Richard Armitage reading bedtime story

[TheKaratekid1998]

PEEEENNNNGGGG!

[laurajojo64]

OMG! **thud**

[GallagherGirl07]

ohmygosh...... :DDDDD <3<3<3

[Genesislinx]

LOL. Love that he's giving smoldering, sexy gazes in the camera while reading about Willy Woolcoat...lol

[ClassicsWEREandARE]

this makes me want winter to come sooooo bad!!!! it's too hot right now....i wouldn't mind having him snuggle up with me when winter arrives!!! haha

[TGQwerty]

i wouldn't let my kids fall asleep near this Dick, or Richard watch out

[LostInTheToyBox]

I can see why they picked him for bedtime hour, he's definitely what I want to think about before I go to sleep ;)

[bellydancetrainer]

loved this! Great storyteller. And I agree that Richard's voice sounds a lot more English in this than in Robin Hood.

[OrlyRupertfan]

*snort* wand... 

[TheDirtyDiana1989]

THIS IS ART ^^

[midori81]

oh dear... instead of feeling sleepy, i feel so much awake now, can't help it, i want more!!!

keep talking RA, i will indulge my eyes & my ears, watching you & listen to your deep voice until i fall asleep :)

[Roxanneactress]

My God! He sounds sooo different to what he does in Robin Hood- I don't know if he puts on a voice in the show or not, but he sounds much more... English in this clip. Maybe it's just my imagination!

[SatinBlade]

At the "sleep tight" I actually melted away

[RabbitDance]

night night storyteller

:-O

-_-

[MsTiny72]

That will put you to sleep with a smile on your face :):)

[doctortrax]

Oh my, what a big wand you've got there, sir! Care to snuggle up and make some magic happen? :D

*collapses in a fit of giggles*

Seriously though, why isn't RA in any of the HP films? That would be soooooooooo perfect. <3

[iammadness]

@doctortrax Because he might steal the show from everyone else? XD

[doctortrax]

@iammadness Yeah, probably. Will have to settle for him being in the Tolkien franchise instead. ;)

[Hylode]

I want to be the Mother of his children and love him forever... he should tell me bedtime storys every  night.. *sigh*

[Lusy81]

OMG...he has a voice able to seduce very angel :)

[mrsjameshook]

This is my favourite of the RA bedtime stories. It's that 'Night night, sleep tight' at the end. Aaaaah....<333333

[Maryneonlyone]

It is sooo sweet... HE is so sweet in this show, especially after Sir Guy))) Lucky children)

[boothbabe12]

I had to study and analyse this performance for my performing arts course. It was an awsome excuse to watch RA again and again :D

[sauronsdaugther]

Lovely video. Shame the audio is not synchronized with the video.

[lisalilsmartass]

okay richard i'll spend my bedtime with you...but only if you come without youre clothes...wow if you close your eyes and listen to richards sexy voice...its like from heaven!!

[pampurredpuss]

I'll wrap up warm with you anytime Richard.

[FantasmaLuna]

I love that he gets into character when he narrates the dialogue. So cute! XD

[vierulik]

bedtime story by Richard every night at my bedroom... oooooh

[doctortrax]

"Time for you to snug up in bed too" - what, with you, sir? Oh... go on then...! :D

[amxsmith]

i love the mm...

[jaymzangel]

omg he is so so cute! nice that all the mummies have something yummy to look at so they can enjoy the bedtime story as well =D I'd like him to tell me a bedtime story ;)

[amxsmith]

oh i agree

[zigbob2007]

he's so sweet

[prettybutterfly2007]

I'd pay for a tape/cd of stories read by Richard even his voice is gorgeous !

[Iwannago21859]

Seems like there's a big subtextual warning about global warming here.

[Imple1]

Lol, that's right, because we're not watching it to swoon over RA at all!

