Belated Richard Armitage 38th Birthday Video and the Year that was...

[MrVosje66]

Dear Spikesbint, can you please tell me where I can find the music? It's really beautiful!

[tennismer6]

that was beautiful, thank you. I cried when Guy died, again! Please make another for Richards 40th this year.

[kaydop]

Awesome!

[shamihakhan93]

OMG i screamed when i saw him die as Sir Guy of Gisborne ; ( .. i cried so much for both Guy & Robin, unbelievable. Wow Isabella literally stabbed him in the back as well as metaphorically. I will always love Sir Guy of Gisborne the dark knight in shining armor lol. & Richard Armitage is an amazing actor he deserves more fame. Happy 39th Birthday Richard!

Magnificent! Can't wait to see what you come up with for 2010!

[hippychick48]

what a lovely thing to do! I enjoyed it very much.

[stupidintellect90]

I MISS ROBIN HOOD...the BBC made a stupid mistake by ending it and stupidly killing off Guy and Robin

[TheBreyerFanatic]

what episode is 3:08 from?? Im asking because my mum loves richard armitage and im making one of these 4 her birthday :)

[Matejcha007]

you really really did a remarkable job!!

[75goodies]

Beautiful video, thanks for putting it on. He gets more and more gorgeous...... as time goes on x

[blysuk52]

[noangel07]

[tweety5776]

nice video clip. will u pls tell me where 0.52 frm?. he looking so cute in that.

[Bonnieboe]

I really enjoyed this! esp the part about Guy. You captured how sad it is that his character is over! I haven't watched the 3rd season, but that was mainly, b/c of Marion-just couldn't get past it - anyways, great video!

[TheDirtyDiana1989]

i almost cried with Sir Guy in ur video sniff sniff..v_v so he's going to dye v_v oh NOOOOO

[jonetas]

Maravilloso!!!!!!

Gracias

[EvenstarCrystal]

Another absolutely brill vid! Beautifully edited with some epic looks from RA!

But - who is John Mulligan - how on earth did I miss this!!!!

X

[khgyut]

he is bleething smokin'

[dulka12]

great video ;-)

[MargarynianSodu]

What is the name of this song??

[mrsjudetheobscure]

See Essex is not just white stilletos and Lakeside! Love your stuff sweetie, long may you be inspired by the lovely Richard Armitage.

[DaenerysSeerow]

I love your videos spikesbint, they always seem to capture exactly what i think of the characters.

Excellent editing as always, keep up the good work :D

and the obligatory: OmG gUY issszz soo HAWT

hahah. ... . lol.

[keeeenia]

Great Vid SB... as always. one question? the music vid ,where is from? please!!

[spikesbint]

The music used on the video?

[keeeenia]

yes, please

[Mrscourious]

Please tell me where :29 is from and can you send me the link??? Please, please!

[spikesbint]

@Mrscourious Sorry I didn't reply before now it was from an interview he did last year, I think around March time.

[HeathDances]

Sorry I meant btw Angela just watching your video! That death scene gets me everytime, I think that is probably why it has been hard for me to get my Guy video done. I am sure you understand! lol

[rowan729]

no no no no no no no Guy of Gisborne cannot die! I haven't seen him die yet! but im in America and we get hand me down episodes from Britain so he could be long dead but still I wouldn't know it. *cry*

[HeathDances]

He died in the USA on Saturday Dec 5th. *sniff* That was the last episode of RH that aired in the USA. :*( I miss Guy! btw Just watching your video again, because I love it! lol

[rowan729]

why is he dead? what happened?

[HeathDances]

He joined with Robin Hood to get rid of the Sheriff and his sister Isabella. The Sheriff ended up killing him with his sword, while Isabella stabbed him in the back with a dagger that had poison on it. He died in Robin Hood's arms and Robin called him his friend and Guy said that Marian was the love of his life but she was never his. It is quite a tear jerker. I was sobbing. :*(

[Mrscourious]

What a beautiful tribute! Well done! I am a fan of all of your videos. Please tell me where the pic at :29 is from? It looks like an interview. And... is that a picture of him and possibly his grilfriend on the desk next to him??? Where could I go to see the interview? I am one of those desparate fans in the USA that has to go to utube to get glimpes of RA.

