When asked in 2016 which of his chaRActers he'd most like to see in a buddy cop movie Richard said, "I would probably say Guy of Gisborne. Yay, cuz he needs a laugh. He needs to lighten up and I'd like to kind of slap him around the chops a little bit and try to get a smile out of him. He was very serious." I agree. Time to lighten up and have a brilliant ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐! ๐

#thorinthursday meets #guyfriday
BTS at ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ, prepping to play Gizzy and chatting about the 2 weeks spent at Hood Academy honing his archery, riding and sword fighting skills. "You've got grown men from 20 to 40 all in a room being 10 years old again and loving it," Rich said in 2006. "When guest artists come out to work on all the different episodes, you can see in their eyes that they're about to have the greatest adventure of their lives." Happy ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ to all! ๐ค๐น๐๐ก๏ธ
Celebrating GuyFriday AND Fashion Friday today with a quote from Richard on his Robin Hood (s1-2) wardrobe: โOriginally it was going to be a quite traditional knightโs outfit and I think the costume designer just threw it out the window and said, โlook, weโre going to go for medieval biker.โย So thatโs been great fun to work with and actually it helps me a lot to get into the character. When I put that jacket on I really feel like thatโs his armour.โ ๐ค๐ก๏ธ๐น

Today's grammar lesson: Sometimes the same line, spoken by Richard in two dissimilar settings, can carry very different meanings.
In Robin Hood s2e9, when Guy thinks Marian is Robin's hostage (actually an elaborate ruse to prevent Guy from discovering Marian's duplicitous nature) he climbs a tree, wraps his arms around her and assures her she's safe. "You're coming home with me," he says decisively.
Alternatively, in the climactic train station scene of North & South, Richard utters those same words. But as John Thornton, who is unsure of his future with Margaret (despite having just shared several passionate kisses), his tone is decidedly less certain, almost questioning. "You're coming home with me?" he says, hopefully.
What a difference a punctuation mark makes!
๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐! ๐ค๐ก๏ธ๐น This one falls under the category "be careful what you wish for." Richard once said of his role as biker Ricky Deeming in Inspector George Gently (2007), "When I was on a horse for Robin Hood, I kept thinking 'I wish this was a motorbike I had control over'. But after I fell off the bike and broke the clutch handle, I wished I was back on the horse!"
GuyFriday ๐ค๐ก๏ธ๐น sinister and sexy smirks ๐
It's common knowledge that Guy of Gisborne was meant to be the villain of the BBC series Robin Hood, but Richard's charm and sex appeal, even while doing dastardly deeds, shone through. "I wanted people to be repulsed by him, to squirm and feel uncomfortable," he's said, "so part of me feels like I failed." No Rich, you definitely made us squirm, just not in the way you intended! ๐คค๐ฅ๐