We're all middle-aged women concerned about the future of the planet...oh, who am I trying to kid?!?!? ;)

[queenjaime]

I bet the four-year-olds that this is actually aimed at don't appreciate that the CBeebies Bedtime Story Chair has never been graced by so attractive a butt.

[queenjaime]

He should totally have his own channel. I don't know why CBeebies bothers with all the rubbish shows when they could have this guy reading stories all day.

[areyourunningaway]

Uhh, nice body and nice shirt :D

[dancingwithghosts]

i remember the winnie the witch stories. :D

[saraito]

think he would he's a great dad!8->

[SPOLIERZ]

ha ha ha he looks so funny im use 2 seein him sooo serious her his like so slow sorta

[Athenav1]

Yea he can tell me a bed time story any time.

[coccinelle1973]

I want Richard tell me bedtime story pleeease!

[fen1801]

RA is so cute...*sigh*

[Cellogirl93]

Bedtime hour with Richard Armitage? YES PLEASE!

Yum.

[LittleAngel1977]

He had me at hello...

[livmlarsen]

haha:-D Me too

[americangrl55]

aww that's so cute. he's such a hottie! =]

[glamstilllives]

out of sync!!!!!!!! :(

[carolinha76]

My little niece watched this story at the kindergarden and she and some other children were crying with his "Abracadabra". Poor souls, they were so afraid, and in Spanish it is Abracadabra too, but the way he says so scared them tooo much. :)

[babybaerblue]

I am surprised that RA reads children stories. A very good idea. He can be really good. I hope there are more stories about him.

[ashamed30something]

I am afraid I have to agree with MesAusten, I shouldnt be all flushed after a childrens story..... its wrong!!!!

[avagke]

:O...XD

[cookiemol]

ooh- I hope something exciting happens... hee hee...

[poziomeczka22]

I'm not sure who wanted to watch it more... children or their mums :) (I think that mums like watch it much more :D!)

[mesausten]

I am so wrong! I don't think I should be having these feelings from a children's story. I must say my Man Candy Richard Armitage is VERY versitile

[piratelover20]

I love this! Its funny to see the guy that usually plays the romantic hero reading bedtime stories to little children that I highly doubt appreciate him as one. Haha. He really has a great voice for this! Excuse me while I rush off to buy his audiobooks.

[Lobetta90]

it works! I'd like to go to bed now... with him XD

[Morrigan421]

His voice is amazing...hehe..he...I think he could make anyone go to sleep...NOT with him, as everyone seems to want to do...

[TheRealMizz]

He'd make a wonderful Father (wonder if he'd need any assistance?!?!?!?!)

[EmilyGreene1984]

I agree, although I hear he has a girlfriend and has been in a serious relationship with her for at least 2 years. Anyway, I imagine that he will be a great father one day and his girlfriend is VERY lucky.

[Itsumopuppy]

he's usually such a serious actor, so this seems funny somehow. Guy of Gisborne reading a bedtime story...XD

[nasr2612]

lol. best bed time story i've ever heard. I remember reading that book when i was 7! :)

[lippy88lizzy]

this is beyond adorable!

'you can wwrap up warm and play out in the snow"

oh, to be able to wrap up warm with him! ^_^

and watch him playing in the snow - tee hee!

*abracadabra* - and i'm under his spell! <3

[oywidapoodles]

Nice way to make mothers with good taste turn on this show.

The way he says "abracadabra" is pretty much the sexiest thing ever. How wrong is that?! Lol.

[seeleyboothfan]

Oh my god, his voice is so seductive and husky. *shiver* How many of these did he do? I saw another one on here too.

[Sara18831]

Such a great actor! Adorable! But every time I watch it I actually catch myself concentrating only on his good looks and his VOICE.I don´t really listen to the story...

[avocado325]

haha! yes that happens to me too whenever I watch anything Richard does. I have to see everything at least twice to understand whats going on b/c the first time I'm just spazzing over his hotness... :D

[MonCaro76]

Like a dream...!

