Mr. Thornton. Ah, what an image of strength, wisdom, manliness, and, - ahem - an amazing accent is evoked by the name of the hero of North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell's brilliant novel.
Gaskell is to thank for the character, Richard Armitage for the voice, and Martin Phipps for the heartbreakingly beautiful theme song.
Here's my tribute.
I'm watching the series right now. :) This is brilliant, thank you. <3
