  • This is so beautifully done, congrats! I'm in tears atm very touching!!

  • Amazing video! You are so talented. I'm sorry about the illnesses your family members have gone/are going through :(

  • Poor Richard, his characters always get the shaft... when writers decided to have Guy kill Marian it pretty much killed the entire series. He's such a phenomenal actor and added the depth to North's character that a script alone can't create. Your video is awe-some! Great clips timed perfectly to the song (can't ever go wrong with Coldplay!) and the action sequences at the end were so powerful, I got emotional watching the rise and fall of such an amazing character. Thanks for the tribute : )

  • Going into series 10 tomorrow looking forward to seeing Harry and Ruth again but still absolutely heartbroken what they did to our wonderful Lucas...He was the most incredible,beautiful but tortured soul...Richard you were amazing...So sorry what the writers did in series 9...at least we have these brill vids to watch...thankyou so much Heather for giving me my fav Lucas vid

  • This is one of the best fanvids of Lucas North I have ever seen. Good choice of music and of clips. Perfect rhythm. Thank you1

  • Wow. That took my breath away. Don't suppose you've got a 'Harry Pearce' fanvid up your sleeve?

  • Amazing vid.  Brilliant. :)

    If they kill Harry or Ruth this season I will go FUCKING MENTAL!!!!!

  • My undeniable favorite of HeathDances's videos...

  • Well done! It's a really good job :) i wish i had the same talent to match songs with scenes :S i envy you :D point is I LOVED IT :) thank you :)

  • Wow, that was surprisingly good! Job well done.

  • Thank you very much for that great video. It is also my favorite one of Spooks. Magnificently done!!

  • Great video, as always, Heather. I agree with you and all the other fans who think the writers should be flogged for what they did to Season 9. It is to RA's credit that he was able to act such a betrayal of his character. And pay no attention to the haters on YT - - I think they're just trying to bait you.

  • I thought your selection of song, your fades and vid cuts as well as your frame selections were spot on. Truly great. I am still grief-stricken over what they did to this noble character and the song is so poignant that it moves me to tears. I can't really watch much of S9 because it breaks my heart. There is so much hate and sadness in the world that this is not the place for more of it.

  • @008AnnMarie Thank you so much AnnMarie! I feel the same way you do about the last season. :(

  • @pinnoable1 Thanks for the comment on the ACTUAL video. Did you think Lucas was shit before the ending of Season 9? My guess is NO. This video was made before the writers messed up his character so if you want to talk about how Spooks sucks perhaps you should do it on a forum/discussion board!

  • @pinnoable1 So if you don't like Lucas or Richard Armitage then why did you watch this video? Since clearly in the title it says Lucas North in it. I mean if you want to talk crap about Richard Armitage then I suggest you don't do it on my videos because they mainly consist of him.

  • @pinnoable1 If you don't like the actor or the character, then why come onto a video specifically about the character when all you're gonna do is bad-mouth him to the fans who actually care? It's simply rude, impolite, and stupid. At least learn some manners and courtesy. Go comment on some forum or another if you just wanna talk bad about the character, your rude words have nothing to do with this video that is dedicated to Lucas.

  • great vid, I cant believe this series was back in 2008!

  • Great vid!

  • It's my own fault for reading, but I can't believe what I just read! I'm on episode 5 of s9 :*(

  • simply beautiful...

  • i tihnk the writers just copped out and took an easy route by turning lucas into a nutjob. im quite annoyed about it. its not a particularly clever or big way of writing.

  • @ruideng111 They did copped out, if you listen to the commentary on the Series 9 DVD, they basically just said that they thought this was interesting and they never actually thought about an explanation of how Lucas/John pretended to be someone to get inside MI5. It's simply lazy stupid writing. I am deeply disappointed and lost faith in these writers. This video just reminds me of everything that is amazing and good about Lucas and how much I miss him!! It makes me cry!

