There has been so much hue and cry for this scene in Spooks 8 episode 5 since Lucas North was wearing a black leather jacket . He was trying to play a trick on the Americans (CIA) disguised as a courier. We hadn't seen Richard in leather since Robin Hood series 2. And since Sir Guy left us forever we have been missing him so much! But I don't particularly like Lucas's leather biker jacket. Too big? Too stiff?
To be honest , yes, this is one of Guy's typical gestures, but I can see very little Guy in this handsome in-leather courier. He reminds me of Ricky Deeming, instead. A lot. Do you remember him? ( from George Gently)
I particularly love other "leather moments" in Richard's career. What about these ones below?
Dr Alec Track in a gorgeous black leather jacket and jeans at the pub
Sweet Harry J. Kennedy tenderly looking at Geraldine on their first date or
... kissing her for the first time in a very trendy brown leather jacket and jeans.
I didn't remember that , early in his career , Richard was already wearing leather in BBC Doctors . But , thanks to Plylly, here he is . It was 2001 and he was playing Dr Tom Steele, arrogant and lazy, in a dark leather jacket again!

We shouldn't forget this elegant upper- class gentleman above here either: Philip Turner, from Inspector Linley Mysteries (Divine Proportion), since he is also showing off a very British look in his leather jacket.
But Richard in leather is , for all of us and forever, HIM... the only true in- leather charming hero...
SIR GUY OF GISBORNE!
P.S. TONIGHT SPOOKS 8 EPISODE 6 IS ON BBC 3!
ENJOY IT!

This is too fun. I love Richard Armitage, so seeing your posts is great!
If someone looks good in leather, it's RA. But, as you said, Guy will always be the best in leather!
I confess to having a soft spot for Ricky Deeming and the lovely Harry Kennedy. Beautiful photo Friday! (Was anyone a little disappointed the costume designers got rid of most of the leather in Series 3 of Robin Hood? I love his Dryzabone coat in S1 and 2).
Thank you for the lovely selection of RA in leather: I have a soft spot for Ricky Deeming, too, but my heart belongs to Sir "I-look-gorgeous-in-leather" Guy of Gisborne, R.I.P. Sigh!
The Gisborne pix are very droolworthy (of course) but I love the Harry pix from VoD. And thanks for the Dr. Alex Track one from the Golden Hour. That is a special one! I sent you another picture from another series, hope you can use it!
I really love all of these pictures...so thanks for getting my Monday off to a good start.
