I'm Not Going Out There

Richard Armitage from BBC's Robin Hood reading a Cbeebies bedtime story.

[@gigiedwards6388]

Richard is Absolutely Adorable in these stories. I love how he does all the different voices. He is SO GREAT at telling stories. I bet kids really like him. One more thing I Love About Richard Armitage!!!

[@poziomeczka22]

OMG!!! JUST LOOK AT HIM!!! He is soooo adorable and cute... absolutely divine! And this voice......!!!

[@Moonflowerlady]

He has such a lovely and versatile voice. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's desperately wishing Richard would come and read a me a story!

[@MorteReine]

Oh my goodness. I could just listen ot his voice all day.

[@PioggiaNelVento]

It's incredible how he can be a storyteller of fairytales and the bad guy in Robin Hood and the gentleman in North&South... he is incredibile!!!! Great!

[@petie153]

Absolutely charming! I had to watch it more than once.

[@Katiekinsism]

I would have so many of his children just so he could read stories to them at night, while I watch. He's so adorable!

[@LB-lg6zm]

This is by far the cutest thing I've ever seen... Aww!

[@boya307]

It's cute, he's so into the story! Love him even more now..

[@1FoLC1]

Love the voice he does for the ghost, cute

[@erin_nye]

This was the cutest thing ever!!!!! Gah! I've watched it so many times already. But it's okay because I'm supposed to be sleeping anyway so I'll just watch it again so Richard ' s voice can lull me to sleep ;)

[@sheebslove]

I was surfing in bed unable to sleep, and now I truly am feeling all warm and fuzzy and sleepy :-) His voice is so beautiful and his energy so clear, after a while i wasn't even listening to the words - just letting that gorgeous soothing voice sweep over me. Thanks Richard - you can tell me a bedtime story any time! Good night :-)

[@LexingtonB09]

WOW!! his voice......velvety perfection!

[@patriciasalyers9875]

WOOOO that was GREAT Richard is Great in everything he does Thank You very much

[@stockingstitcher]

Thanks for the new story by Richard.I look forward to every one.

[@SpicyBG]

That was...adorable!! :P And when he made the ghost voice, haha, priceless...! He can tuck me in anytime :)

[@shynessangel85]

I'm 27 years old and i looove his bedtime stories, can't handle his cuteness!! *-*

[@virunee]

Cor, why do they always get the gorgeous guys to do these stories; I just melt! John Simm, Richard Armitage, John Barrowman, Phil Glenister...

[@mollziki]

"I really like dinosaurs" lol! Ah I want to have his children! He'd make a great father... Thanks for posting this!

[@shamihakhan93]

aww richard armitage & his bedtime story, had me laughing out loud at 1st, but it was the perfect thing before i go off to bed now :) i simply adore his voice, i cudnt resist watching this. the bedtime story narration was the cutest thing :)

[@starsovermyroof]

"I really like dinosaurs... and DRAGONS" well....

[@pennyroyal59]

on BBC America he answers fans questions - I don't know how to post it here. The questions are rather good - and he is excellent as always. Fans must know he is doing two series at the same time and one is in Hungary for six months - he is very busy and probably wants some kind of life of his own. He gives so much to all of us already. Today I listened to him read Ted Hughes letters and some other poetry - his voice is amazing

[@Followerof_Christ]

I came here for Richard but ended up actually loving the story !

[@missme1720]

GoldM90 Me too. I just came for him, but the story os really good

[@RhiannanAR1]

OMG this is so priceless it outta be on a Mastercard commercial!!! LOL!! Awesome - 5/5 & faving this baby!! TY so much for posting this - what a gem! :_)

[@MrsBrando]

That is so cute, I'm sure my mom would like him too: ) He's a great actor and I LOVE his voice!!!

[@ImprajdaajIntary]

I love the way he speaks!!!

[@LunCham]

This is how Thorin used to put filli and killi to bed

[@Time2Begin]

This guy keeps getting better... and more adorable.

[@mrsmulder2]

God I really really love him... his voice is wow! and richard is so CUTE in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@VintageLady1980]

This is too cute! He has such a soothing voice. Man, why can't I get him to read him a bedtime story? Somehow I don't think I'd fall asleep so quickly, though. ;)

[@TheBlackHorse92]

It's rather surreal to see him doing this, but it's also very sweet.... and his voice is so dreamy.... and his smile... and everything about him really =P

[@Elliebet]

So good. He is a really good story teller:)!!! Thanks

[@jordansh4445]

Number one... I melted when he just said "hi" Number two.... I melted when he said "goodnight" Number three... I melted because i love the bed time stories he reads. Number four.... I melted the first time i heard his voice three years ago. Number five.... I just love him!

