Explanation: The following set of screencaps are a continuation of a thread on IMDB and another site. We were asked to list which of RA's characters we would invite to dinner. The thread went on for pages as we decided to invent the dinner and were concerned about GoG's behaviour at a formal dinner party. We have now screencapped and taken the story further. I hope it makes sense - it will for the absent friend we are posting this for.
PS: We have gone on several different tangents with this thread, so the invitation to the dinner actually comes after some of the antics at the dinner. Click on thumbnails for larger pictures. They should be in order - one comment following the next.
Looks like GoG is hitting the ale pretty hard--he didn'teven notice that the first course was served!
ELM
Well I'm not about to deny the man his ale. In fact, I htink he'd be happier with the whole pitcher:
He may need some coffee at this point--looks like all that alchohol is knocking him out!
ELM
"The man never listens - I told him to change to drinking tea after the third jug of ale"
GoG: "Listen Marian, those people want me at the dinner only - sorry, the invitation doesn't include you.."
GoG: "I really cannot allow Marian to attend that dinner. My chief rivals, Thornton and North will be there and she might take a fancy to one of them!"
GoG: "Sorry I have to blindfold you Marian, but I can't allow you to follow me to this dinner"
JT: "It's an invitation to dinner with five other gentlemen. I hope that Gisborne fellow isn't going to be present...."
"You're inviting me to dinner? What's the catch? It's not Gisborne again is it?"
Harry: "You're inviting me to dinner with Guy, John and Lucas? Are you sure it wouldn't be safer for me to join the peace keeping forces in Afghanistan?"
Monet: "How could those ladies invite me to dine with Guy? If I get into a fight with him, I might ruin my hands and never paint again!"
GoG: "No, of course I didn't mean my horse! The extra food is in the saddle bags"
Sheriff: "I'm flattered, Gisborne, but I really think you should have brought someone more feminine--like the Nightwatchman"
Harry: "Listen carefully: The Night Watchman is a Night Watchwoman...a W-O-M-A-N, Guy!"
GoG: "NO!! It simply cannot be true - the Night Watchman has defeated me in a fight! No woman could do that..or wear breeches for that matter!"
GoG:"....then again, It does make me feel better about finding him slightly attractive."
Lucas: "Pardon Harry? You want me to try to recruit Gisborne to MI5 when I'm at that dinner???"
"LOL! Harry is making a bold move there, but it looks like Lucas is doing as he asked; he brought all the preliminary paperwork for joining MI5 (I think that's box one of ten)"
Monet: "Checking for listening devices behind this painting. Maybe Lucas will recruit me as well - I need the extra cash."
Harry: Lucas, I asked you to recruit one person, not every artist and accountant you came across!!
"Guy, that tiny tattoo on your arm will never do! You'll have to get yourself some better ones if you want to be part of our team"
LN: "It's not all about the tattoos, of course, you must be able to go "tieless" without embarrasment if you want to join MI5"
Harry: "So I'm short now? I didn't realize there was a "must be this tall to spy" limit"
"That Lucas North thinks he's really something but I bet he can't handle a sword as well as me...or a horse!"
LN: Do you thnk they'd let me drive one of these if I couldn't be trusted behind the wheeel??
Harry: "Lucas, you will be lead guitar, Ros, you'll be on drums and I--I'll be the sexy lead singer. It was a difficult decision, but it's my duty to the British state"
MTA: ELM - after numerous very frustrating searches on google, I ended up having to go through all those press clips on Annette's site. Finally I found the excerpt at this link.... http://www.richardarmitageonline.com/articles/TVQuick20081021.html
"Besides acting, Richard plays the cello and flute, and he says he'd love to get his co-stars involved with his music.
"I'd love to play electric guitar in a Spooks band. Peter could do the drums and Hermione the vocals! They'd call for us on set, but we'd be too busy jamming!"
Another question to ask RA when he does another interview...about the Spooks band. What else did we need to ask him? Perhaps we should compile a list somewhere here.
Alan: "Come on Guy, let me be a part of the Spooks band - you play bass and I'll help Harry with the vocals. At least we look more the part than they do!"
GoG: That is the perfect hair for Harry's wig--if I can could just get a lock or two, he'll let me in his band!
