This is SO weird - only last night, I had a totally inappropriate dream about this man........damn it was good........Thought I'd miss Adam but, meh, not so much now!! Sad about Ros though - brilliantly commanding. This Beth person does not measure up in looks, clothes or general ability to snap baddies like a twig with an eyebrow raised.

cupcakesandbunting · 28/09/2010 20:51

Ladies, don't say that I never give you anything...

It appears from some of the comments that we may have some competition Angry

I must admit that I have not watched Spooks before but saw RA in an advert for it and thought mmmm, looks interesting.
Yes, I think I might be watching it again next week. Am I shallow?

cupcakesandbunting · 28/09/2010 20:54

Very shallow, Sirius.

I definitely would, given half a chance!

Apparently there's a scene coming up in this series of Spooks involving a kitchen table!!! Not sure when.

North and South..thud
Gisborne..swoon
Strike Back...phwoar!!

And I hear RA is in the Captain America movie filming now.

cupcakesandbunting · 28/09/2010 21:00

A scene involving a kitchen table?Don't get us all excited in case it turns out to be Richard reading the newspaper at the kitchen table or eating a croissant.

Oh my lord.

SiriusStar · 28/09/2010 21:00

Strike Back? What is this?

SiriusStar · 28/09/2010 21:08

Oh ok, just looked at the trailer and have come over all unnecessary.

Watch out for the speedos

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 28/09/2010 21:51

Oh, I say.

Meow75 · 28/09/2010 21:54

You DO all know that RA was the narrator/voiceover for the recent 3 part Lost Land of the Tiger?!?

Even if yo don'r give a toss about tigers (I'm a Science teacher and major big cat fan), his voice regularly commenting on who was going where to look at what was ACE!!!

AND I've got him reading a book by Georgette Heyer (Stephen Fry's favourite novelist) on my iPod, which is just heaven with the headphones on, eyes closed doing not much of anything but dreaming!!! LOVELY

BTW having the headphones on is SO much better - it's like having him delivered directly into my brain!!!

cupcakesandbunting · 28/09/2010 21:55

I'd like him delivered directly into
my pnats

I'm actually getting quite concerned that I seem to be facing some competition for Harry... Back off! He's MY Electra Complex Crush

cupcakesandbunting · 28/09/2010 22:01

Nobody gives a crap about Harry!

OP posts:
missbeehiving · 28/09/2010 22:06

I'm now actually questioning my moral compass, because quite frankly I would have done Lucas, Adam and Tom. And Harry at a push. Draw the line at Malcolm though.Wink

Good job I don't work in M15. I wouldn't have been able to concentrate. Grin

fuschiagroan · 28/09/2010 22:08

About 4 people have said so! I am very concerned. Very.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 28/09/2010 22:17

I imagine you are familiar with

fuschiagroan · 28/09/2010 22:23

'I quite like witches, and furry colourful monsters. They just make me laugh'

That's his street cred shot to shit forever. Wait until the terrorists see this!

MonarchoftheGarioch · 28/09/2010 22:29

See, I think he looks like a grown-up Daniel Radcliffe?

Still would though. RA that is, not Harry Potter.

cupcakesandbunting · 28/09/2010 22:36

That is like how i think that Gerard Butler looks like a grown-up James Macavoy. I would only do Macavoy though :)

Love RA - hope they are not going to write him out of Spooks now.

It works a bit like one of those 2p machines you get at the seaside. A character starts off in the background before moving to become a main character, then they get pushed off the end to make way for the new 2p's in the background.

Now that this new Dimitri has joined, I hope Lucas isnt under threat.

DilysPrice · 28/09/2010 22:44

missbeehiving you have missed out my all time second favourite Spooks crush, the lovely and devious Wagner-loving Jools Siviter of MI6 - I still miss him, but apparently Hugh Laurie is now otherwise engaged.
Danny had his moments too, but didn't take his shirt off enough.

I need to point out that I'm not really tragically Spooks-obsessed, I just happened to have picked up a cheap box set of Season 2 to watch while I do the washing up.

DirtyMartini · 28/09/2010 22:46

Like the notion of getting fanciable men delivered directly into one's pants. Would be good if this could be done in some kind of teleporting manner. One moment they are far away, then a little whoosh noise and presto. In your pants.

ShadeofViolet · 28/09/2010 22:47

I liked Raza Jaffrey's character, but I cant remember what his name was.

I would!
