The Lord Chancellor in England was a key figure who oversaw the judicial system and presided over the Court of Chancery, where disputes were resolved based on equity and justice. He also acted as the Speaker of the House of Lords, leading debates and contributing to legislation. Additionally, he was a close advisor to the king, providing legal and political counsel. The Lord Chancellor had the authority to appoint judges and issue decrees, making him a central figure in the administration of justice and the politics of the realm.
Martyn Green and I have one thing in common at least - the same birthday (April 22). A worthy successor to Sir Henry Lytton. Pity there aren't any stereo recordings of him.
@@trinitymplayers Plus this movie and his appearances on Alistair Cooke's 1950s Omnibus television show showcases his physical wit as well as his clear diction and amused reactions to the lyrics.
I can't understand how anyone could dislike this - This is how things were done before "New Labour" not only abolished Hereditary Peers but also The Lord Chancellor himself - for No good reason ! New Labour - New Public Hangings !
That guy holding his train does a good job of keeping up!
I love the way the footman (?) carrying the train dances in step.
The proper title is train bearer.
@trinitymplayers. Thank you.
@@Arkelk2010 The trainbearer was cute. 🙂
I liked how he clicked his heels!

There are plenty of recordings of him in existence, though.

Well said, Colonel.
I think the film is actually called The Gilbert and Sullivan Story
The American release was called "the great"
i would love to wear the peer costume. where can i get it?
I'm playing Strephon in two weeks. The peer costumes really aren't that complicated actually.
Ede and Ravenscroft. But first you need to be elevated to the peerage 🙄

The singing Doctor Who
Um... I thought there still were both of those.
Peter Pratt was better in every respect. He didn't ham it up like Green.