  • 1. Where the guitar 'steps in' in the song, the visual in the video matches perfectly.......great idea with the grid in the backgroud and the floating pictures over it!

    2. It is a shame how this character turned out in the end....

  • Just watched the last spooks ep. I cried my eyes out! I wanted to hug Lucas! :((((

  • @audreycooper10 Me too! At least now Lucas is finally resting in peace. He deserved the peace!

  • I'm still in morning, still can't believe they turned him into a psychopath then killed him off, could they not had let him make it right and tell us why he did what he did

    :'(

    Great Video by the way XD

    I hope your mum is alright, I'm sorry about your aunt (I know it's late but I thought I would say)

  • @katyshearsmith It's a good thing I have seen the last episode or else I would be upset over the last couple of comments on my YT videos. People revealing the ending of Spooks! I think it would be nice to refrain from commenting about it for a few days because it spoils it for other people who have not seen it yet. Thank you. My mom is great and thank you for the condolences. :-)

  • @HeathDances Soory

    And its good to hear about your mum (':

  • What a great video - the song matches it perfectly. Thanks for sharing RA with us!

  • I'm watching this after the end of the series, and I find myself crying yet again! Oh deary me... Poor Lucas.

  • @misssyndrome The writers just completely destroyed all our good memories of Lucas, even looking at it now, they just made it all into a lie! I hate it! They ruined everything I love about Lucas, this video just makes me cry!

  • Watching this video again after seeing what we have been shown in Series 9 Episode 7, it just breaks my heart. What they have turned Lucas into in Series 9 is just too hard for me to swallow, especially when this video shows all the amazingly good and loyal things that Lucas did. So sad.

  • @BetaArtemis I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still really upset over it!! I can't believe the writers did that!!

  • @HeathDances I'm still hoping against all hope that the writers have some genius plan to turn things around, but I just don't know. I just can't swallow that this character who was so loyal and good for the last two series is just a straight-up psychopath! I mean, what happened to the character being ambiguous, complex, and having both shades of light and dark?

  • You are fantastically talented, HD!!! You inspire me to try things I never thought I'd do, and your videos alone brighten my day :) (I am so sorry to learn of your aunt. I sincerely hope your mum is doing alright. All the best to you and your family!)

  • @ImaginaryBiscuit Thank you so much. :-)

  • I only just got shown spooks this monday! I can't believe I haven't seen it before! Not only is it MI5, it's Richard Armitage AND he's an agent XD *Drool*

    Amazing video, Beautiful.

    And although I don't know you and it's months late, I'm sorry about your Aunt.

  • Just found this video and it is fabulous. Thank you for sharing this and letting us enjoy RA.

    All Love

    Padme A'Tea

  • wow, this was really good. I have never watched this show, but would really, really like to! I can't seem to find it anywhere either to rent or to purchase! Getting tired of American productions; would like to sample some British works!

  • @lorrainewands You can find episodes online. Message me if you need links. Spooks is a great show, it's probably one of the best I've seen, it's truly the ONLY show I know that is SO unpredictable. I also recommend watch Merlin, Doctor Who, or Torchwood, they are all British shows that are wonderful, although I don't know if you are a Sci-Fi or fantasy fan. But either way, these three shows are personal favorites of mine along with Spooks.

  • Oh wow!

  • thanks for this great video

    best of all like videos

  • @evangelinejames the first episode of season 7

  • @evangelinejames the first episode of season 7

  • @evangelinejames the first episode of season 7

  • @evangelinejames the first episode of season 7

  • Anyone know which episode is 3:48? And seriously, this character is so amazing!!!

  • @BetaArtemis It's the last episode of season 7.

  • First moment I saw him, I was immediately drawn to his character. A great actor and a great character!!! Brilliant video!!

  • So sorry for your loss and the troubles you are going through. Beautiful video, lovely song.

  • Tom. Adam, Lucas, Who do you think is the one?