[@kangarooju]

This is amazing. I love him!

[@msdarcy33]

The cuteness factor on this is ridiculous :)

[@AloutkaKazawa]

True, so true. But however not-my-cup-of-tea he might be I love this story I'm not going out there and it's performance here - it's delighful. thanx medelle for uploading

[@jenniferlangford9693]

This is just too adorable!

[@jordansh4445]

This is super cute! i was actually looking for his audio book "Sylvester" but could not find it and happened to come upon to here! at first i could not stop laughing because he was on this bed time for toddlers and now i have been watching them all day practically! :3 I feel bad that i laughed because now i get so exited when i hear these kids stories.

[@chloeee___3]

james nesbitt HAS to do one of these!!!!!

[@moralityisnotsubjective5]

Best bedtime story EVER! :) He can read to me anytime

[@staceyjizzaine]

Gorgeous Man! Guess im the 10,000th woman to watch this before bedtime. I wonder how many kids actually get to watch this without mummy being in the way? Lol

[@virginie81]

Love this ^^ He's so cute telling betime stories

[@vsmith898]

haha! Thorin says he likes dragons! this is too good! :P

[@luisalane93]

Oh!!!!! I adore his voice, I'd be happy very happy if he reads a bedstory to me....he's so cute...

[@MsCookieJonas]

THE CUTENESS. IT'S TOO MUCH. Gosh, he's gorgeous O.O

[@nausicaa17]

Ahaha, I was riveted! XD I never thought I'd enjoy a bedtime story that much.

[@cxena]

he is absolutely brillant!

[@punjabitouch89]

i love RA i love his voice i love his eyes i love his hair i love himmmm

[@eyepoood]

LMAO omg. *gasm* this is the most entrancing thing i've ever watched. LMAO THE GHOST VOICE. OMG OMG OMG.

[@pipsicalpopsical]

Totally agree! I cant belive people are getting angry!? personally i would rather see him in things more than just replying to mail! i sure he will as soon as he get the time and also agree with he has a life too! Poor man! Im following him in what ever he does all the way!

[@BobbinandGuidoShow]

thanks so much for posting this! bless! i wonder how many kids have been plonked in front of the tv so mum can watch ricky! love it!

[@alexkrycek21]

Am amazed. He's so good at this though. I think he'd make a great Dad.

[@SerenTwilight]

i love his hair, omg i am in love...

[@CinnamonRunawayGirl]

Just...

[@elwren75]

I say the same thing about myself, really. Thank heaven for a screen-name. Very few people know what it is, and that makes me happy, because I wouldn't say half the stuff in real life that I let myself get away with here. YT gives me protection, and I'm grateful for that. Richard, if you are reading (ha ha), we are all harmless, I think. We just have a healthy appreciation of your talent and other great attributes.

[@Ronium1]

i'm laughing tears!! XD i've just watched an episode of robin hood, and now this!!! bwahahaha

[@ewikaGS]

Hehe and there is a big difference between guy of gisborne and this Richard!😁

[@fallenidol_453]

He. Is. ADORABLE!

[@EP3197]

This is so appropriate, because all I think about is bed when he is on screen.

[@elwren75]

I found him through a fanvideo someone did in response to a Rufus Sewell fanvideo (whom I also like, but not as much as RA at this point). I remembered the clips from N&S and I went looking for it and found it on YT (God bless YT!). That's when the craziness started. I don't really have a favorite actor, just a top 5 actor list. Now, I think RA nearly leaves the other 4 in the dust.

[@LittleBigMiracles]

Lol the beginning :D I love his voice (:

[@starwarsthemesong]

oh i am going to bed very happy indeed. that mans voice does something to me.

[@quibily]

CUTE! XD I liked his ghost voice.

[@nicothecat]

omg how brilliant! Richard would make a great father! :D

[@MaturinGirl]

oh my god, this is so cute!!! wish i had kids to show them...

[@pamkpjuly12prodvideo]

How cool is that??? Loved it!

[@Dunnettfan]

All right, there are now 3 generations of females in our family in love with RA. The 5 year old adores the one here. The 17, 29 and 54 year old are enraptured by the dark and dangerous RA in North and South and as Guy in Robin Hood. This man is powerful.

[@ChocolateIsMyDrug]

I don't think I've ever paid so much attention to a bedtime story, even when I was a kid! LOL, I wonder why...