[allenoro]

i hope you're in the pink of health now. i love mr. RA so much and it gives so much pleasure seeing him in this video .thank you so much and GOD bless you

[richmattgal]

Oh SB! Thank you from the depths of my heart for making this exquisite video for us RA fans even when you were under the weather! I never realized how touching the BJ soundtrack really was! The music is so eloquent matching perfectly RA's many facets. Isn't he the modest fella in his interviews! LOVE IT! RA's quick shy smile emotes a thousand words! Feel better dear friend of RA and his fans! Let me listen to BJ again.............

[Victoria1515]

Fantastic! Thanks for making this.

[Zechwoman]

Wonderful video! Thanks so much for making it!

[lorebear]

Once again! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing this!

[Lusy81]

Wonderful tribute to "our" RA. I am sure he would like it :) He developed desire to perform Richard III...Is it not interesting towards this fact that Richard III died on birthday (Aug., 22) of other lovely Richard (Armitage)? He would be perfect for role of Richard III. LOL

[Redrosewitch]

Wonderful vid Angela. Hope you're feeling better.

Another wonderful tribute to the lovely mr A.

[spikesbint]

Thanks AJ, I haven't been on YT for almost two weeks, shocking lol

[pbml4]

Wow, this video is fantastic; I'm sure RA would agree.

Loved your choice of music :)

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[lorebear]

Great Vid SB... as always. I hope you are feeling betting now. RL can be such a pain can't it!

[spikesbint]

Thank you LB, I have been a bit of YT stranger of late, even if I have been elsewhere lol

[telephonegirl48]

Loved this loved this!!! Great videao and ths music was perfect.I will miss gorgeous Guy and his sexy eyes.But we still have the devestating Richard to look forward to..every part he plays you just fall for!! Superb actor,likeable man,and totally gorgeous on the eye!! thanks for a great video...

[42maz]

I just love this vid, have watched it so many times

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[judithj1]

So grieved I have not been able to hear RA narrating the Great Sperm Race!! Lovely tribute to my beloved GG, the world is a sadder place without him. Hope you are feeling better!!

[spikesbint]

Thanks, I have an MP3 of his narration if you want it?

[judithj1]

That would be amazing.  How do I get it from U?

[jb92604]

beautiful...he is so handsome and such a wonderful actor..Thanks Angela for taking your time to make this a winner for all of us R A fans.

[spikesbint]

Thank you for watching it :D

[veryval]

Wow! I needed something beautiful to relieve me of my hectic day and I`m so sorry I`m late to join the party but OOOOOMMMMGGG that was beyond gorgeous and stunning! Wow angela you just did the most amazing tribute to a fabulous character! And the MUSIC! X-Ray Dog , Becoming Jane - ahhhhh! Too good! 10 stars and faves!!!!!!!

[spikesbint]

The soundtrack to becoming Jane is gorgeous, one of my favourite OST. :D

[mitalimadan1]

Brilliant video Angela, and in spite not keeping well it must have taken so much efforts to make this fantastic video.

The music used is so mesmerizing.

5***** & Fav.

Mita

[myarcell]

Angela, What a fabulous video!!! Thanks so much. Hope you're feeling better.

Cheers, Mayi

[spikesbint]

Thanks Mayi, I am getting there, still a nasty chesty cough that won't shift! Off for a few days R&R next week, can't wait!

[rogpeg47]

This took my breath away............so beautiful, so beautiful

[spikesbint]

Thank you! :)

[rance70]

Hello, your video is fantastic, amazing, marvel.

I would like to thank you for all the wonderful videos you make, has a great talent.

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much, I enjoy making them and RA is very inspiring :D

[tully2shoes]

I just have to tell you again how much I like this video. Great clips and wonderful music.

Thanks!

[spikesbint]

Thank you :D

[alblove1820]

Happy b-day Richard!!!.....and great video!

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[Aliena5582]

Belated thanks for another amazing video !! What a summary of his splendid performances through this unforgettable year :D I'm so looking forward to his future projects, not a long wait for Spooks 8 now :) )

Sorry to hear you haven't been well, I wish you a full recovery :) Take care!!

[spikesbint]

Thanks I am slowly getting better, I too am looking forward to Spooks, and the other things coming up, wonder how he is coping in South Africa!

[superfluous1too]

I hadn't read your synopsis when I first posted a comment. Sorry to hear you've been sick. Sending up many prayers you will get well soon.