  • @1989809 The one what? I don't understand what you are asking? lol

  • I love all your videos!!! Keep making them they are great! Thanks!

  • Excellent! Thank you for your creation & sharing...

  • what an absolutely fantastic video, must have taken a lot of hard work and one of my all time favourite songs, which is so apt for the content.

  • This song should have been used as the Haiti charity record, not one about suicide, how crazy is Simon Cowell. What was he thinking.

  • Fabulous video, thanks soooooo much for uploading.

  • This man is just sooo drop dead gorgeous, sex on legs ... a beautiful man. I might start stalking him haha

  • I think he should be the next james bond after daniel craig. He'd be an amazing bond i think, he's perfect for it, tall, dark, handsome and english, and the right age.

    He's what a leading man should be and look like, he can do the dark brooding stuff like guy in robin hood or thornton in north and south. And he can also do the romantic sensitive stuff too, he's wonderful and sexy.

  • Is the name of this character some kind of a joke for a guy who played in North and South? Very English sense of humour, I believe :)

  • My second name is north.. i dont think its meant to be a joke just a second name chosen a random

  • I found that kinda ironic too. I doubt its anything more than a coincidence though.

  • @AloutkaKazawa I never made the connection and its so obvious...great catch.

  • Love it

    Well done

  • No word to describe how great is your vid. Really love it :)

  • Beautiful. Just stunning.

  • WOW!!!

  • there is nothing to fix....RA IS PERFECT!!!!

    Great vid:))) 5/5

  • Oh that is so tragic. And yet there is so much pretty in there. You definitely need an award for video editing. That was one of the best videos I've ever seen. I adore Lucas and Richard. *sigh*

    Thanks for sharing this and a beautiful selection for the song too.

    Lovely! Ten millions stars! :)

  • i've never even watched Spooks and this is making me cry....

  • WOW - Thank you - I think this is probably your best yet! Love it.

  • Oh wow! Awesome video..perfect song, beautifully edited. Damn, is he good-looking! Kudos to the maker!

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing Job! Bravo!

  • does anyone know what episode is at 3:47? thanks!

  • i believe it is in last episode of the 7th season of spooks.

  • Season 7 ep 8.

  • Brilliantly edited :)

    5/5 and Faved :)

  • I don't think I've ever cried so much. I miss Guy of Gisborne. He's just gaaawwgussss!

    So hooked to spooks right now (so I can gaze at him of course)

  • Oh wow! That was so much more amazing then I thought it was going to be, perfectly edited and really really beautiful :'D you've managed to make me both happy and sad, and you're right, perfect song choice for him, very emotional and im totally amazed right now! ;D great job!

  • this is amazing - what a beautiful man Richard Armitage is

  • This is an amazing fan video! The maker should be really proud of themselves! You have some serious editing skills!

  • I made it and thank you so much!!

  • Yeah, this is one of my favorite Spooks videos of ALL TIME. Awesome job!

  • Great video -- my favorite RA/Lucas video -- RA + Coldplay = WIN

  • Love it.

    Favourite + 5stars :)

    Great song choice :)

  • Wow that was Great!! definetly deserves more views :D

  • I only just noticed, he has a wonderfully shapely forehead...

  • wow, that's awesomely put together! Only two days left until the next series!!! *is beyond excited*

  • ME TOO! I can't wait!! Thanks for the comment! ;-)

  • My boss is away and my YouTube and the Lucas North playlist came out to play . . . as I am prepping for the Luscious One's return. Love it, as always, heather

  • Only two days left!! SQUEE!!

  • That's pretty good for a boy named Jennifer.

  • I see sparkleplenty101 is back with a new account! Crazy as ever! LOL

  • So Sparkle, you still have the gender identity issues going on, I see! LOL.

  • LOL!

  • Instant fav! Superb video!

  • Great video, great song, great man. Well done and thanks for putting this together.

