Then we get to meet the men.  All hired actors, paid to be players in these women's fantasy of courtship and hot elegance. If you've ever been to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire you get the picture.  There's of course a not as good looking version of Colin Firth (J.J. Fields) a dark haired stable boy (Bret McKenzie) a gallant popinjay (James Callis) and a super sexy Captain from the West Indies (Ricky Whittle).
