  • I would have so many of his children just so he could read stories to them at night, while I watch. He's so adorable!

  • Ohhh so sexy!

  • WOW!! his voice......velvety perfection!

  • oh goodness, it's only a children's novel but his voice changes things

  • Wow, he makes you want to run out and have ten kids so he'll read to them. lol I think he would get a laugh out of knowing that he's reading these out loud to grown women who's minds aren't innocent when thinking about him. haha

  • He has the sexiest voice EVER!

  • OMG!!! He can tuck me in anytime

  • Well, I definetely shouldn't watch these stories, he has the opposite effect on me... turns me on every single time I watch him, and will not fall asleep ;)

  • so cute! He's a wonderful narrator!

  • Yes Richard I will go to bed whenever you tell me to. As long as you're in that bed.

  • This is so appropriate, because all I think about is bed when he is on screen.

  • Just... <3

    my favourite bedtime story ..

    good night Richard:)

  • he so lovely ...

  • I love the nervous way that he starts, so adorable! <3

  • I've heard Mr. Armitage read a couple of books by Georgette Heyer and he's incredibly talented. He changes his voice to fit the characters just like this and draws you in. He's good! BTW... super HOT in N&S.

  • He did really well. And I didn't base that on looks. ;)

  • Best bedtime story EVER! :) He can read to me anytime

  • Read me a story Richard? Anything at all. Just to hear your voice.

  • good night richard, sleep tight and sweet dream

    hehehee

  • Absolutely charming!  I had to watch it more than once.

  • This is my favorite of all the stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW I'm not going out there :)

  • i'm pretty sure it's the mums who watch this

  • @mysweetsmile23 lol and the women who have absolutely no kids at all hehe

  • @SKA336 hahaha i'm with that lot :D

  • what a cute candy...gosh,If I could,only if I could,I would definitly swallow him up so I can keep him'inside' me forever.lol

  • He's so sweet and charming when he's telling a bedtime story, but wouldn't the kids be saying, "Mom, why is evil Guy telling us a story?" LOL

  • I have no idea what just happened in the story...I was too busy listening to Richard's hot voice :D

  • al the time i was like...awwww.....really that was soooooooooo cute!

  • It's cute, he's so into the story! Love him even more now..

  • He is so so so handsome. It is amazing that a man can be so HOT whilst reading children's stories.

    HE SAYS KNICKERS.... wow.

  • So cute!!!!!

  • i started to get afraid...i wanted to hide under the bed!! more like hide behind richard...hahahah =P

  • How cute is this, wow! Think i shall watch cbeebies bedtime hour every night from now on!

  • 0:25 - 0:28 - just look at the camera angle, the leg.

  • ...And he's still not smiling! Gosh his legs are long, just noticed, from that angle they've got to be about 7feet long (if that's humanly possible!), lol, gr8 actor, thanks 4 posting :)

  • He can cuddle up to me anytime and read me a bedtime story :-p

  • i absolutely LOVE this. =D

  • this wud probs scare the kids

  • he is absolutely brillant!

  • Now see I cant possibly sleep after this.... I am wide awake and day dreaming!

  • If I just listen to this without watching the video, it's really strange because it sounds like Gisborne telling a bedtime story. XD

    I love this guy though.

  • LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    All the little girls are going to be like "mommy he's pretty."

  • that makes me want to go to bed... at mid-day noon.. on hot sunny day...

    often i have seen these kind of shows... they seems tacky and silly.. but.. goodness Richard.. you make me believe no matter how we are, sometimes, we need someone to tell us bedtime stories.. especially, when you tell them in such a way...

  • Aaaw, cute :L

  • I would love to read this story to my kid. Does anyone know who's the author?

  • Wouldn't mind if he read me a story, too :-)

    His voice is so wonderfult, I could listen to him for hours.

    I think you can relly hear that he has a great theatre experience.

  • How about you tuck me into bed??:D

  • If I go to bed, will RA read me a bedtime story too?

  • How old is Richard when he did this??

    I know the Vid states April 2007, but is that the year it took place?

    He voice is the same, but he looks 21 !!! :)

  • "And now, it's time for you to go to bed. Goodnight, see you soon." Oh yes, you'll definitely be seeing me soon... in YOUR bed!

