Move over Darcy. Don’t even bother, Captain Wentworth. A new hero has taken center stage in my heart: John Thornton as played by Richard Armitage!
Ho-ly toledo. The palpitations haven’t stopped yet!
I’ve recently become addicted to a BBC show called Robin Hood. LOVE the show and LOVE Guy of Gisborne played by Richard Armitage. So, after some quality time with Google and Netflix, I found more stuff that Armitage stars in.
I rented two episodes of Vicar of Dibley, even though I’ve never watched any other episodes, and laughed so hard I thought I was going to pass out. Sometimes when I’m watching shows by myself I don’t laugh out loud much–I feel little like a crazy loon giggling and cackling when no one else in the room. Seems almost as creepy as referring to myself in the third person… Nope, Becca doesn’t like to laugh out loud when she’s by herself.
Anyhoo, so my next mailing from Netflix was North & South. This little fangirl heart is all a-twitter, lemme tell ya. Armitage plays the part of Thornton like the role was made for him. He’s got such a commanding physical presence–tall and lanky, dark and handsome–and can pull off a brood to make Darcy jealous.
And what better way to introduce my friends to Richard Armitage and North & South than with another perinnial favorite? Here’s a great fan video set to With or Without You by U2. Get thee to a video rental!
You had me at U2! Very creative
I have to recommend you a video by my friend Heather. It is like a Richard Armitage overload.

Angela, great video–definitely drool-worthy.
Thank you for sharing!
Swoon! OMG, swoon! I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never seen this guy before . But I foresee some new shows in my future! Both of those videos were awesome!
Check out the last two episodes of Vicar of Dibley, Richard plays the lovely role of the lovely Harry, another reason to love him!
I’m glad you all like my video! It was my very first fan video and I am kind of proud of it!
Heather, I’m totally impressed–I’m not sure I could do that! And it’s such fun to watch.
Sue, after Robin Hood I saw Vicar of Dibley, and Harry is positively scrumptious! I liked those episodes, so I moved on to North & South.
I love Richard as well. Check out the 2 vids I made in honor of North and South.
