And by now, if it was just Thornton I think we all wouldn't still be here don't you think? <br /><br />Thank you - I'm so glad you liked the video. It was fun making it. <br /><br />I'm glad you said that because now I can confess I hadn't heard of Gaskell either until N&S and even then I didn't run out to buy and read the book until a few years later!Fabolaktukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061891235841638236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843411604449664157.post-38249981880902192572012-03-20T20:04:30.281-04:002012-03-20T20:04:30.281-04:00What a super idea to put all those clips together....What a super idea to put all those clips together. I really enjoyed your video! <br />One thing I noticed is, he keeps saying that it wasn't his portrayal of Thornton that was so attractive, but it was because the character in the book was a favourite with people who studied it in school. Really? I had never heard of Elizabeth Gaskell until I saw Richard Armitage's portrayal of Thornton. But since then, I have come to regard her as one of my favourite authors! So Richard dear, I think you had that idea all backwards!<br />Such a humble soul, isn't he?Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843411604449664157.post-59371371862998495112012-03-17T10:35:16.251-04:002012-03-17T10:35:16.251-04:00Very good point gracie - if only everyone in the m...Very good point gracie - if only everyone in the media would take the time to really do some research before an interview they might ask him some great and thoughtful questions :)Fabolaktukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061891235841638236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843411604449664157.post-84294198079888472412012-03-17T10:32:47.554-04:002012-03-17T10:32:47.554-04:00Thanks magwi68 - I did want to show that exact thi...Thanks magwi68 - I did want to show that exact thing, that we are all fans and all have our passions and interests, and Richard does too :)Fabolaktukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061891235841638236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843411604449664157.post-41845502779046871672012-03-17T10:30:53.812-04:002012-03-17T10:30:53.812-04:00Agree!

I really think he meant it as a compliment, to say his fans were an intelligent and knowledgeable group. You make an excellent point about discarding the "middle aged" assumption. But yes, I think RA himself has discarded that long ago as he has said more recently, we are a diverse group and so much more fun that way.<br />Thank you!Fabolaktukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061891235841638236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843411604449664157.post-53288354438775356132012-03-13T09:02:41.405-04:002012-03-13T09:02:41.405-04:00Hello Jane,
