Poor Richard, his characters always get the shaft... when writers decided to have Guy kill Marian it pretty much killed the entire series. He's such a phenomenal actor and added the depth to North's character that a script alone can't create. Your video is awe-some! Great clips timed perfectly to the song (can't ever go wrong with Coldplay!) and the action sequences at the end were so powerful, I got emotional watching the rise and fall of such an amazing character. Thanks for the tribute : )
@pinnoable1 So if you don't like Lucas or Richard Armitage then why did you watch this video? Since clearly in the title it says Lucas North in it. I mean if you want to talk crap about Richard Armitage then I suggest you don't do it on my videos because they mainly consist of him.
@katyshearsmith It's a good thing I have seen the last episode or else I would be upset over the last couple of comments on my YT videos. People revealing the ending of Spooks! I think it would be nice to refrain from commenting about it for a few days because it spoils it for other people who have not seen it yet. Thank you. My mom is great and thank you for the condolences. :-)
Heather! Just another comment to say that this video is perfect from the beginning to the end. Awesome timing, brilliant "grid" effects, fantastic overlays... I could continue a lifetime!! And I noticed that you edited the song? The CD version I bought (thanks to your vid BTW) is 45 seconds longer. If so, then I have to add that the audio 'cut' is completely unnoticed. FANTASTIC editing! Loong ago that I faved this and gave 5*. Ten million stars are not enough LOL And it's on my iPod ;-D
@pinnoable1 Thanks for the comment on the ACTUAL video. Did you think Lucas was shit before the ending of Season 9? My guess is NO. This video was made before the writers messed up his character so if you want to talk about how Spooks sucks perhaps you should do it on a forum/discussion board!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video!!! Thanks so much for sharing your great talent in such a moment but I understand sometimes you need to be occupied just for not being very worried... I'm very happy for you and your mum and aunt for the great news. Keep making this fantastic vids!
You could always order the UK versions! You would just need to get a multiregion DVD player but it might be worth it with all the Richard stuff! LOL It is a great season with Richard in it! Thanks!!
Someone out there is giving my comments from people a thumbs down! PLEASE STOP! I don't know who you are or why you are doing it but seriously get a life! I see what you are doing! Not nice...
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video, it seems to be very important. Brilliantly sad, yet hopeful and beautifully made. Top marks and I hope things work out for the best. x
It is about the MI5 agents in London. They take care of national security. It is a really well written show! I like it a lot even if Richard Armitage was not in it. ;-)
Wonderful video Heather, some really original editing with the grid, which is perfect for the grid LOL, I loved it from start to finish. So emotional and perfect for Lucas!
I love this video, it is my favourite clip with Richard! I find it absolutely perfect. I added it to a post in my blog about SPOOKS and I credited you, of course!
@pinnoable1 If you don't like the actor or the character, then why come onto a video specifically about the character when all you're gonna do is bad-mouth him to the fans who actually care? It's simply rude, impolite, and stupid. At least learn some manners and courtesy. Go comment on some forum or another if you just wanna talk bad about the character, your rude words have nothing to do with this video that is dedicated to Lucas.
@ruideng111 They did copped out, if you listen to the commentary on the Series 9 DVD, they basically just said that they thought this was interesting and they never actually thought about an explanation of how Lucas/John pretended to be someone to get inside MI5. It's simply lazy stupid writing. I am deeply disappointed and lost faith in these writers. This video just reminds me of everything that is amazing and good about Lucas and how much I miss him!! It makes me cry!
@lorrainewands You can find episodes online. Message me if you need links. Spooks is a great show, it's probably one of the best I've seen, it's truly the ONLY show I know that is SO unpredictable. I also recommend watch Merlin, Doctor Who, or Torchwood, they are all British shows that are wonderful, although I don't know if you are a Sci-Fi or fantasy fan. But either way, these three shows are personal favorites of mine along with Spooks.
@HeathDances I'm still hoping against all hope that the writers have some genius plan to turn things around, but I just don't know. I just can't swallow that this character who was so loyal and good for the last two series is just a straight-up psychopath! I mean, what happened to the character being ambiguous, complex, and having both shades of light and dark?
Heather, this was brilliant! I have yet to truly experience Richard as Lucas North...I'm having to wait for the DVD of Spooks series 7 to be released in the US. And, this amazing vid makes the waiting all the more painful! LOL! Loved it!
