Dick Heads: The Beginning

Richard Armitage at the BAFTAs

Well, for our new feature, thanks to the lovely and inspired Jane Henry and Andrea, we appear to have settled on an actor (Richard Armitage), a format (pictures, usually taken by fans, that mainly focus on his head, with bonus points if he’s wearing a hat) and a corresponding name (Dick Heads).

Other than that, let’s see how it goes – normally these things grow organically as people get inspired. If you all one to write captions, love poetry or even haiku about the pictures or want to turn it into a competition à la Sitting Tennant, that’ll be your choice.

To get the ball rolling, here’s Richard Armitage in close up from the 2007 BAFTAs.

So, I’m putting out the call – pictures, please. Either leave a URL below or email me them. We’re going to start off slowly, just so we don’t use them up too quickly, so I’m only going to be needing one or two a week. Over to you!