[marcyg68]

i wish richard could tuck me in and read me a bedtime story every night.....

[MountainSleeper]

I used to love that story! Yay Richard!

[MidgetBuddie]

he can read me a bedtime story any day of the week lol

[feistybbz]

i now officially hate that wand! and the night night he says at the end sounds like hes trying to suduce somebody lol

[feistybbz]

i know iv already commented but that wand he just... im speechless that rarely happens if u guys can come up with a word to describe it id be very grateful

[lippy88lizzy]

how about ... *spell-binding?* lol

[feistybbz]

im sorry but the accent he uses near the beginin with the line of "im tired of winter" he makes a deep sigh before he says it i can just imagine him thinking ok im going to look and sound like an idiot

[ATudorQuene]

Any idea when this was filmed? Just so wonderful and sweet. If RA's affect matches reality his kids will have a lovely Daddy. That is, of course, if he has kids, someday. Wish some folks would post some theatre bits of his, or if extent his playing some music? Thanks for this wonderful bedtime tale. Here in the US we are so cut off from the talent pool you have in the UK. We don't usually get to see things for a year or two after you already have seen them.

[redrose12007]

Hehehe....that was nice...and since it is time for me to sleep...that was a great bed time story....thanks for the upload!!!!!

[bradburyslaw]

He could come in through my cat flap any time! LOL!!!

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Yes it is time I snuggled up in bed...THIS WAS FANTASTIC. has got to have the sexiest voice ever. Wouldn't mind him snuggling up to keep me tight. x

[difdrummer]

He can come and read me a bedtime story anytime he wants :)

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Totally true. Think bedtime stories is the new trend especially with him reading them

[sapphbean]

omg i love him soooo much

[sapphbean]

omg i love him soooo much

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Join the club... Eternally gorgeous Richard. Please come and read us another bedtime story!!!! We promise we'll behave.

[glistergirl]

Hummm... I know better! ;D

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Hiya you're online too. How are you? Did you find that video in my favourites or just discover it yourself? I love this video. He makes bed time stories so fashionable.

[glistergirl]

Oh, I found it in yours... It is just wrong how adorable he is...

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Oh delighted you enjoyed it. My entire folder is pretty much dedicated to him. I know it's insane....even reading a bedtime story he's still so unbelievably attractive, he has such an adorable voice...could listen to him all day (and night)

[keighley23]

he has to have the sexiest voice i've ever heard...

[emilygracey]

"Night night. Sleep tight." That was the sexiest thing I've ever heard.

[radguurl]

Oh, WORD. It's the whispering of it. I feel dirty for thinking that, but my GOD, does that man have a sexy voice. Like, DEAD SEXY.

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Don't feel dirty. It's impossible not to think such things when watching such a video. it's not just the sight of him that sends me weakening at the knees...his voice, his voice, his voice. Come and read me a bed time anyday Richard...I shall certainly have pleasant dreams tonight.

[crazychick84]

you are so right emilygracey

'i think it's time for you to snuggle up into bed too'.......... only if you're gonna be in it too Richard!!

[RUGIRL08]

I love the voices he makes for the characters. His voice is so sexy, he can snuggle up with me anytime.

[anneofgreengiggles]

Yes, we could wrap up warm!!

This man is so yummy!!!

[gisbornesgirl245]

[Lauriona]

[KayTee4DavidTennant]

"Night Night. Sleep Tight." !!!!

[shellycoat]

Oh my God, I think I'm in love....

[mrstilney]

I'm right behind you... *melts*

[titchy120]

me too!! *drools* i'd love for him to read me a bedtime story lol

[nanoufall]

the actor playing guy of Guisbourne is actually sweet. My world is fallin apart!

[Vivaldia]

I never knew Winnie the witch was Welsh...

But I don't care I barely hear anything he says anyway!

