Other cast - Jean-Marc Barr (cute in an Adrian Paul-ish sort of way), Miranda Richardson (hysterical), Richard E. Grant (excellent) and Anna Friel

Squidge factor - Ummm, well it's there, just somewhat hidden behind the sheer ickiness of the character. Some very nice fencing scenes. But this guy hides behind women in a fight! Stick it out until the end because his legs look like they're a mile long in the last sword fight. *Really* *nice* *pants* (7 out of 10)

Death - Yes, dead again. <sigh>

DVD - He's in DVD scenes/chapters 6, 8, 10, 12 & 13.
