    Mr. Armitage I would love to see you come to the States and become the next Hugh Grant or Colin Firth in the romantic comedy genre. With your humor and obvious good looks you would be a natural. It seems as though your career is just beginning to grow and I think you have great potential. I look forward to seeing your work in more films.

    If I were Marian... i wouldn't care how many kings of England he wanted to assasinate, i would marry Guy of Gisborne as soon as possible.

    Richard is great in Vicar of Dibley as well, love his smile... drool...
