I mostly hang out on the very friendly Brendan FB page and lurk around Twitter and Tumblr where my needs are ably filled by Yesss, HWW & ELV, among others. So, thank you ladies. Hey, Sandy! We used to be video posting buddies until Fb went all Big Brother fascist on us.

WOOT I also turned 30 this summer! And am stoked about it! I feel like I've been waiting for my 30s my whole life! Great to meet another person who embraced their 30s. I really feel like your 30s are when people start to look at you for you and not for other things.

My names Vicky and I'm a Brendan a holic, its been about 3 minutes since my last Coyle fix. As I type this I am watching The Good Samaritan.
I've met Brendan and he's touched me. Just to make this clear this isn't a bad thing. He also called me love and seemed generally baffled as to how I spell my name.
Anyway, moving on...
I first discovered the Coyle in the new year of 2011 when ITV repeated series 1 of DA. He had me at, 'You never asked.'
I guess Bates would be my favourite character although I go through stages of watching Terry Starling continuously for a week. Then I feel terrible because I've neglected Bobby Timmins and his sideburns. Then there's Duncan and Douglas etc etc. In short I haven't seen a thing he's done that I haven't enjoyed. Except for The Jacket but I blame Keira Knightly.
Aside from Brendan, I'm not ashamed to say I love the vicar from Emmerdale. Apart from Coyle my favourite actor is Kevin Spacey. I also love Morecambe and Wise. And Colin Firth is rather fetching.
A lifelong Chelsea fan, You can't hold it against me, it's a family thing. My Grandad told me I was going to be a blue so a blue I am.
Whilst I'm at it, my favourite Britons are Brendan Coyle, Admiral Nelson and Bobby Moore. Not necessarily in that order.

Hi. I am on Tumblr as whykickthehabit. Nice guy in my life and 4 kids. Work long hours so usually knackered. Without my music I would be DEAD. Footie fan (Arsenal) ....and I get awful mad when my team loses. Love Brendan as an actor....he' s got all the skills. Fave Brendan role has got to be as Miles Butler in Ailsa. It is dark and I veer towards the Dark Side. I consider myself a serious student of ALL Brendan's work.

Hey, Sandy! We used to be video posting buddies until Fb went all Big Brother fascist on us. , indeed. That was so lame.I feel bad that we're no longer able to provide that service but there are so many options out there (for Downton at least) that if someone wants to see it, they can. Yours in solidarity...

Hi all, I am a tumblr - lurker. I have a few short fics on fanfiction.net, as 1732. (Figured I should keep it consistent.) Uh, watched the first season of Downton right before the second one came out last winter in the states, and stopped the video ten minutes into the first episode, cause, hey, I'd seen that dude before, but had no idea who he was. Figures. I'd seen North and South a few months earlier.
So, once I was done with the second season, I went for Lark Rise - which in many ways, I enjoyed more - Robert Timmons came off as a much more real character, to me, and I loved the relationship w/ Emma, and the portrayal of the era. That 4th season bit, though. It was a slog, watching episode after episode with no Robert.
Sadly, I've missed much of his work, as I can't see a way (er, legally) to watch shows like Starlings.
Oh, and a request - those awesome vids! The Bates/Anna one with Tom Baxter's 'Better', and the Bates/Grantham one, with 'Endless Love' - is there any way to put them here?

I made those. ;D I believe the only way is if I upload them to YT, but then they will probably mute the audio or something. They've started playing out of sync on Tumblr aswell.

Tumblr (in the effort to fix things that aren't broken) changed their vid player recently & the new one won't play for me hardly at all. I've posted a couple of YT vids here so far & they play fine! Give it a shot, ELV it just might work!

Hi! I'm Juliana (fuzzy-dreams on tumblr and fuzzydream on Fanfiction.net), and hey, Brendan forum? I'm in! I'm 21 and Brazilian (so do excuse my English), and I became crazy about Brendan after watching S1 and S2 of Downton Abbey in few days, back in December/January. Mr. Bates is perfect. Then I realized I had actually seen Brendan before as Nicholas in North and South (I'm crazy about it too), and then watched Starlings and, well, I was done. I'm currently watching Lark Rise - though it's taking me forever to finish it, I will, one day! - and I already love Robert Timmins. I think I know most of you from tumblr and fanfiction, so it's really great to be here. I think we'll have fun!

Ok, I'll bite too I'm Rachel. Downtonstalking on tumblr. Same as here on twitters. I have a deep love of the Brendan face; he's definitely the first DA guy I swooned over. Since then, and mainly thanks to FRS' tumblr I have caught up on his other work. Married to a good dude, have an almost 3 year old. Live in the midwest in the States.
