Waiting for Strike Back

-
Oh SNAP! Just saw a Strike Back promo on Sky1. A proper, long trailer, probably about a couple of minutes long. Didn't realise it was that to begin with, until I saw Richard Armitage. Then all of a sudden, the telly had my full attention! Gee, I wonder why? Holy squee! Could it be that he looked angsty and just... amazing?

The Commander in Chief in uniform. Leading us poor,
defenceless and most of all exceedingly hormonal ladies
into estrogene-infused fits of gleeful delight and awe.

It mainly featured Richard and Andrew Lincoln, but it looks to be really good. Shame the trailer didn't feature Toby Stephens. I can see what attracted Richard to the part. It just seems like the character has issues coming out the wazoo. Oh, it's going to be awesome! Can't wait! :D It's said to be shown starting 1 May, six parts or so. That's at least 280 minutes of joy.

Here's a short promo, only because I can't see a longer one on YouTube and kinda "take what we can get":



Richard Armitage Net have a gallery with the pictures from the trailer, though. Move out, soldier! We ain't the Armitage Army for nowt!

Totally squeeable from the other angle too.

Oh and to top it all off, the second Santander ad just came on as I'm typing this. Swooooooon! Actually... I've realised I'm already a Santander customer. The company who handle one of my credit cards was taken over by them. Not that I'd go running to them to beg them to open an account just because RA's doing the voiceovers. That'd be silly. It just makes me slightly tingly to know I'm already a customer. And that's soooo freakin' sad! Sheesh! And I can't believe I just admitted to it as well. *cough* See what he reduces us too? Giggly teenagers, regardless of our age! And the clincher? We totally don't mind.

    Oh, you should see the long one, Phylly, it's totally scrummy! :D

    And yeah, even though we're grown-up but are reduced to giggly teenagers, at least we have company! If we were on our own, it would be kind of weird, but now there's a great big crowd of us and I'm really grateful for it. Thanks for being there, girls! :D

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

The Quest to read everything Jane Eyre

...before they go as mad as the secret wife in the attic? I aim to find out! :) This is where it all began. Okay, I don't mean I aim to read Jane Eyre prequels, sequels, spin-offs and inspired bys/based ons until I actually go insane, more like, how many can I manage to read before I get thoroughly fed up with the whole thing. Here's the cunning plan ... (updated 13 December 2012)

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why