    I love Richard Armitage, IS SO TALENTED, SO HANDSOME & SO HOT!!!

    RA is the best!!!

  • A-MAZING. Best song, best guy, best series.

    LOVE IT! Congrats! :)

  • Well done!

  • "And the tears come streaming down your face

    When you lose something you can't replace

    When you love someone but it goes to waste

    Could it be worse?"

    awesome music AND viDEO!!! <3

  • What a superb job! The part at 2:48ish is so progessional and well done. The increasing pace, nearly frenetic near the end fits perfectly, as does the slower pace at "i will try to fix you." Remarkable talent, thanks for posting. And so glad to hear your mom and aunt are going strong. Those of us who've lost people to cancer know how important support is....know that alot of complete strangers will keep your mom and aunt in their thoughts, sending good wishes...

    Great video!!

  • wonderful job!!!!

  • BEAUTIFULL AND PERFECT!!

  • Beautifully made. I am addicted to RA lately. This show comes on in the states but it is about 3 seasons behind where I am located. (sigh) This is the only Lucas North source I have so feel free to post anything else in the future with RA as LN.

  • As usual it's absolutely fantastic and tears your heart out. I just want to get in there and mend him any way I can..............

  • was sceptical about the song but this is very well made!

    And im watching in HD its AWESOME :) !

  • Absolutely beautiful video.

  • It's very professional. Are you in the biz? You have excellent graphic talent.

  • Thank you so much!! I am not in the video editing biz but I wish! I am a graphic designer though ;-)

  • I feel almost inappropriate watching that - so very intimate... and yet I will no doubt watch it again a hundred million times! Congrats again HeathDances!

  • Heather! Just another comment to say that this video is perfect from the beginning to the end. Awesome timing, brilliant "grid" effects, fantastic overlays... I could continue a lifetime!!

    And I noticed that you edited the song? The CD version I bought (thanks to your vid BTW) is 45 seconds longer.

    If so, then I have to add that the audio 'cut' is completely unnoticed. FANTASTIC editing!

    Loong ago that I faved this and gave 5*. Ten million stars are not enough LOL

    And it's on my iPod ;-D

  • Thank you so much!! he he Yes I edited the song at around 3:30 and then I attached the end of the music ;-) The fast part went on a little longer than I wanted! LOL Glad you bought the CD! I have been a fan of Coldplay for awhile now and was squeeing when I heard Richard likes them too! he he Thank you so much for the comment and I have it on my ipod too! ha ha!

  • thank you so much. T_T I cried the first time I watched this. thank you

  • wow, it's fantastic! i love RA in Spooks, and i'm not a fan of Coldplay but this song goes so good with him. well done! Favourited!

  • Brilliant in every way.Great editing and a true feel for the song and Richard's portrayal of Lucas.Well done,clever you!

  • love..love...love ur video..thx

  • Your videos just keep getting better as I go down your list:) This is one of my favorites, and Coldplay's lyrics fit beautifully. You really have a knack for this. Thanks again!

  • Beautifully done, as always! Your timing and editing are perfect, and the song fits beautifully as well. Lucas North's story has had a profound effect on my imagination (or maybe just RA) but this video emphasizes all the reasons why I care about the character so much! Thank you.

  • Honestly, this video is gorgeous! Fantastic editing and theme! I seriously wish I had your talent!

  • Heather, this was brilliant! I have yet to truly experience Richard as Lucas North...I'm having to wait for the DVD of Spooks series 7 to be released in the US.  And, this amazing vid makes the waiting all the more painful! LOL! Loved it!

  • You could always order the UK versions! You would just need to get a multiregion DVD player but it might be worth it with all the Richard stuff! LOL It is a great season with Richard in it! Thanks!!

  • Oh, wow, your videos are always so amazing! Thank you so much for this look at Lucas North!

