    I didn't like it. He was too Sean Bean, but I accept my preconceptions about him influenced that. Also, I don't fancy him. If I did, I can see why that would be an amazing performance. I'm genuinely not being patronising with that. I'm not blind, I can see what's attractive about him in that. And there are performances in films by women I find attractive that blow me away.

    Id read the book first and I think he fitted with how I'd imagined him.

    I can totally get that. I'd read the book first too and I can bet a pound to a penny that we were thinking of the characters in the book in a different way. Of course we were, different perspectives. Maybe you didn't, at any point, imagine yourself as Lady Chatterley, but I certainly imagined myself as Oliver Mellors.

    God yeah, Game of Thrones, Jesus. If I said I liked something like Game of Thrones when I was a kid I would have got put in a bin. Now, it’s like some sort of badge of honour.

    Weird as ****.

    I don't usually like sean bean. But I have to say he was excellent in "time". Also in that drama where he played a priest.

    My favourite actor is Daniel Mays,not Sean Bean ,some actors have the ability to make you forget its them and lose yourself in the character,like David Jason ,but Sean Bean is always Sean Bean

    He is really, really good in everything I've seen (from This Is England onwards). But is he better than Michael Sheen?

    Both amazing. Although I think Michael Sheen is at his best when embodying a known person (Frost/Nixon, wow) but there's just something in the way Stephen Graham let's you see in to his soul. Time was good, but not in the same class as The Virtues, or the latter series of This Is England which are just staggering