    God, what a cute, sexy, sexy man.

  • oh for gds sake, this man is tooooooooooo sexy for kid's tv. He can read me a bedtime story any time!

  • The cuteness factor on this is ridiculous :)

  • I will go to bed, ONLY if you come with me Richard!!!! hehehehehe

  • cuttteteeee

  • If you want to hear him brilliantly reading (or rather performing) an audio book for 12 hours (kid you not) try The Lords of the North by Bernard Cornwell, available exclusively from BBC audiobooks (you have to call them to order it but it is well worth it). Not for children though.

  • That's so cute!!! =D

  • Its like Ted hughes reading iron man  ,he is so good!

  • This is a great series of TV spots with Armitage reading them. I wonder if the sales of the books he read went up after he read them in 2006? He has done the audio for several audiobooks too and I have bought the book and audiobook of "Sylvester" because he does narrates it. Amazing voice. But I am an American --we love a Brit accent.

  • tis too true! What other books does he read on audio?? I love them for road trips (it happens alot in Cali). Plus he does have the most soothing and yet passionate voice, just judging from his tv and film career.

  • Audiobooks are available of BBC's Robin Hood read by Armitage. Bernard Cornwell's Lords of the North. Georgette Heyer's Sylvester and Venetia. He's currently doing another Heyer novel: A Convenient Marriage. Enjoy!

  • Love this ^^ He's so cute telling betime stories <3

  • sprecato

  • ....Guy?... Is that you??? :P

  • Wish he would cuddle up with me and read me a story ;) xx

  • "and now it's time for you to go to bed"

    only if you come with me richard

  • LOVED him in North and South, he is really hot in that!

  • Oh ya! After watching that, it made the whole stupid season 3 bearable, since Robin was acting so weird. I knew that Guy had a good heart. Haha! But I'm kinda addicted to North and South right now! I need to find another good thing that he's in. Suggestions?

  • @InsideMyMind- Sparkhouse has a great performance by RA

  • @InsideMyMind Spooks season 7 & 8 .... hot hot hot

  • @InsideMyMind Try sparkhouse, a modern reworking of wuthering heights with gender reversal Not his usual sexy charmer stuff but fantastic acting despite an excruciating sex scene (even I blushed for him)

  • Really people, how many kids watching this are going to be distracted by the storyteller's clothes or his tv/film career. You are spoiling the great story.

  • you're right...he should just be shirtless! :D

  • its wierd how its just RA reading a bedtime story but he seems so sexy when he's telling it!! it has to be said, he is just awesome!! :) x

  • heh, i've got told that story when i was young only it was my older brother not sister

  • lovely story and great illustrations - who is the author?

    I like this oldfashion bedtime story - it's cute. and the actor is doing fine

    by the way: what is the fuss about this guy?

  • If you really want to know AloutkaKazawa, you should watch North and South (miniseries by the BBC 2004), Robin Hood (tv show also by the BBC) and I would recommend also The Vicar of Dibley the finale eps just to start ;) Then, you'll tell us :P

  • actually, I've seen both: Vicar of Dibley is hilarious and I loved it; but Robin Hood... not so - I am attached to old tv version with Michael Pread :)

    I admit - the guy is handsome, but maybe the answer is: he's just not my cup of tea

    peace with you :)

  • As the proverbs says: Theres no arguing about tastes and colors ;)

  • True, so true.

    But however not-my-cup-of-tea he might be I love this story I'm not going out there and it's performance here - it's delighful.

    thanx medelle for uploading

  • He is Guy of Gisborne from Robin Hood

  • the AUTHOR - not the actor, dear :)

    but thank you anyway

  • I was surfing in bed unable to sleep, and now I truly am feeling all warm and fuzzy and sleepy :-) His voice is so beautiful and his energy so clear, after a while i wasn't even listening to the words - just letting that gorgeous soothing voice sweep over me. Thanks Richard - you can tell me a bedtime story any time! Good night :-)

  • Love the voice he does for the ghost, cute <3

  • Comment removed

  • lucky little kids :O :)

  • I'm not going to say anything about Richard, all the word were said before. But what a nice poem! I really want to have it in text. Is there anybody who can help me to find the poem?

