Dr. Kate Lister

He's just merciless.

So I don't know if he considered himself part of this movement.

But he was aware he was a writer and that there was a sort of a new surge of interest in it.

But he definitely thought of himself as the best.

He had so many affairs, Dan.

It's ridiculous.

Mad, bad and dangerous to know.

Yes, she did.

She wrote that.

To be completely fair, I'm not sure that you couldn't say that about Caroline Lam herself.

I mean, I've got a lot of sympathy for the thousands of broken hearts that Byron seems to leave in his wake.

But Caroline, just like, wow, the behavior is really quite frightening.

So they meet at a party and she kind of snubs him and he finds that irresistible.

That's just like catnip to him.

And she's already quite an unstable person when you look into her background.

Her family have had lots of concerns about her behavior before and about her volcanic temper.

And so they launch into this ridiculously passionate affair and it only lasts about five months.

So just everyone bear that in mind, five months.

I've got things in my fridge that are going to last for longer than that.

My fascination with Byron, though, is that I know I would have been like this.