  • Hi HeathDances! I just wanted to tell you that thanks to this video I've gotten completely hooked on Coldplay!! I have of course heard them before but I didn't think much of them. And then I got to really listen to the lyrics of "Fix you" and OMG I just felt like crying and smiling at the same time!! What a lovely comfort to think that "Lights will guide me home". And lovely Lucas North is really someone you would like to cuddle up with... He seem like someone who really need some tender care...

  • I am so glad my video had that effect on you!! Actually this is probably my favorite video I have done because of the way I was feeling and how the words relate to my life at the moment. When I finished it and watched it all the way though I just sat there and cried. I love Coldplay they are one of my favorite groups! Thanks again for the great comment!

  • That was awesome!!!! 5 Stars.

  • 5 thumbs up!...great job!

  • Sexy, gorgeous, fit, want-him-so-bad!!!!!!!Thanks so much for this, Nina...xoxoox

  • *drools* Fantastic as always. :) He's SO fit!

  • OMG!!! Heather, I saw this a while back but just watched it again and it is spectacular! Fab,fab, fab! 5stars =)

  • Very, very fine work, well done. Perfect!

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! It's so amazing, you are so talented!

    That is fantastic about your mum and aunt and I know exactly what you mean by keeping occupied..

    Again, this was brillopads!!

  • my prayers are with your mum and aunt :)

  • What is Spooks about?

  • It is about the MI5 agents in London. They take care of national security. It is a really well written show! I like it a lot even if Richard Armitage was not in it. ;-)

  • I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video!!!

    Thanks so much for sharing your great talent in such a moment but I understand sometimes you need to be occupied just for not being very worried...

    I'm very happy for you and your mum and aunt for the great news.

    Keep making this fantastic vids!

  • The video is beautiful, and the actor is a super man, Oh God is divine ...  I wish your mother and your aunt a speedy recovery

  • I just realized this was a Coldplay song, and that Richard once said in an interview he loved Coldplay and was looking forward to their concert in Budapest. Did this affect your choice of the music for the video?

  • Actually it didn't! I remember him saying that but I picked the song because of what it means to me and how I was feeling at the time with my mom and aunt but I also felt it fit the character Lucas North too. ;-) Thanks for the comments!!

  • just watched it in HD and on full screen - OMG! This is one of the best fan videos I have ever seen. Thanks a lot!

  • I've just been on my first trip to London/England ever - and it was great! Of course I did hope to see darling Richard - but NO I didn't. :o(

    But I think I sort of came close to... U see I acutally met his colleague... Hermione Norris (Ros Myers)!! *laughing with a big smile all over my face* Of all famous people i London I see someone who knows gorgeous Richard!!! *LOL* Oh yes I'm nuts about lovely Richard!!! I guess it was just as well I didn't met him..I'm not sure I could have behaved...:oD

  • Believe me or not but u are REALLY talented. Your video match the lyrics in 100% which is very rare. i'm looking forward to your next videos.

    GREAT JOB :)

  • HeathDances, needless to say many of us romantics at heart have been moved to tears by your exquisite videos and this is a prime example. You have a gifted knack of matching every lyric of a perfect song with the absolute scenes!! I watch this video of a heartbreaking RA as Lucas North at least once a day. It sort of diminishes one's problems of the day! Thank you for your master creations of special effects and editing! How lovely you have enhanced an already beautifully talented actor!!

  • I'm siting here in the dark with tears in my eyes... Partly after seeing your beautiful video... and partly after reading about your good news... I'm soo happy for you and your family....But it made me think about my own father who died of cancer 2 years ago... Life is precious and we better make the best of it while we can... And watching beautiful Richard is definetly one of lifes good things! Thank you, HeathDances!!!

  • that was amazing, definitely my favourite!

    great choice of song too, love it.

  • i forgot how great this video is, i love richard armitage especially when he plays broken characters its his best character to play i think.

    i love how great it goes with the music!

  • You're so good at these videos - awesome, just totally awesome!