[@19852943]

al the time i was like...awwww.....really that was soooooooooo cute!

[@gremlin19720]

This is so sweet......

[@donnashanklin]

This is a great series of TV spots with Armitage reading them. I wonder if the sales of the books he read went up after he read them in 2006? He has done the audio for several audiobooks too and I have bought the book and audiobook of "Sylvester" because he does narrates it. Amazing voice. But I am an American --we love a Brit accent.

[@soniaposin]

thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

[@Alishondra]

That is so adorable!

[@bernyp89]

Yeah! He is just...(sigh). OMG!!! I think moms were happier than kids with these bedtime stories.:)

[@OrangeQueenie]

he so lovely ...

[@LanaLamprouge]

on one hand i'm wondering why he's reading kid's stories.... on another HIS VOICE IS SO AWESOME!!!

[@elwren75]

Both, please. I'll see him anyway I can.

[@sevillana75]

Richard, I thought that I couldn't be more crazy about you than I already am, but after watching this (I'd never seen it before) you've proved me wrong! You're so deliciously perfect!!!

[@echoingdrum]

"And now it's time for you to go to bed. Good night. See you soon." This is probably the best thing a girl could hear him say.

[@magoini]

This is the last thing I watch everynight, just before I go to bed, and I sleep like a baby... and I have nice dreams :-D

[@yvonne1202]

I've heard Mr. Armitage read a couple of books by Georgette Heyer and he's incredibly talented. He changes his voice to fit the characters just like this and draws you in. He's good! BTW... super HOT in N&S.

[@elwren75]

You know what? I think I actually first saw him in Shakespeare Retold's version of MacBeth. RA has a very small role as MacDuff, but it was actually that character that had a very powerful impact on me. I don't know why I didn't remember that he played that part til now. In this, he has children at it is so cute. He loses his temper, but then feels bad about it and its sweet. You can find RA's clips from it on YT by searching BBC Shakespeare Retold - Richard Armitage in "MAKBETH".

[@margaretregan1532]

You've got the right idea, Chica! ; )The man is GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS!!!! Isn't he just adorable in that black shirt & jeans???? Sigh......

[@VintageLady1980]

LOL! I never imagined I'd enjoy a bedtime story so much at my age. Hmmm...I am not sure why I was so into this. There has to be a reason! ;D

[@elwren75]

I know, isn't Harry adorable?! I still think I love John Thornton the most, but that might just be because I love that intense stare of his (when he's looking out the window after the riot). OMG. Its hard not to just faint from that expression.

[@memymomalex]

OMG!!! SOOOOO ADORABLE! i need to have babies with him

[@Clempath]

This is so cute... he's bad ass and he can be sweet and gentle. PERFECT MAN. Yeah, I said it.

[@ExiledSoul12]

Anyway this is such an adorable story, and he tells it so well too :'D

[@TempestPlusTeapot]

I CAN'T DO THIS!!! The juxtaposition of sexy, sexy sexiness and children's stories is BLOWING MY MIND!!!

[@MACbaby1492]

Oh my frackin gawd! After his sexy promiscuous and semi-evil characters... This has me in stitches!

[@frenchylili]

OMG ! it's true that his voice is beautiful ! Iwould love if he read adult bedtime stories. Waouh ! It would be really a dream like his voice ! Something sweet and hot in the same times !

[@crazydaisygirl9]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh i hope we'll see you soon richard!!!!!!

[@SiN3mOn]

oh goodness, it's only a children's novel but his voice changes things

[@quibily]

You can't say good night and just forget to tuck me in, Richard!

[@Morikumo]

I so agree! :D But he's so adorable.

[@somegirlkate]

Kudos to the costume dept for the tight black T-shirt and jeans! Help's me understand the story.

[@fmervick]

I will go wherever Richard tells me to go.

[@soniaposin]

Im studying English language and this semester we are talking about stylistics, by now about phonetic devices in literature, to be precise. This story is a perfect example for that, so I tried to rewrite it as he narrates it.

[@pennyroyal59]

I am sure he has had many relationships - who would say no to going out with him - come on! I agree with whoever posted that he would make a great Dad. Watching him read bedtime stories - He is in his mid-30's he should probably start soon - can you imagine how adorable his kids would be - again I just want him to be happy and keep working of course so we can all still drool over him and dream! (smile)

[@hopeeaton459]

Why couldn't have this been on when i was a kid. Seriously.

[@bullyhuepf]

I love his voice *-*
