Richard Armitage in Spooks

[cupcakesandbunting]

I definitely would.

Maybe twice.

Jmarm - they're not real - a combination of transfers and airbrushing that take 2 hours to put on (wonders how to get job in make-up on Spooks - surely they don't actually pay someone to do that job with all the willing volunteers there must be forming a queue outside the studio!)

Great minds Maid

Maud, even! Bloody phone...

I'd have to keep licking him reapplying them

Baileys-
Go directly to play.com.
Do not pass Go.
Order North and South as tis cheap.
Select a free evening and lay back and think of Mr Thornton.

Yes, but, MrsLucasNorth and Jmarm and Maud, if you want to get a job applying Lucas's tattoos you'd have to sign an undertaking not to try to lick them off again.

Baileyscoffee - You have to watch North and South. Never has my bosom heaved so much.

It occurred to me that if I came across a thread like this on ChapsNet where men were drooling over some comely young actress I would condemn them for being so shallow and sexist. Whereas this thread, of course, is all about expressing our appreciation of RA's dramatic gifts. [winks]

Yes Flowers, always appreciating his beautifully formed dramatic gifts.

I might stick that on my birthday list then!
Can't remember the last time my bosom heaved!

Baileys - Get thee onto Youtube! There are also lots of Robin Hood fan videos there which display his leather trousers dramatic range to good effect. He's a former member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, you know.

I think we should all harass demand ask MNHQ nicely if he can be invited along to a "chat". Only if I can go to MNHQ and drool help though

Presumably his make up artist/tatt applier also has to have numerous photos of his naked torso from all different angles in order to get the continuity just so.

I think I could manage not licking them off. Would just have to start at the neck keep working south (even after I'd finished the tats!)

There I go, lowering the tone again

BTW on that note, take a look at the first few minutes of this interview...

I think you'll see what I'm getting at

Airbrushing Mrs LN? How does that work?
I am fascinated.
PLEASE please can we get him on here? Surely we will have scared him off by now made him realise what great fans of the dramatic arts we are.

You are sooo rude! And your link doesn't work.

and, I know a man with a van, so once I get into MNHQ, I can kidnap him in the van and take him to my house somewhere safe...........................................................................................................................................................and then I'll decide if I'm going to tell you lot where he is

Maybe we could bring the network/coms down & con him into going into an underground car park where we could ambush him like the CSS in last night's episode. Then to escape he'd have to change into his natty black number to abseil down the walls, where more of us would be waiting.

If you do a search on You Tube for RA it's an interview last month on the 'Lorraine' but with Myleene Klass filling in and asking him about the tattoos...

Very enlightening. As is the discovery that he's been a question on Mastermind.

It was the 'come and find out' bit that did it for me. How MK stayed put on that sofa I will never know - I certainly wouldn't need asking twice!

Perhaps she had already hidden in the wardrobe and had a peep while he was in make-up?

I also found another interview in which he said he wanted to get away from the violence of Spooks and that SAS thing and play a role that was all about lurve. So I'm hoping for some more frock coat and cravat action.

This thread has been one of the joys of MN.

It's been lots of fun. Hope it keeps going a bit longer as I'll miss it. My colleagues keep having to ask wtf i'm crackling at on my lunchbreaks - the local council's IT equipment has had several near misses when I've nearly spat my tea out laughing!

Perhaps we should start a new thread in telly addicts (or possibly, given the amount of adolescent swooning that's going on) in teenagers?

I'm going up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire, but here's something to guarantee you sweet dreams.

Yum!.night night!

I would like to see RA come on here for a chat. I would ask him lots of questions regarding his droolworthy torso motivations for Mr Thornton and Lucas North. I am very interested to know.

Smallbunchofflowers - how much you have to learn - Armitage mania is rife on the interwebs - cough - you just have to know where to look...
