Guy of Gisborne has just shot Friar Tuck!!

MrsLucasNorth · 15/01/2011 21:19

There has to be a double entendre in there somewhere, Phoenix...!

MrsLucasNorth · 15/01/2011 21:21

Actually if I type up on my phone key pad it autocorrects to JP Grin!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 21:23

How about this one...by a very young Russian video maker...

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/01/2011 21:25

Is there any visible trace of Guy in JP, I wonder? A couple of John Thornton photos posted last night were rather reminiscent- a sort of smirky smoulder on him, he had Grin

OP posts:
PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 21:26

No, there's no trace of Guy in there, except possibly the voice on its own is reminiscent...

MrsLucasNorth · 15/01/2011 21:29

I think JP is more like a 'real' version of Lucas, in.that he had a family and relationships that give him more dimensions as a character.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 21:30

Sorry, you mean does JP look much like Guy, my comment was more on the acting style.

He doesn't look like Guy either....

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/01/2011 21:30

Funny how different they all are, was talking to a pal about it and she even thought Lucas and Guy were different blokes

When I first saw Strike Back, it had been a while since I saw Spooks and it seemed to have several similarities, but having watched S9 recently, and watching SB again now, the similarities seem less marked.

I don't really think that JP is a more real version of Lucas either, JP is much more a straightforward hero type than Lucas ever was.

And the family and relationships in SB are so underdeveloped that they could have left them all out without losing much (if anything).

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/01/2011 21:33

I meant both looks and acting style really I suppose. Sometimes you catch a timbre in the voice, as you said that reminds you of one of the others..
And those photos were interesting -- I think one of them was when Thornton was mad about something!

OP posts:
Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/01/2011 21:35

Obviously I do not want them to be the same, it's far more interesting that they are different.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 21:35

Strike Back has many flaws, but I do love it anyway!!

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 21:36

My shoulders are aching, I could really do with a massage....

MrsLucasNorth · 15/01/2011 21:39

You have a point actually, Phoenix. I've only watched it once so far. It's a shame he probably won't be in Series 2 much as they could have really got some mileage out of his relationships.

I think it says a lot about RA's acting skills that you can separate the characters he plays so easily.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/01/2011 21:45

Poor Phoenix, your body is telling you it needs a break from the paperwork

OP posts:
PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 22:03

I think I am done with the paperwork for today - need a break until tomorrow.

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 22:09

Nice shoes

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 15/01/2011 22:12

Hi di hi. No I wasn't at Birdsong. I really disliked the book - yet another contender for the Bad Sex Award - so wouldn't go to see it at the theatre. I see from the link that Sarah Caulfield lived in Adelaide - perhaps that's why her CIA officer sounded South African to me. Confused

That SB vid isn't my tasse de the but I love the song.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/01/2011 22:13

Shoes were not be the first thing that caught my eye...

PhoenixRisingFromTheAshes · 15/01/2011 22:15

Do you think that Thorin could look at bit like these pics, obviously with a longer beard...

Guy

More Guy

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/01/2011 22:15

WB Techno, you always catch me when I'm being unworthy, don't you?

How are you finding Birdsong MrsLN? Is the sex that bad?
