Who Do You Think You Are

[craft1948]

Just watched this featuring Brian Blessed.................is he mad?

[cupid04]

I wasn't going to watch his one...but found it genuinely moving.

[gness]

Yes.....and well done for watching.....I can't bear him...x

[royfromaus]

IS HE MAD?

POSSIBLY!

[craft1948]

I can't stand him either, he ruins HIGNFY, but thought I'd give him a chance. All he seemed to do was make things up and imagine everything..

[Obiter]

Shame on you all! The man is not mad, merely stark raving bonkers.

[gness]

Imagine being stuck in a lift with him......☻

[sandyRoe]

what his background? anyone interesting?

[ludwig]

I love Brian Blessed.

[cupid04]

It was nice his great grand father was re-united with his brother after last seeing each other in the work house after their parents had died. Okay I'm sentimental and mad...

[craft1948]

Nothing really Sandy, just the usual...........paupers, workhouse, rose above it etc. I'm surprised it was featured as apparently if your forebears are too boring they scrap the show.

[sandyRoe]

I'd bet there's a lot of us would have ancestors who saw the inside of workhouses

[cupid04]

The little doggie he was talking to at the beginning was quite cute, don't you agree??

[Lie-in King]

Recorded it, unlikely to watch it with any enthusiasm, he's as mad as a box of frogs IMO

[cupid04]

Where would we be if we were all the same??

[sandyRoe]

could his loud voice have rattled the wits out of him?

[baza]

He was good in "Z CARS " now always seems to be ott, but then he is a luvvie, I was not going to bother tonight but I'm glad I did, a very interesting programme. imo.

[ludwig]

// could his loud voice have rattled the wits out of him? //

I think it's the other way round sandy. He only started shouting all the time after he lost his wits. The same thing happened to my mum.

[Bathsheba]

Don't know if the swear filter will allow this, but I've just done this c+p from a Twitter feed which made me chuckle.....;)

Used to think Brian Blessed was q amusing. After WDYTYA tonight, I think he's a gobshite.

[sandyRoe]

'Gobshite' is a bit strong. I think some actors make the mistake of forgetting that they're there to mouth other peoples words and their own, no matter how good they think that are, often aren't quite good enough.

[sandyRoe]

ludwig, sorry to hear that.