[spikesbint]

Thank you, still not all there yet, but improving day by day, thank you :D

[SMaryG]

Just re-watching and thought :"Not to mention the audiobooks he recorded! How much does this generous man work? And all for our immense joy!" Thanks Richard!

[09wilsonm]

Thank you! I love it, such a good year. :)

[spikesbint]

Thank you :D

[soothvideos]

Angela, I'm sorry I'm late getting my comment in but this was absolutely wonderful. I loved all the clips, the reminders of the big year it's been for RA and all his fans...the Guy tribute was moving and so well done...got me choked up. Very beautiful to watch, all of it. Thank you for doing this- I hope you get to feeling better very soon! :)

Amy

[spikesbint]

Thanks Amy, I am just glad it came together in the end, I only had an evening to work on it, not as long as I usually like lol

[superfluous1too]

Wonderful as always. You've got a great hand. I actually started to get choked during the Guy tribute. I hope Richard Armitage sees this, and once I again I have to comment on how you and a handful of others have almost single handedly promoted him in America. Yep, there's BBCA, but a lot of people don't get that channel and almost everyone with a computer, which is most people in America, gets YouTube.

[spikesbint]

Thank you :D

[FairyCutie86]

Amazing and lovely tribute! RA needs to see this. I really loved the whole Guy dedicated section. Just beautiful.

[RobCee4ever]

This is sooo lovely, thank you for making it and I really do hope that you are feeling better! :)))

xxxx

[xtninha]

Absolutely fantastic.......... I love it :D I hope you get better soon.

[DishyEnglishmanLuvr]

Lovely! Hope you feel better soon! Hugs from Tennessee.

[sauronsdaugther]

Oh Angela! This is BEAUTIFUL.

A wonderful summary of a year full of superb performances by our lovely man.

Fantastic audio and clips choice. I missed JM on the sofa though LOL... one certain shot especially ;-)

BTW, I think I've lost myself with the 'miracle of engineering' bit

*smiley scratching its head*

Maybe because I've not seen it ???

Anyway, hope you felt inspired to do this!

Wish you a full and speedy recovery!

*hugs*

And late... Happy birthday Richard!

[tubesaiyo]

Precioso video con uno de mis actores preferidos. GENIAL y un saludo.

[pirateAngel1688]

Oh Angela I wish that Richard could see that because that was so wonderful!! What a beautiful birthday video for him, he has the best and most creative fans. 5/5 and faves!!!!

[ExJetCityWoman]

This is absolutely wonderful, Angela. The most wonderful summation and use of clips. A truly beautiful tribute. (And the Great Sperm Race edit - HA! You're wicked & hilarious.) I am so sorry that you've been so sick. I hope you feel much, much better soon!! {{BIG HUGS}}

Positive helaing thoughts, Karen

[spikesbint]

Thank you I am on the mend, I am away a few days next week, I am hoping the sea air will do me some good :) I have a very naughty sense of humour sometimes ;)

[RAsrosesc]

Beautiful tribute Angela!!! I hope you are well very soon!!!!!

[shhylady]

Hope you get to feeling better soon. This video is wonderful and a great tribute to his work in the last year. I enjoyed it alot.

[angieklong]

Angela, I am so sorry you've been ill, I know how it is to battle one thing after another and it is so wearing on body and spirit. Thank you for this lovely tribute to a man I deeply admire, respect and adore - may he have many, many more wonderful,productive and happy years (and the same to you, darling!).

[RandHrShipper1]

Oh, FEEL BETTER SOON, ANGELA!!! This vid is a wonderful recap and tribute to a talented man and you chose such perfect music, too! 5 stars!

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much. I have had illness after illness the last few weeks, would like a break if the powers that be are listening lol :D thanks for watching the vid

[tully2shoes]

Excellent! What is the first piece of music called? I recognize the second from Becoming Jane-one of my favorite cuts, BTW. Thanks for helping us celebrate Richard's birthday:)

[spikesbint]

Thank you, the first bit of music is called Generations and is by Intermediate Music. :)

[tully2shoes]

Thanks so much. Keep up the good work. We enjoy it so!

[Krystadpr]

Awesome video, love it!

