain Mr Emun Elliot was in it. He first caught my attention on a very short lived series called Paradox. I was so upset when that ended as I couldnt get my Emun fix. Though I love everything about this show now. All the characters and the storylines and the romance. I was so happy to hear that there would be a second season. Cant wait for that. I found Mr Selfridge lacking in something but I cannot quite put my finger on it. Im not sure I will be watching the second series of that. <br /><br />I am loving the White Queen. Though sadly its the final episode tonight over here in the UK.:( I may have to see if I can re-watch it by other means especially if the UK version was not as racey as the Starz version. I know they couldnt show alot of the sex scenes on the BBC. :( so Ive missed out there sadly. <br /><br />I will give the new Doctor chance in Dr Who. I mean I have seen older actor play the part and each has brought something to the character of the Doctor. I never thought Matt Smith would become the Doctor quite so well as he has but he has made it his own. It will be sad to see him go. <br /><br />Looking forward to your next column.<br /><br />Ally Alison Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702413622201051669.post-53545066805918779382013-08-18T07:20:31.995-07:002013-08-18T07:20:31.995-07:00Great column, Tracie!