  • Thank you so much for all your comments!! ;-)

  • Loveed it !! amazing

  • Aww, what a lovely video, outstandingly beautiful..

  • OMG, that was so brilliant. Perfectly edited. Just beautiful...like the man himself!

  • The more I watch it The more I find it PERFECT!!!

  • This video is my favorite video on youtube. I love making videos/ movies, but I hope to one day be as talented as you are. Thank you so much, and please continue to make these high quality videos. :-)

  • Hi Heather - I know I commented before on this but after watching it for 4 months (its on my ipod and storm) and sharing it with anyone who will look - I still feel the same...it is just perfection and my favorite Richard Armitage video. It is a real work of art! Thanks for posting all of his interviews - they are a window to the man himself and your Sexy Back 1 & 2 plus Womanizer are great. But to me Fix You is perfect! I hope RA has seen it. Good luck on your next project...

  • HeathDances, that was bloody brilliant! welldone!

  • I'm not sure if I've already commented or not but I really wanted to tell you what an awesome editing job you did. The video really sends a message/feeling across, it isn't just one of those vids that make you drool over Richard's sexyness :P Keep it up!

  • Thanks everyone for all your comments and warm wishes for my mom, aunt and myself! I am sorry I can't get to them all but I do appreciate them more than you know!! Happy Easter!!

  • Heather,

    Of all your videos this is my favorite. You are so talented, and you have created a masterpiece. If Richard saw this he would be honored. P.S. You have great taste in books, movies, actors and music!!! :-)

  • Aww thank you so much!! That means a lot!

  • This is beautiful...I am so happy for your Aunt and Mom, Thank God they are better! I love this song, and Richard, and you did a really good job!

  • Intense!

    Glad to hear your mom and aunt are cancer free! That's fantastic!

  • This is a very beautiful video and it has become special for me as well, and every single time I hear this song, I remember this video. I'm very glad to hear your loved ones are recovering. Lots of hugs and thank you very much for sharing this.

  • This is a beautiful video - thankyou for sharing. This song means alot to me too and I wish I could fix my mum aswell.

    I'm so so glad to hear that both your mum and aunt are recovering. Wish you all the very best for the future and stay strong! x x

  • Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video, it seems to be very important.

    Brilliantly sad, yet hopeful and beautifully made. Top marks and I hope things work out for the best. x

  • For several days I've been wanting to comment on this video but everytime I tried I would get choked-up and I think you know why Heather, but I really wanted to say how much I love this video, how utterly perfect it is, and it also has become something special for me.

    God bless.

    xoxox

  • WOW! Really absolutely a perfect video with a fabulous song.

    Thank you.

  • ooo god he's a hotty totty!

  • I love this video, it is my favourite clip with Richard! I find it absolutely perfect. I added it to a post in my blog about SPOOKS and I credited you, of course!

  • Ooooh. 3:41 Awesome!

  • muy bueno y el tambien.

    compisicion good is a artistaza. thanks.

  • WOW! There was so much angst and emotion in that video. You have really captured the essence of Lucas North brilliantly.

    .... oh Lucas, he is so beautiful both on the inside as well as on the outside.

    I can't stop kissing the screen every time I see him.

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!!

    HE LOOKS SOOO HOT IN IT!!!!

    I just want to give him a hug *hug*!!!

  • AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL. Your video touched me in two ways. You presented Lucas's story so beautifully, it really made me sympathise with him. Perfect song. The second reason is your comment about your mom&aunt, and I had that in mind, too, as I watched the vid. About 6 months ago, I felt the same way, because of my uncle who is now free of cancer (hope it lasts). So, my sympathy goes to you too. Hold on. Cheers!

  • AMAZING video!!! I love the way they ended his story 'cause his ex-wife could come back 2 him & if not he'll be really vunerable with other women.....

  • Heather this is fabulous! I love the grids near the end. Very powerful.

    Lila