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[xxxxxxsxy]

This was wonderful another excellent video and i loved it that you put The Great Sperm Race then the clip of RA in bed with a woman lol, i love all your videos, well done 5* playlist and shared

[spikesbint]

Lol, I know ;) my naughty mind at work again :D

[fruitcakegirl]

As wonderful as ever SB!

[spikesbint]

Thank you :D

[elwren75]

Thank you SB. I still get teary over Guy. Thanks for summing up Richard's year so beautifully. It sounds like he has great things on the way for year 38, too!

[spikesbint]

Thanks for watching it, and yes, I am really looking forward to watching Charlie, and will be interesting to see if Strike Back the series is better than the book :D I am sure RA will be an improvement no matter what lol

[FelicityKing]

Although I have long though RA very talented, his appeal has eluded me. However, I think I finally got it. Because holy hell! RA looks massively fine as John Mulligan. THUD!

So spikesbint, you can pat yourself yourself on the back because RA just got himself a new cough drools over his looks cough admirer thanks to your editing!

Hope you feel better soon!

[Carolynd1]

Another brilliant video! Thank you! Didn't know I could still cry to see Guy, but I did!

[spikesbint]

I know how you feel, I couldn't make anything to do with Guy for a while, which is why its been 2 months since my last vid :(

[Elyyzza]

Parabéns!!!

[spikesbint]

Thanks for watching it. I am really excited about the upcoming movie. Although we shall have to be patient lol :D I am sure it will be worth the wait!

[romana55]

A beautiful and moving celebration of Richard's past year and what a year!

A lovely way to celebrate Richard's birthday too

[DreamyViper]

That was really lovely. I hope you recover to your full strength soon. :)

[spikesbint]

Thanks DV, I hope so too, I am sick of getting sick LOL

[mrsjameshook]

It's been quite a year! I'm still not quite over the loss of Sir Guy... but thanks for the laugh at the end! Fabulous video :-D

[spikesbint]

Thank you, I wanted to lighten the mood a little after the sadness. I shall miss Guy for a while. It was quite hard to watch that scene all over again :(

[loridimai]

Happy Birthday, once again,Richard and

Thank you so much, Angela for this fab video

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much for watching it :D

[tsora17]

[spikesbint]

Thanks P and yes me too, not so long till Spooks now!

[marie21000]

Angela, thank you for making this beautiful video! Sorry to hear that you've been sick again!

Thanks again. I hope you're feeling a little better. Take care, dear!

[spikesbint]

Yep, I was over that viral infection and then as you know I had anaemia and on top of that I got the flu last week, so its not been great thanks Marie

[SMaryG]

Great as usual. Happy Birthday to Richard and best wishes to you, too.

I'm fond of your videos! Take care.

[spikesbint]

Thank you and I really hope I am not replying to you twice lol, I really hate how YT comments are set out :D

[RAFIA40]

Happy Birthday, Richard!!

[RAFIA40]

Dear Spikesbint, thank you for sharing such a lovely video. And I hope you feel better soon.

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much and for the get well wishes. :)

[Nobel4pearl]

OMG, Spikesbint! This video is totaly AMAZING! You brought tears to my eyes! What a lovely résumé of Richard's last year! I'm so glad that you made this eventhough your health wasn't the best. I'm sending you a big hug and hoping for your soon recovery! I celebrated Richards birthday by going to Coldplays concert in Stockholm! It was pure magic! I'm still high from that amazing experience! Let's hope that we will have many fantastic Richard moments in this his 38th year! Hugs! /N4p :oD

[spikesbint]

Thank you for the get well wishes and I love live music, beats the cd hands down!

[pikespeak22]

Fantastic tribute vid! A great way to revisit all of RA's wonderful work over the past year! I loved your brilliant segue from The Great Sperm Race into the 'bedroom' scene of Moving On. *giggles*

PS - Hope you are feeling better!

[spikesbint]

Thank you, and haha I knew people would see through my attempt to be oh so innocent with that scene right after the Great Sperm Race ;)

[LorienGaladriel]

This was such a beautiful video! *sniff*

Happy birthday, Richard!

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[HeathDances]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!! Oh and I love the "miracle of engineering bit" te he he ;-)

[spikesbint]

Lol, I thought that bit would amuse you ;)

[HeathDances]

GORGEOUS Angela!! What a lovely video to come home to after a night of drinking and dancing! LOL It was still August 22nd in California when you got the video up! he he. I love the tribute and all the new stuff Richard as brought us as well as missing our lovely Guy! Thanks for making it and I hope you get better soon! *hugs*

[spikesbint]

Thanks Heather, sounds like you had a great night out.

