Brilliant how he speaks in the third person. Just as it should be.
I think Wolf Hall's Thomas Moore impression was a knock out.
I love Ben Miller
The funny bit? The faces on the five at the director's table.
So, not at all related to the historical novel Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, which has five Thomases among its characters?
Also, all three Thomases mentioned are in the Shakespeare canon or the apocrypha. Wolsey is the plum role in _Henry VIII_ (co-authored with John Fletcher), _Sir Thomas More_ is a play by Anthony Munday that Shakespeare contributed a revised scene to (Hand D), which is often excerpted and performed on its own as "The Strangers' Case", and _Thomas Lord Cromwell_ was a play performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men and attributed to "W. S." on its first printing. Evidently from the fact that it was played by Shakespeare's company and attributed to W. S., Philip Chetwinde printed it as Shakespeare's own work in the second impression of the Third Folio (1664).
It is a parody of the BBC TV production of Wolf Hall, where the bloody director had his actors constantly giving "long penetrating stares" and other such "subtle" mannerisms. He's even dressed exactly like the guy playing Thomas Cromwell. That production ruined one of my favourite books so I take great delight in this quite savage takedown of it.
@@kenoliver8913 Brilliant!
Ben Miller is doing a parody of Mark Rylance who played Thomas Cromwell in the BBC series based on the Mantel book.
The Actor, Wolf Hall | Upstart Crow | BBC Comedy Greats 1904pm 30.1.23 the actor wolf tone, perhaps... or is that too too controversial?
Very funny. Didn’t Tommy Cooper do something like this?
Ah, just wrote the same. Didn't see your comment.
Yes, it's very good, but I'm still not convinced by Burbage and Kempe.
A missed opportunity of a Wolf Farce joke.
But I do find the whole series Half Farced.
Reminded me of the great Tommy Cooper.
Extraordinary how Ben Elton could produce ghastly rubbish like Blessed and The Wright Way, and then write this work of absolute brilliance. Still, I’m glad he did!!
nothing extraordinary about it given he also did a lot of Blackadder or The Thin Blue Line, and plenty other hilarious stuff. Ben Elton had far more hits then misses in his career, seriously no point in questioning his ability to write/produce comedy. Silly to act as if its a surprise that he delivers something great.