[hannahmwalsh]

[panda7bear]

He could read me my bedtime story any night!!

[Joloveseufc]

meh well..they shudnt get such a bloody sexy man to do it!

haha i bet even the kids were like 'corgh if i were 30 yrs older...' well i wud have anyway :s

[crazychick84]

haha 'joloveseufc' i feel the same. he is lovely. god, i'm even jealous of the kids now! haha

[Joloveseufc]

haha its so true tho ;)

[vanefreja]

amazing...some people have a voice beyond anything else....

Armitage is on of them:)

[snuggylicious]

One word, G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S-! *melting* Thank you spookster! ;-)

[alilinzee]

you see now THIS is why you have kids.....you need an excuse to ogle Richard hehe xx

[amnesiacsmuzak]

that is so darn cute!!  <3 richard armitage...

[SASASEXY]

Most. Gorgeous. Man. EVER.

And that voice.....*melts*

[smishofgaal]

*sigh* i want to MARRY HIM ^^;

i love winter ZOMG WE ARE SO MEANT TO BE!!

[mrstilney]

I know how you feel suzycgt62! it should be illegal for such a gorgeous man to read children's bedtime stories!

[LittleGhost1837]

OMG!!! That's too cute to be true <3 I just love him. *sigh* I could listen to that voice forever, I swear...

[vivalavidabella]

ahahaha.. just when i thought richard cant get any cuter and sexier,here he is reading a kid's story.. SO HOT

[suzycgt62]

Is it wrong to lust after a man reading a children's bedtime story? I feel guilty about it, but I just can't help myself.

[xtracey1985x]

Richard can read me a bed time story any time he likes!!!!! *Sigh*

[Lloydsgurl]

omg, so much love for this.

[masqueraderose]

Mr A is just pure class to me. No matter what he does he puts everything he has into it and i have soooo much respect for that as i do for the man himself. Hope he gets to be a daddy one day and that the woman who will be blessed to be watching him read to their child knows just how lucky she is. Gentle, kind, extremely talented and with a huge heart as well, what more could you ask for? Much love Mr A x

[may8759]

OMG! I don't want to sleep at all or perhaps with him...;-)

[rainbowchakra90]

Oh my God!!! A girl could fall in love with a guy like that....*sigh*

[suzi12sq]

I'll have sweet dreams RA but they won't be about Winnie or Wilbur. sigh

[StarOpal]

I love the fact Richard Armitage just seems to put 100% into whatever he does. And he's insanely gorgeous. And his voice is amazing. And he has a great smile (his scowling as Guy or Thornton ain't too bad either, heh).

...He doesn't wave the wand five times though.

I love this clip, thanks for posting! *saves to favorites*

[Americanidol59]

LOL i agree with what you said . . . evrything gets great effort and lots of charisma . . . and he gets millions of adoring woman back for it!! :D

[funkycherrygirl]

Winnie the Witch in Winter is Welsh LOL What is it with kids shows and aliteration eh? :)

Oooh he just has the sexiest voice and I can imagine him as a father reading to his kid doing all the different voices....sooo sweet. Plus thinking of Guy of Gisborne reading a bedtime story is lovely - Guy is just messed up not purely evil IMHO anyway!

[Phantomstruelove]

*Grinning insanely* He can tuck me into bed! Guy of Gisbourne+Bed-Time Story=... If I'd been Marian I'd have chosen Sir Guy over Robin!

[elizabethgaskelfan]

oh my goodness! he's soooo cute!!!!!!!!! i have watched north and south and robin hood and vicar of dibley but this is just so funny. lol

[bogabilla]

i just can't reconcile the character of John Thornton with someone telling a bedtime story, but he does have a very soothing voice

[celera65]

I don't know John Thornton but try picturing Guy of Gisbourne reading a bedtime story. It messes with your mind if you think too much about it.

