Gruffudd looks nothing like the real Wilberforce it has to be said but like Gruffudd he did have a magnificent singing voice!

True. But I'm sure Mr WIlberforce wouldn't complain about being played by the lovely Mr Gruffudd!

I had to look up Wilberforce. Sounds like he was a good guy, even if he looked nothing like IG.

I too am a big fan of Tom Pullings.

Wilberforce was definitely one of the good guys :) Amazing Grace is supposed to be a very good film, one of IG's best. I have a copy here but I've never got round to watching it primarily due to the presence of Benedict Cumberbatch, who I have very little tolerance for.

I too am a big fan of Tom Pullings.
How could you not be? :)

You could always fast forward through the Cumberbatch parts, he's not really in it an extensive amount! Luckily for us, although granted not for him, Pitt died young! You really should watch it, and (spoilers for history) if you don't have a tear in your eye at the end when the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act is passed then you have a heart of stone

Never apologise for prettiness. :) I'll raise a glass to these two!