[anyrowe]

Beautiful, beautiful!

You've just made me cry and then laugh - all in 4 minutes!

Amazing.

Hope you're better soon, keep up the excellent work.

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much, and I hoped the ending would lighten the mood a bit after the sadness of Guy :D

[artylass]

Utterly enchanting! What a wonderful reminder of this past year!. Well done hon, and sorry that you were unable to do it earlier because you are poorly :-( *hugs to you*

*runs off to watch it again*

[spikesbint]

Thank you *hugs*

[collectionlove]

Happy Birthday,Richard...

thank you for sharing this beautiful video.I really love this...

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[foolishnorthernlass]

Oh, I forgot to say how happy your music choice made this Austen Addict. If I'm not mistaken, the last 2 minutes or so -starting at 2:40, when we lost our Guy, our real RHero (and BBC their ratings ;P) are from Becoming Jane -LOVED it!!!

Big Hugs

[spikesbint]

Yes I love the becoming Jane Soundtrack, so moving and thanks!

[foolishnorthernlass]

Happy B-day, Richard!

Same to you Angela dearest and a heartfelt THANK YOU for another Wonderful video gift.

I almost missed it. I returned from a party minutes ago (no, not that one I was hoping for :) and thought I'll better go sleep without checking YT again to avoid another disappointment, as there was nothing from you or Heather since last night ...am I glad now that I've changed my mind? :D)))) ^__^ :D)))) think there's no need to say more

Best Wishes dear friend -Take care!

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much, hope the party was fun! :)

[moviefan20]

I did not know you were not well! I hope you are feeling better and glad to see another amazing video by you!

[spikesbint]

I have seemed to come down with every thing going the last couple of months and I got flu on top of it this last week, but I am making a slow recovery, and thank you!

[moviefan20]

5* and in my faves! Thank you so much for making this SPECTACULAR video Angela! It was sooooo awesome! Great clips and wonderfully beautiful and captivating music and editing!

[spikesbint]

Thanks :D

[brandiwhine71]

Welcome back,Angela! Missed your brilliant work! Your video is gorgeous,no surprise there! Lol 5 stars & faved! And I hope you get well soon...:) Oh,and Happy Birthday Darling Richard...

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much! :)

[iheartlife89]

Thank you for the lovely tribute, especially the part pertaining to Guy. He was indeed a journey and will be missed. Thank you again.

[spikesbint]

I did start a video after the finale of RH, but I had to put it aside, I was so :( after he died that it took me a while before I could look at clips of Guy again, probably sounds very silly lol

[iheartlife89]

I completely understand. It is not silly at all. I, too, mourned the death of Guy. I was close to tears and ranting all of my house. My poor family thought that I had lost it. So really, I do understand.

[Lilynn08]

Gorgeous tribute! :) Love it! Well done!

[spikesbint]

Thank you Lilynn :)

[sallyannerenee]

What a lovely tribute to this wonderful man! Thank you!

[spikesbint]

Thank you :)

[DieGesicht]

Great video!!! Get well soon :) I love all your vids.  Happy Birthday, Richard!!! -- I especially loved your tribute to GoG-- "in living torment"

[spikesbint]

Thank you very much, I still feel sad that we have had to say goodbye to him in a way, but looking forward to seeing what RA is doing next, well we know Charlie and Strike back but you know what I mean LOL

[EtherealSparkle]

That was so very beautiful. I really identified with 1:51 as I am still sort of angry that Sir Guy is gone. I loved how you added all the interviews that show RA as himself. And the audio parts were classic! Gorgeous work as usual. Thank you for creating this. I think it's helping me cope, but I am still anxious for Spooks to begin. Happy Birthday, Richard!

[spikesbint]

Me too B, I didn't have as long to work on it as I would have liked, if I hadn't got struck down with flu I would have had a whole week at least to dedicate to it, I had to do this all in an evening.

[behindblueeyesvideo]

And I also forgot to say, I hope you feel better soon!

[behindblueeyesvideo]

Lovely! And it's still the 22nd in North America, so this video is not really late. LOL.
