I saw the first ep on BBC3 and thought while it was good I just don't buy that actor as Cassanova. Plenty of times I've seen films, progeys etc.. with actors who are adored by all when I don't find them attractive but I can see it, even if it isn't to my taste. However that guy, sorry there is no way he would charm all those women to bed. Still Matt Lucas all made up like that, well I thought I'd died and gone to a very cool heaven.
