    Can anyone recommend some video footage of that swagger? (as in ‘such’ scene) It’s only for research for historical dancing styles, honest! ;)

    But really, James as Beau Brummell is a delight. Specially those dressing scenes, damnnnnnnnn…. And yep, his Mark Antony still gives me quite the naughty dreams… ahem, what was I saying?