[teabird61]

I've watched North and South so many times I'm embarrassed to say it (John Thornton is the main male character) but sometimes I just want to see it to hear him talk. Now that I've heard that accent, none of the rest will do!!!

[bogabilla]

nothing to be embarrassed about, i've seen North and South enough times to last me my life :)

[INOMACK2X]

Oh my!that what i did too.Just listening to his voice is so much more than i can handle.His voice holds so much emotion.I've never heard a voice so sexy and so full of character.

[IzMaggieMay]

SQUUUEEEE. Richard is soooo cute. Okay I am about to die of laughter. I love his voice! It is funny cause I can only think of him as evil Guy on Robin Hood. LOL LOL

[Mischa2211]

he is so cute. he sounds sweet telling this story.

[samjhart]

He looks so cute

[nicki1147]

*huggles*

[celera65]

Kid shows at nighttime would never fly in the US. I never knew they had bedtime story shows like this.

Wow, Richard is funny when he does those voices. He's good at being goofy so I almost forgot that this was the same guy who was also Guy of Gisbourne. This shows he can play a HUGE range of characters. Richard, if you see this, please come to America and host Saturday Night Live.

[wanderingchild17]

^^ Richard on SNL, good heavens lol

I don't know if you've ever seen Richard Armitage in North and South (he plays the dark handsome hero in this one), but if you haven't, don't watch it and Robin Hood on the same day like I did; it messes with your mind @_@

I do agree that he is a great actor ^^

[VintageLady1980]

Oh dear, another one of these bedtime stories. I think my mom thought I was a nut when she saw me watching this. Being that I'm 26 and have a son of my own, but, man, I love the voices he does...so fun! When he said, "Abracadabra!" I agree with the person below...had to save this to favorites. :-P Why is this man so cute? *sighs*

[wanderingchild17]

Richard: "Now, I think it's time for you to snuggle up in bed too."

Me: "Only if I can take you with me!" ^^

I totally agree with lozinja58, and it is uber-cute to see/listen to him reading such an innocent story and be so full of expression, etc. etc. I must admit, I cracked up when I heard him say "abracadabra" XD *saves to faves*

[lozinja58]

Aww, how cute is this?! He'd be such a cute Dad. I have so much love for a man who has the balls to read a bedtime story like that :)

[Queenofthemuse]

Such a lovely story, and richard reads it with so much expression and character...what a gorgeous voice!

[DER4160]

Does anyone know when this originally aired?

[sarabarra]

wow, what a BABE

[Rafaella1965]

I think that I may be a very mad, bad old lady - because I'm 41 and I got an indecent amount of pleasure from having young Richard read me a bedtime story.

[lilmissbh]

I love it i think that he is a very good story teller i want him to come and read me a night time story lol

[TheLlamaLady]

"Her pond" is symbolic :-D

SICK! Haha j/k.

But this is stoopid.

[ketonepropane]

Is it just me? I think he looks like Harry Potter...

[Elva75]

He does look like a grown up Harry Potter .. only Harry suddenly became hot ;)

Abracadabra, so cute !

[Wulfrida]

Hehe! True, Elva, he might be a grown up Harry Potter. He only misses his glasses.

[Elva75]

I suspect his magic skills would have improved with age and he cunningly fixed his eyesight :)

[radguurl]

He does! It would be awesome if he played grown-up Harry at the end of the final movie.

[sapphbean]

i've heard loads of people say that, and as soon as i read the ending, he was the first person i thought of!

But by the time they make the last film, the actors will only need a tad of make-up to make them look full-grown

[GreenDaysEnvPR]

Would have to agree with you on that RealMizz

[TheRealMizz]

He can read me a bedtime story any day, lol!

[Avellaholt]

I LOVED this...Thanks for posting it!!! RA does a GREAT job of reading this book!

[weeknightingale]

Splendid! Thanks!

[thespookster2006]

The first few seconds are a little off whack (time wise)...but be patient! It clears up after a few seconds!
