If they'd wanted I would have volunteered for the part of First Buxom Bath Wench.

Completely free of charge.

Having studied episodes 1-3 of series 1, I recall that Robin and his sidekick have a bath to celebrate their return from the Crusades. So there is a Robin in da Tub moment.

And where is LeQueen with her sure-to-be-BAFTA-nominated script?

Theresaholeinyourmind · 31/10/2010 21:46

Maybe LeQueen has other fish to fry tonight, too. I must say I am looking forward to her next installment

A play with eleven hot-tub scenes? Is it going to be sponsored by Radox?

Oh Lordy. Is Guy going to be getting in touch with his feminine side by running a creche, then?

Once again, LeQueen, I flatter myself that I have made some very small contribution to making this the epic thespian indulgence for which the world has been waiting ever since the end of Robin Hood series 3.

Right. Really must go to bed now. I look forward to the next instalment of The Script What You Wrote.

Fettle · 01/11/2010 08:26

Oooh Oooh did someone mention RA being good with children again? Swoon!!!!

Can I just clear up some troubling details? Does The Man himself have tattoos? I'm assuming mr thornton doesn't?Shock. Can you imagine?! Guy?[hhmm]. Lucas obviously does........

Must pick myself up off floor!

LeQueen - loving the story so far. What sort of film length are you aiming for? Any other characters in the making? Or is it just one long soliloquy (with his baby nephew at opportune moments?!)

Oh I say, Maud.

I too have spent the weekend avoiding the ironing, but think perhaps it would be tolerable if I were to watch Robin Hood at the same time. Or perhaps the last episode of North and South.

How many dramatis personae will there be in your oeuvre, LeQueen? Will there be any roles for women other than yourself? Will any of the women get to speak? I feel it is vital that there should be a feminist dimension here and that the women should not be mere ciphers.

MrsLucasNorth · 01/11/2010 12:31

Perhaps we can incorporate something into the script about Guy going riding through the woods and being set upon by a gang of horny opportunistic female outlaws and tied to a tree....

cornishpasty · 01/11/2010 12:38

Just noticed that Dawn French is doing live chat on Weds.
How many questions do you think we could get in about RA? I'm very keen to hear all about his kissing techniques.
Grin

Glad i found you all again over here in sleb twaddle. I have so enjoyed reading all your comments having been a huge follower of RA for a couple of years now.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 01/11/2010 12:42

Mrs LN - There is also my meaningful and elegiac scene with the tea cup. It will provide a Moment of Beauty and Art.

Do you realise, cornishpasty, that Dawn French has kissed both Messrs Armitage and Clooney? Perhaps we could ask how she justifies such greed and selfishness? Although actually I like her and so do not begrudge her such joy.

cornishpasty · 01/11/2010 12:43

She's one verrrrrrry lucky lady! Envy

cornishpasty · 01/11/2010 12:46

MrsLucasNorth - I've found someone to help with your cold........

How can he still look so hot in bright orange??

Theresaholeinyourmind · 01/11/2010 12:49

Well, I see there has been quite a bit of feverish activity on Planet Armitage since I last looked in.

It's good to hear LaQueen's script is in goodknickers. I can't wait to see it completed. I like the minimalist approach to dialogue myself. I am hoping for plenty of moody lingering camera angles

Hmm so there were medieval jacuzzi frolics eh? What a good idea. There you are Flowers. I told you you were wrong to impugn Guy's standard of personal freshness. If you watch the actual episodes as opposed to YT vids, you will know that whenever he has been through a particularly strenuous fight, he repairs to his candle-lit lair and dons a nice fresh tee shirt. I also googled his local branch of Ye Sketchleys and can reveal that it is situated close by, next door to Ye Pizza Hutte.

Now Flowers, mon petit choufleur, I don't want you to feel you are being picked on, but for your own good as a feminist I have long felt the need to have a little talk with you on the subject of cellulite.

Firstly, every woman over the age of twenty or so has it.

Secondly, before the latter part of the last century there was no such thing It is just a nasty marketing ploy by some poncey French beauty houses to make loads of dirty francs/Euros by labelling the natural consequences of feminine hormones as a dermatological deformity.

If after all that you are still reluctant to travel beyond the teacups and ratafias, may I suggest you turn the lamps down a good few twirls of the knob. Comme on dit. Luckily for me the wattage of the lighting arrangements up at t'castle is gratifyingly minimal.

Okay, after all that bossy talk I need to take myself down a good few pegs. They say confession is good for the soul. Here's mine.

Last night I found on YT and bawled my eyes out at it.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 01/11/2010 13:00

Oooooh just watched that Cold Feet vid.

''Would you like to jump in with the other ladies?'' Cheeky!

and later

''Right ladies, let's get started''.

And in those Speedos too!

Naughty boy

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 01/11/2010 13:18

Thank for the feminist dialectic, Theresaholeinyourmind. Nonetheless, I feel that exposing Mr Thornton (who, as he confesses, has hitherto been Too Busy For Amour) to my amplitude might be too much for the poor man. I think we should get better acquainted over the tea cups and ratafia biscuits and then, perhaps, some slight shock might send me into a swoon, requiring him to pick me up off the Aubusson and carry me over to the chaise longue, wheerat our eyes would meet, the harp music would begin and everything would go soft-focus.

During this morning's ironing marathon I have got as far as RH series 1 episode 5. I had not spotted the branches of Ye Sketchleys and Ye Pizza Hutte, although have previously been amused by the YT behind the scenes clip in which Guy is discoursing while clutching a bottle of Ye Fanta.

I have to say your vid clip is rather good - many on YT I find unwatchable because the music is dire* - but did not move me to tears. I could not get over the appalling lack of cravats and frock coats. I don't recall whether you have said if there is a Mr/Senor/Monsieurtheresaholeinyourmind. Was he in the room while so you were so moved by the fine acting on show? If so, how did you explain your enervation and distress?

  • My favourite band is the Ukulele Orchestra of GB so I find some of the music choices on YT somewhat, ahem, challenging.
cornishpasty · 01/11/2010 13:20

Anyone seen Between the Sheets?
I've not seen it all, only the bits on youtube, but i've got some great bedroom pictures of RA from it. Grin
