Guy of Gisborne Appreciation Page Print

rip


Sir Guy of Gisborne is no more. Villainy personified, anti-hero searching for redemption, misguided, dangerous, selfish, humiliated or wronged...however long you have followed the antics of Sir Guy and however you think of him, he has played a significant part in Richard's career. Love him or hate him, it'll be difficult to forget him. Nor can we forget the hair, the costumes, the strange and bizarre mustard scarf of ick in s1, the heroic fighting skills that improved the moment he left the dark side, the double act with Vasey, the temptation of Marian, the boost in sales of miniature dolls and super-posable horses, the pictures, the fanfic, and finally...the untimely but noble death *sob*. (Damn you Vasey).

 

He's also the reason that many of Richard's fans, ourselves included, became friends. What do you think of Guy and how will you remember him? Let us know here.

 

RIP Guy, we'll miss you.

  • Blu Sun  - Hello

    I LOVE S.G.G B)

  • pi  - Booo! Hissssss!

    Beautiful loser. Rather Shakespearean. A lonely life. A lonely death. Unloved.

    After being repulsed by him for so long, (ick, nast) in the end he broke my heart. Damn you, Richard Armitage!

    Guy of Gisborne...And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

  • Marian of Gisborne  - Goodbye my love

    He was the in the top 3 best characters to me (the other two where Robin and Marian). All the heartache to die alone. May he live in heaven with Robin, Marian, and Meg. :( :( :(

  • cmg  - A tinge oafish

    :evil: :dry: :lol:
    Ok the sexy black seductive stuff worked
    but
    Gisborne often had his tail between his legs
    he just could not please that sadist Vesey.He was always screwing up the operation when it came to killing Robin there were many downright failures. He only got a glow from Marian when she wanted to use him for something or other.Pity Pity Guy
    Actually I guess he was as smart as he looked,,dumb.

    I think Richard was disappointed at all the stir his handsome svelte body was causing and started to
    ham up the character If he had not changed into an outlaw he could have been a ghastly clown. Oh wELL MAYBE NEXT TIME. :whistle:

  • Lady of Girsborne XDD  - I love him

    Sir Richard Armitage I'm oficially in love with you!! :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

  • wildflower  - Can't believe its over

    :P I fell for sexy Guy the first time I saw him on RH and hate it that the show is over. I found the second series on BBCA and quickly ordered the first one, and ordered the third as soon as it became available.

  • jubjub  - guy

  • Kym

    Sorry, I'm a bit of an ignoramous. I have yet to see Robin Hood. But I have remedied this and have ordered the complete box set of DVDs. No doubt I will overdose of RA over Christmas, but what a way to go!

    I have just spent this week watching RH Season 3 and I have to admit you really miss the presence of Marian..It's just not the same without her and I don't like Kate much at all. No wonder the show got cancelled.

    But it's Kudo's for Lucy Griffith who made the character of Marian so memorable....Still missing Guy *sobs* :unsure:

  • Cathy Young  - What an amazing character

    I just recently got into the BBC Robin Hood, and what got me hooked was, without a question, Sir Guy. A fascinating character beautifully brought to life by Richard Armitage. I would have SO tuned in for a Series 4 with Guy as the new Robin Hood, but alas, it was not to be. Really would have preferred him alive at the end, though the death scene was amazing.

    Luckily I still have a lot of episodes to catch up on -- I'm only up to the end of Series 1 on the DVDs, and only saw about half of Series 3. Looking forward to more Sir Guy!

    By the way, I totally disagree with those who think the series was unworthy of RA's talent. Sure, the plots were often ridiculous and some of the "message" stuff was heavy-handed at times, but it was good fun AND some very intelligent dialogue and characterization. Not to mention some great acting from other cast members -- Joe Armstrong as Allan, Sam Troughton as Much, Lucy Griffiths as Marian, Keith Allen (of course!) as the Sheriff, and even Jonas Armstrong's too-boyish and cheeky Robin Hood grew on me eventually. Still, Richard (and Guy) was definitely the best.

  • faithful lady

    Dear Guy.

    A month has passed since your untimely demise and still I yearn for:

    Your rippling thighs, your underlined eyes.

    Your attempts at love, your funny glove.

    Your smile, your sneer,

    Your roars, your leather gear.

    But most of all your presence dear.

  • Phylly3  - faithful lady's poem

    I love your poem!
    It's perfect! Thanks for posting it.javascript:JOSC_emoticon(":)";)

  • maureen o hara

    has the bbc realised yet the folly of their decision please please please reconsider and make season 4 with season 3 being a dream i think it could work after all it was good enough for bobby ewing :

  • Rowena  - Mourning for you my love

    Goodbye my lovely dark knight. You are gone but you will always live in my heart and in my dreams.

  • Me  - RIP Guy

    With its risible dialogue, painfully aware political correctness, contrived plot devices, dodgy CGI, polystyrene castles, confused looking extras and outlaws that were certainly nothing to write home about (the list of its failings can go and on), Robin Hood - essentially I know just a kids TV programme that owed a lot more than anything to Tony Robinson's 'Maid Marian and Her Merry Men', but alas not as funny - was without doubt right from episode one, the worst version of Robin Hood I have ever seen.....
    Yet week after week I tuned in to watch, or to be more exact I tuned in to watch the compelling Sir Guy of Gisborne.
    It's ironic that in an earlier interview Richard Armitage compared his character to a robot, when in reality due to his acting abilities and despite a shoddy script, which often relegated him to the background. Gisborne was not only the most interesting but also the most human character in the entire series.

    I can't say that I am sorry Robin Hood has ended. I would rather the licence fee be used to fund quality drama instead, and even though I am saddened to be unable to see Guy anymore, I have always known that the actor who so wonderfully played him was wasted in this show.

    In short, Robin Hood may not have been all that I had hoped for but because of it I now know who the actor Richard Armitage is, and for that alone I am really grateful.

  • claire  - nooooooooooo