  • God I really really love him... his voice is wow! and richard is so CUTE in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How charming.This just makes him more appealing to me. I think he could literally read the phone book with that voice and turn women on.

  • i really think this world needs some more of his kind. i mean his voice! the only man i know having his voice is my grandfather, those two are very alike, but he is already gone. and he didn`t have this beautiful british accent.

  • O God! This storyteller for big girls! I won't sleep after such a sexy story)))))))))))))

  • deep sexy voice...hm...pls. tell me is something wrong about this man or is he just gorgeous? :)

  • I really wouldn't mind him sitting by my bed at night and telling me a bedtime story! ;)

  • @BastasGirl His legs are bl^%&*y long

  • @BastasGirl

    sooo true!!! his voice totally gets to me!

  • AHHHH!! omg!! you are kidding me!! this cant be for real!!! OMG!! ahahaha!!! shitting my self!!!!

    Richard is sooo awesome!! oh i dont believe this!!! my eyes are watering!!!!!!! i dont know what to say...! soooooooooo good at telling stories!! I want him to read me a bedtime story, in person, and give me a good night kiss too...

    heehee!!

    <3 u RA!

  • So very sweet! I don't know what I love best his looks or his voice.

  • This is amazing. I love him!

  • He is sexy, scarry and funny. What to think of this?  lol

  • pretty nice voice *sigh* only if he was on tv more!

  • What a great story! I bet kids will love it!

  • this just made him a thousand times more amazing and he was already a million times past the legal limit! whats a girl to do?

  • i think i may adore this one even more than "Winnie in Winter"... and thats saying something ^_~ this man is so sweet, and so very delicious *purrs*

  • so sweet)))

  • lol calm down ladies!

  • He has such a lovely and versatile voice. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's desperately wishing Richard would come and read a me a story!

  • Oh definitely not the only one! His voice can be so sexy when he wants it to be and its nice to know that he can change it up too, to suit kids :P I want him to kiss me good night...someday...someday...

  • You can't say good night and just forget to tuck me in, Richard!

  • I'm going to sleep very well tonight. disturbingly sexy.

  • this is so funny! Its weird that they have all these actors from spooks (and I heard silent witness aswell) to read kids stories.

  • Haha seems to me that this show is more for the mums than the children. With all the hot men reading the stories and all :p

  • oh he is SO HOTT!!!

  • Oh my frackin gawd! After his sexy promiscuous and semi-evil characters...

    This has me in stitches!

  • BWAHAHA! I'm sure richard had fun under the bed with those funny, fluffy monsters...ehheh

  • HAAHAAAAA!!!! Oooh.. this is soo funny after seeing him as Guy of Gisborne!!! I still love him though

  • his voice is hypnotic ! love him so much !

  • too much love

  • ahhhhh that was sexy ; P

  • it basically means the same... i agree with you!

    Online Dictionary:

    1. The same as stated above or before

  • Last Sunday we had him on the screen here in Germany as Ricky Deeming in "George Gently". His german voice was terrible, it destroyed his whole appearance.

  • what a voice..what a face..what a lips...what a body..ok..well...I mean...if he read me bedtime stories..I think I cant sleep XDXD

  • Ditto! =)

    ... the thing is would I want to see him in movies?.. or just keep him on the small screen just for us? Haha

  • ditto?? what does it means?

  • Both, please. I'll see him anyway I can.

  • Haha. True! But sometimes when small screen actors step up to movies, they just kinda, I dunno, like 'change'. Or just arent as cut out for it... well woteva he'd be great on anything, and the more he's in, the better! Hehe

  • Anyways, aww Richard he's so cute! I'd let him read me a story anyday! Great voice! <3

  • Oh Richard, Richard, Richard! I'm sure he's going to be a great father someday. I just wished I could be the mother of those children. If I ever got into Richards bedroom one thing is for sure - I'm NOT going out (of) there - EVER!!! ;o)

  • I wonder if any women have drooled over a bedtime story before. I hope he becomes a father someday (if he's not already). He doesn't seem to say much about his personal life and I respect that. He must at least have nieces and nephews because he tells it perfectly!

