Oh, Ianto. *swoon*

So in 2006-2007, as regular blog readers would know, my entertainment crush was definitely Captain Jack Harkness, played by John Barrowman, from Dr Who spin-off Torchwood. This year however, thanks to the way his role has developed in the show, I'm definitely falling for the sharply-dressed, sharp-quipping Ianto Jones, played by Welsh actor Gareth David-Lloyd.

Or am I falling for Gareth?

No, I think it's definitely Ianto who I'd like to get into bed - all I'd need is a stopwatch, and perhaps a cute red beret (sorry, those are references which only keen fans of the show will recognise)...

Anyway, you can read an interview with Gareth here, in the online version of SFX magazine, which goes into a little more detail about his role, and the character of Ianto generally; whereas if you want to know more about Gareth himself, then I suggest checking out his official website. Did you know, for instance, that he fronts a rock band called Blue Gillespie? No, I didn't either - and nor do I have any bloody idea what that name means!

But who cares? Isn't he cute?

Martha: So, you and Jack?
Ianto: We.... dabble.
Martha: And how is his... dabbling?
Ianto: Innovative. Bordering on the avant garde. [Gazes into the distance in reminiscence]
