Richard Armitage in Spooks

[cupcakesandbunting]

I definitely would.

Maybe twice.

Me too, Mr Thornton all the way.

me three, except the ending annoys me, as no way would JT have been sitting in a railway carriage with his jacket off and cravat untied. And unlikely not to have had a hat on as well. I know it's better for the viewing figures storyline, but it's not right for the period. Gah.

[daydreams] "look back, look back at me"...

Only 4 sleeps till spooks......

Yes but, Shrinking Violet, if we were to sit down and list all the anachronisms - I winced at one point when he said 'Oh my God' - it would spoil the magic, wouldn't it? On the DVD, there is some production/designer bod saying that it was a deliberate decision to have RA sans cravat in the final scene. Have you read the book? The ending's better, I think.

I have, ahem, watched it quite a few times now (someone has very kindly posted it on Youtube) and that 'look back, look back at me' scene still brings a lump to my throat. So I am immensely grateful to RA for that. Of course, I do still trust that he doesn't spend his weekends stamping on kittens, but that isn't really what matters to me. I wish I'd seen him in the Duchess of Malfi, though. (But as I've learned from all this that he lives quite near me, I live in hope of seeing him at the cheese counter in the supermarket).

Have just read an interview with Laila Rouass about the love scenes to come in Spooks, and I quote;
"It's not so much bedroom scenes because they do it all over the house!"
That should keep you going 'til Monday cupcakes!

Now I have my mists on both North & South and the first 5 episodes of Robin Hood - where shall I start? Answers on a postcard please!

I've just re-watched "look back at me" and I still don't see it with DDA.

It should have been me, it should have been meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Always start with North and South...

Yes, start with North and South. It repays frequent viewings.

Robin Hood is very jolly (I speak as a veteran of 1 1/2 episodes) but, as far I can see (so far at least), it is basically panto with Guy of Gisborne as a particularly fetching villain with leather trousers some redeeeming qualities.

Thing is I've bought n &s but rg from library, and my inconsiderate dh is staying in tonight - grrrr!

ASmallBunchofflowers - where does RA live then? (runs off to get A to Z)

Well, it says in an earlier post that he said in an interview that he lives in SE London in a house with a large garden. Someone suggested pitching a tent there.

However, just I suspect that the promise of Lucas getting raunchy on the kitchen table with a Strictly Come Dancing contestant is a hoax to get the nation's ladies of a certain age to watch Spooks, so I wonder whether he said that to throw his legions of obsessive devoted fans off the scent. I imagine therefore that he actually lives in a converted barn in the Cotswolds. Or a lighthouse off the Cornish coast. Or a Hebridean croft.

More promises of kitchen table action on Twitter tonight...we'll see...

Yeah, but twitter is being written by hopeful fantasists freelancers, isn't it?

So what did you watch, womblingfree?

The 1st 2 episodes of Robin Hood as it has to go back to library next Weds. Not entirely sure if it's worth wading through them all tbh. Am saving North & South for when.I have a dh-free evening or 2 and can lust in peace

Surprised that Robin Hood was disappointing, the montage on YouTube (womanizer) is such a swoonfest!!!!!!!What clips from Youtube can anybody else recommend???
My North and South DVD arrived yesterday!! Hide it from DH

This is

OMG - that voice...

Womble, yes, it is that voice that does it...
Was very annoyed last monday as had settled down, waiting for the kitchen table scene that didn't happen ...hope it is in this week...

Oooooh that clip was fab - I'll be kicking dh out of the door next week so I can watch North and South, it kind of ruins the exprience when he's in the room

This is also superb if you like .

If you look on Twitter now, Lucas has come over all 9 1/2 Weeks.

I saw that. I nearly tweeted back to ask if he'd like me to bring some chocolate spread round!

He's back onto the kitchen table theme this afternoon...

Lurker here, with thanks for a fun thread. I was really miserable and it has put a huge smile on my face
So. Who is this Richard Armitage anyway :)

He's a potentially gittish but very beautiful actor with a voice like melted Bournville.