  • Well I've heard that his brother Chris(?) has at least one child. If I'm not mistaken Richard said in an interview that he didn't want kids when he was younger but that had changed over time and now he was a bit worried about waiting too long to get kids. He said that he didn't want to be an old father. Have no idea if he has kids by now - haven't heard anything about that. I actually like that he doesn't tell that much about his personal life. He's no "show off" and I love him for it! :o)

  • I know, it makes me respect him even more. And, I know this is pathetic, I really do, but not knowing much about it helps out with the fantasy possibilities, doesn't it?

  • Elwren, I agree with you totaly!! I don't want to know that much about him. I'm soo happy with all the beautiful fantasies I've made up my self about him (and there are by far more nice ones than naughty ones - I promise!) In real life I am very nice and wellbehavied it's just here on YT it let my self go a little. *giggles* So Richard (as if he would read this) I'm harmless - just take it all as a really good laugh!!

    Okej, I think my "confession" is over now... *LOL*

  • I say the same thing about myself, really. Thank heaven for a screen-name. Very few people know what it is, and that makes me happy, because I wouldn't say half the stuff in real life that I let myself get away with here. YT gives me protection, and I'm grateful for that. Richard, if you are reading (ha ha), we are all harmless, I think. We just have a healthy appreciation of your talent and other great attributes.

  • Hey there. Omw i can relate with u two... here on YT i do say wot i wouldn't say out loud lol... i mean my family have no idea jus how much i love RA right now! Im in a phase, and they have no clue lol!

    These fantasies... im always making up things, imagining things - hence my screen-name! I mean phwoar, how can u not fantasise bout Guy or Richard himself? O deary me hopefully i havent embarrassed myself hehe

  • You haven't embarassed yourself any more than the rest of us! :) Besides, with Richard Armitage, how can you help it. We all suffer from a (sadly rare) disease, at least here in the US. I keep trying to spread the RA love, but it seems most of his fans are still in Britain and Europe!

  • Hehe, tis true! N ur right it can't be helped! =P Aww yeah makes sense, America is far, and a big place! O owe the Robin Hood show for introducing me to Richard, what an amazing guy! (lol you can never write guy without thinking of 'Guy of Gisborne!) How did you discover him?

  • Saw him first in Gaskell's North & South and love him still most as John Thornton. But I was not that addicted until I watched the film with his original voice and not the german dubbing (hope this is right). But now it seems to be a disease that will not leave me. Now I love GoG, Ralph John Standring and Harry Kennedy too. My heart has grown very large :-))) just because of a certain british actor. Oh, and my English got much better than it was a year before!

  • Hahaha! I've also improven my english thanks to Richard. (If he only knew what impact he has on us! *LOL*) Yes it really seems like a disease with no cure!

    I don't know which of his caracters I love the most - I love them all. But if I got to "date" one of his caracters in real life I'd prefer the lovely Harry Kennedy. What a cutie! I'm soo jealous of Geraldine for marring him, even though she absolutely deserves him! I just wished I could be so lucky to meet a "Harry" of my own... *sobs*

  • I know, isn't Harry adorable?! I still think I love John Thornton the most, but that might just be because I love that intense stare of his (when he's looking out the window after the riot). OMG. Its hard not to just faint from that expression.

  • It was a couple of months ago... I was home sick with the flu and I searched YT for clips from "Lost in Austen" (I just LOVE Mr Darcy. I wished RA could do Mr Darcy as well! What a treat!) On YT someone recommended N&S. I'd never heard of it but I gave it a try.... OMG *moans* And ever since I've been completely hooked on Richard. I think he's the most gorgeous man alive and in every interview I've seen with him he's just soo nice and cute and lovable... I'm all nuts about that guy! :oP *groans*

  • Ooo 'Lost in Austen' i watched that! Hmm RA as Mr Darcy lol treat indeed! N&S - im intending 2 watch it allwhen i have long enough time and when i can't be disturbed lol. Wow hooked is the right word! Im in that place right now, its all bout him hehe! Yeah so right - nice, cute, lovable - wonderful personality from what iv seen of him so far. Sucha all round nuce guy, ooo if i ever met him!....

  • Oh I know, I know!!! I want to meet him too!!!