Brilliant editing!!!! Love the "grid'; Love Spooks; Love Richard; Love Coldplay; Love your videos... Love is in the air thanks to you (& Zosia for sending it my way) I hope your Mom and Aunt will get better - my prayers are with them
@misssyndrome The writers just completely destroyed all our good memories of Lucas, even looking at it now, they just made it all into a lie! I hate it! They ruined everything I love about Lucas, this video just makes me cry!
Beautiful video, I especially love the grid idea it is a wonderful metaphore for what he must be going through. Sorry to hear about yoyr mom and aunt. I will keep them in my prayers as well as you.
You are absolutely amazing. You truly have a gift. What a way to show your love to your mom and aunt. I'll keep them in my prayers. Keep up the amazing work! It's really inspiring.
This is amazing. It's so brilliant, I love the sequencing. The grid was brilliant, especially how it seems like it fits into the story line. The song choice was fabulous. Does anyone know how I can watch this series?? pleeeeeeeeeease someone, I need to know how to see it, it looks awesome...
Forgot how gorgeous Lucas was, why did they kill him off?/ Well maybe he went to the CIA and came back as Daniel Miller in Berlin Station, out now. lovely song so soulful. Thankyou Heathra - only just seen this!
:'O First off, Richard Armitage!!! Secondly, is Spooks a movie or a tv show? Cause either way, I HAVE to watch it now. Lol. This was just fantastic Heather. Absolutely beautiful. I loved the editting!!
Really thought Lucas North had enough demons to deal with without the John Bateman thrown in. If only they'd continued in the vein of season 7! Great video, thank you :) feels all around *:)*
Great, professional quality. I am sorry about your mom and aunt and hope it will be a short fight and victorious solution! I have not been able to view Spooks (MI5, here in America) past season/series 5!!! AGH!! I get it through Netflix. When will 6 come out? I also get BBC America and they don't seem to have up to the minute BBC stuff and even their old stuff is...well, there just isn't that much variety offered. So, thanks for another great video. Any ideas for Richard and "Mama Mia" songs?
Hi there Heather! This is really good!!! Again, the perfect match of song and snippetts! Mr. Tatoo is of course really really looking good, like the superstar he has become (thanks to dedicated fans such as yourself) and will be from this show!;-) BTW, my mother is a huge Coldplay fan, got their autographs at a recent concert...and she is 74!!! She loved RA in The Impressionists also! Thanks Heather, I wish you and your mother and auntie all the best...;-)
Great video, as always, Heather. I agree with you and all the other fans who think the writers should be flogged for what they did to Season 9. It is to RA's credit that he was able to act such a betrayal of his character. And pay no attention to the haters on YT - - I think they're just trying to bait you.
This is an amazing video. It makes me really want to watch the show! Then again, I want to see everything with Richard Armitage. Hehehe I don't know how you do all the effects you do...but you do them very well! I'm sorry about your family. :( I hope everything turns out wonderfully in the end and that this video was therapeutic for you. :)
I'm still in morning, still can't believe they turned him into a psychopath then killed him off, could they not had let him make it right and tell us why he did what he did :'( Great Video by the way XD I hope your mum is alright, I'm sorry about your aunt (I know it's late but I thought I would say)
For several days I've been wanting to comment on this video but everytime I tried I would get choked-up and I think you know why Heather, but I really wanted to say how much I love this video, how utterly perfect it is, and it also has become something special for me. God bless. xoxox
Fantastic video Heather. I'm usually not a big fan of Coldplay but it worked so well in your video. Loved your clips and effects. 5*, faves and shared Sorry to hear about your Mum and Aunt. Hope they get better soon. Keep strong. My prayers are with you.
heather, this is amazing, whenever I start to have Lucas withdrawals I know what to watch. Love all the clips you used, and the music, the way you had the clips change with the music, was so cool. The grid is so ingenious-love that, so many pictures, where to look, LOL. Love it!!love it!!Brilliant.
When you're too in love, to let it go but if you never try you'll never know.. how beautiful!!!lights will guide you home... and I will try-to heal your heart -See, I changed the words, "fix you" is something you do to machines. oh my, someone's really really is obsessed with this song. haha
1. Where the guitar 'steps in' in the song, the visual in the video matches perfectly.......great idea with the grid in the backgroud and the floating pictures over it! 2. It is a shame how this character turned out in the end....
I just realized this was a Coldplay song, and that Richard once said in an interview he loved Coldplay and was looking forward to their concert in Budapest. Did this affect your choice of the music for the video?
What a beautiful video. Being a new RA-fan, I am new at Spooks too. Series 9 kind of put me off watching the previous series again. But thanks to your video I really enjoy watching all of this again. Thank you for sharing. as mentioned before, I too think you are very talented.
This video is my favorite video on youtube. I love making videos/ movies, but I hope to one day be as talented as you are. Thank you so much, and please continue to make these high quality videos. :-)
Thanks! I knew at least one or two snippets were on YT but didn't want to ruin the series by watching a little here a little there. And like you said, didn't want to screw up season 6. But, I WILL! Thanks.
Your videos just keep getting better as I go down your list:) This is one of my favorites, and Coldplay's lyrics fit beautifully. You really have a knack for this. Thanks again!
i tihnk the writers just copped out and took an easy route by turning lucas into a nutjob. im quite annoyed about it. its not a particularly clever or big way of writing.
Believe me or not but u are REALLY talented. Your video match the lyrics in 100% which is very rare. i'm looking forward to your next videos. GREAT JOB :)

OMG, that was so brilliant. Perfectly edited. Just beautiful...like the man himself!
I love it
*drools* Fantastic as always. :) He's SO fit!

The video is beautiful, and the actor is a super man, Oh God is divine ... I wish your mother and your aunt a speedy recovery
Wow I've never seen Spooks, I may now have to go watch it just for him- because of this fantastic video- GEORGOUS work!
@BetaArtemis I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still really upset over it!! I can't believe the writers did that!!
Thank you so much!! I am not in the video editing biz but I wish! I am a graphic designer though ;-)
@008AnnMarie Thank you so much AnnMarie! I feel the same way you do about the last season. :(

This man is just sooo drop dead gorgeous, sex on legs ... a beautiful man. I might start stalking him haha

GREAT JOB :)
I was already in love with Lucas North before this video... and you just made him all the more beautiful! Thanks for the vid :). Amazing!
If you want to catch Richard's episodes, all of season 7 can be found on RUclips . I hadn't watched seasons 3-6 and had no problem following.
HeathDances - a really great video, very creative, it's going on my favorites. I just can't get over the creativity that you all have.
Only two days left!! SQUEE!!
It won't load for me...argh!
Is the name of this character some kind of a joke for a guy who played in North and South? Very English sense of humour, I believe :)
Fabulous video, thanks soooooo much for uploading.
Instant fav! Superb video!
I can tell that you put your whole heart and soul in it...creativity is a beautiful outlet for expression....
Continue being creative darling
Cheers
:O! This has to be the best fanvid I have ever had the fortune to see! It is stunning! Well done and Thank you! :D 5*'s
Just found this video and it is fabulous. Thank you for sharing this and letting us enjoy RA.
All Love
Padme A'Tea
Just fantastic Heather. I love RA as Lucas but when you do something like this it just takes it to a whole new level.
OMG!!! Heather, I saw this a while back but just watched it again and it is spectacular! Fab,fab, fab! 5stars =)
Just watched the last spooks ep. I cried my eyes out! I wanted to hug Lucas! :((((
Fantastic vid Heather! Love the song you used! 5* and faves! My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
Very, very fine work, well done. Perfect!
Thank you very much for that great video. It is also my favorite one of Spooks. Magnificently done!!
wow, that's awesomely put together! Only two days left until the next series!!! *is beyond excited*
Wow! I love it. I didn't get it was the song by Coldplay!!!Beautiful Heather!!!!!this is so sad!!!!
It's my own fault for reading, but I can't believe what I just read! I'm on episode 5 of s9 :*(
My second name is north.. i dont think its meant to be a joke just a second name chosen a random
Honestly, this video is gorgeous! Fantastic editing and theme! I seriously wish I had your talent!
So sorry for your loss and the troubles you are going through. Beautiful video, lovely song.
I noticed that too. How lame!
I think someones jealous.
I love the video. Ignore the moron.
=)
Thanks for sharing Zosia. Powerful video. It's amazing how well the song goes with the clips.
I think this is the best fan video I've ever seen! It must have taken you ages. Well done!