  • Tbh I think he'd just get mobbed lol!

  • Yeah, I think you're right. I've heard he is sort of "afraid" of his fans and I can totaly see why, poor fellow! I imagine it would be terrible to have a bunch of "crazy" fans following you around all the time. That must be one of the biggest disadvantages of being famous. Thinking about that makes me happy to be a complete "nobody" and free to move around in public without any commotion. Oh my heart so bleeds for poor Richard! I hope he's not too annoyed with his fans and that he feels loved!

  • I think as long as we tried to act relatively normal he'd be fine. As I said before, I kinda hope he doesn't read YT. Most actors are good at being gracious to their fans as long as they don't cross lines. When I daydream, I never meet him at a premier or at the stagedoor. Its always more . . . I'm coming round the corner and he's there for some reason--with a flat tire, or doing research, or, idk . . whatever. Pathetic me!

  • Lol, well to be male actor, highly likely to have alot of female fans, who do, lets face it, go CRAZY when they see whoever. I'm pretty sure that i'd be 'normal' i'm not the type to go crazy and scream my head off lol. I mean i'm a Christian and the musicians are great, and i've literally been close to some of them and i consider them famous but i was perfectly normal! But yes many are gracious to their fans. No not pathetic, we all daydream, i make up stories all the time lol!

  • No no no, you're not pathetic. If you are - we all are!!! I daydream about all kinds of silly ways of meeting RA...like...I'm at the airport outside London and I get stuck in the elevator with...you know who...and we start talking and become friends... and eventually more.... Or I'm coming round a corner and so is he (in caracter as Lucas North) and he accidently knocks me down. And as the complete gentleman he is he helps me up and insists to take me to dinner as an apology... (Continue...)

  • (Continue..) *LOL* Oh now I feel completely embarrassed by displaying how silly my daydreams are... But as long as I'm happy I try not to mind!!! I do need a man of my own tough!!! *LOL* A man like Harry Kennedy would be great!!! *blushes al over* :o)

  • I'm glad i'm not the only one!

  • I found him through a fanvideo someone did in response to a Rufus Sewell fanvideo (whom I also like, but not as much as RA at this point). I remembered the clips from N&S and I went looking for it and found it on YT (God bless YT!). That's when the craziness started. I don't really have a favorite actor, just a top 5 actor list. Now, I think RA nearly leaves the other 4 in the dust.

  • Yeah, I first saw him in North and South, too. I wasn't actually interested in RH until I saw that Toby Stephens was going to be in it--and then I recognized Richard's name too. How can you beat a show with both of them in it? I got netflix so I could catch up on RH and on all of the MI-5 eps, because after I found out about RH, I kept finding more things he's done too. I first say N&S here on YT. After that I had to buy the movie and its just gone on from there.

  • Looking back at this, I said that I first saw him through Robin Hood, though I randomly remembered whilst lying in bed last night that I saw him Vicar of Dibly aswell... and they came out in the same year didnt they? But the Hood series started before the special Dibley episodes right lol? Id hate to be mixed up lol! But I think im right.... =P

  • You know what? I think I actually first saw him in Shakespeare Retold's version of MacBeth. RA has a very small role as MacDuff, but it was actually that character that had a very powerful impact on me. I don't know why I didn't remember that he played that part til now. In this, he has children at it is so cute. He loses his temper, but then feels bad about it and its sweet. You can find RA's clips from it on YT by searching BBC Shakespeare Retold - Richard Armitage in "MAKBETH".

  • Really? Aww how cute! Defo be checking that out, thanks! Let ya know what i think, even tho i can just feel that it'll be good! Tehe

  • Come to think about it... I just remembered that I saw RA a couple of years ago as sexy badboy "Lee" in "Cold Feet". I do recall that I was very jealous of "Ramona" (his girlfriend in Cold feet). But since RA was quite unknown at that time I'd forgotten all about it until now. Well, there you go... :o)

  • See the infection starts very slowly. You don't even know you have it and then all of the sudden it just takes over and you are completely, utterly obsessed with the man so that no other actor will ever be able to impress you as much as he does. What is this disease called, anyway? Armitagitis? Madafadamash? What?
