Fantastic. My sister who is a trained actress met Kenneth Branagh and said he is the sweetest most down to earth guy, devoid of any airs and graces, totally humble and chatty...just as he is here...she liked him immesnsely. Two good guys here...no question.
I always though old Kenneth was a bit pompous but bugger me he's actually a thoroughly decent chap and comes across very well , I owe you an apology Mr Brannagh , this is the beauty of these longer format interviews , can we have David Mitchell next ?
I love these videos, so different from talk show interviews. It's more like I'm sitting at the table next to 2 friends catching up and reliving great memories.
@@Stantheman848 I thought it was great. I imagine it's a tough job, with such limited locations. Or maybe it's easier, im not a filmmaker so I don't know. I think he was was very good as poirot ; Albert finney was amazing however. Many hate his performance, I'm aware.
Kenneth Branagh has done more for Shakespeare than any other living person. He took the intimidation factor out of it for me when I was 12 and saw his version of Othello on the movie screen. I was blown away
I can’t imagine how you can come to that conclusion about a person that you’ve never met or spent any time with. My knowledge of him is limited to the film industry. And in that area I believe he’s a genius. It seems some people can’t get their head out of politics Long enough to just enjoy life.
@@thedingo8833 Well neither have you met him or spent anytime with him so right away your commented is negated. You are also correct that your knowledge is limited. Do your research. I have. Tara
@@Hannah-pk6iq you got that right Karen, I do not know him on a personal level and have made that clear. I am commenting “only” on his body of work, which is publicly available. So therefore my comment does NOT negate itself. YOU however, Have come to the conclusion that you don’t like the guy on a personal level, and I repeat, you have never met him. Its telling when people can claim to dislike someone they have never met and haven’t had any meaningful conversation with.
Pure enjoyment! These are not really interviews, just friends chatting, and catching up. There are no nerves, or hesitant moments, which make them easy to listen too. Also liking the mustard trousers with the amazing blue shirt Rob, nice combination!
An absolute joy. A consummate professional and a humble man in spite of all his great achievements. Sir Kenneth Branagh not so bad either. We have got to figure out a way to get Rob Brydon's interviews in front of a wider audience in the US. A total fan of both great gents.
Wonderful Kenneth Branagh -- I so enjoyed this! As an actor myself, it's fabulous to hear actors talking about the craft, especially when all our theatres and pubs are closed, so there's no gathering at the pub afterwards to discuss everything that went wrong in the show. I was wondering which farce they were talking about, and will have to look it up. Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to live without "ROB BRYDON" if this comes to an end at the end of COVID! Please don't let it come to an end...
This was a wonderful interview! Rob, you are a brilliant interviewer. You bring out stories from your guests that they have never or rarely shared before. Thank you for doing this.
I saw these 2 in a comedy play a couple of years ago and it was the funniest comedy I have ever seen , they were so good together and had great comedic timing !
Absolutely brilliant! I was lucky enough to see The Painkiller in Belfast with both of them, around 3 or 4 times in a row in a couple of days at the end of the run. They were fantastic and made all the audience laugh like crazy! About that last story about Ivanov, that didn't happen when I saw it, haha!
I know most wax lyrical about his Shakespeare but for me his absolute best work was in wallander. Yes it was well received but not sure his actual acting in that was given the recognition it deserved.
What do you mean 'final episode of series 2'?!!! Thank you for sharing these great conversations with us, Mr Brydon. Any idea when series 3 will start?
Branagh was filming in Merthyr- maybe 98. The theory of flight, very good film. He filmed some scenes in Cyfartha park. Thing is, I was playing tennis in the background (never spoke to crew). So is that me playing tennis, or is that me playing a character who is playing tennis in the world if the film. So, did I cease to exist whist filmed and become a chsracter? And can I now create a character name retrospectively?
I was there that day. Sitting on the benches in the terrace. He walked past me and smiled. I was not expecting the man to be there. I had seen him and Emma Thompson in look back in anger at the lyric theatre in about 87 or 88. Both brilliant. They got married the day after. By this point he was Helena BC. Who also walked past me that day. Almost fell of my bench. The Theory of Flight. Rubbish film but what a day that was at my old school taking in the sunshine. June 1998 I think.
@@NeilMaidmanhe seems a really nice guy - down to earth. Maybe his humble origins, certainly for a man of his stature, are part of it. I enjoyed the movie; especially his performance, but I always do.
And yet another person I'd invite to the famous hypothetical dinner party. I'd love to bend his ear about the film of Othello that he was in. And I promise NOT to bring up Artemis Fowl. ;-)

One of our greatest living actors, also nice to see Ken Branagh too. x
Well played sir and good on ye.
Nice :)
Is that you Rob?

The greatest living Shakespeare actor. A man of profound, faustian talent; deep emotional depths. And such a cute smile.
And Sir Kenneth Branagh is great too!
Happy birthday Ken!!!!!!
And the worst film maker in history. How terrible was his Murder on the Orient Express?
@@Stantheman848 Almost as bad as the movie you released. Oh dang, wait, you haven't made any movies. Sorry man, my bad.
@@Stantheman848 I thought it was great. I imagine it's a tough job, with such limited locations. Or maybe it's easier, im not a filmmaker so I don't know. I think he was was very good as poirot ; Albert finney was amazing however. Many hate his performance, I'm aware.
I looked up Kenneth Branagh's age, and he's 60 today, so happy birthday. He looks a lot younger to me.
Kenneth Branagh is the most genuine person so down to earth.Also he is an outstanding actor.That goes for you Rob as well.Take Care. 🥰🏴
Happy 60th BIrthday to Sir Ken today !!!
The more I see and learn of Kenneth Branagh, the more he rises in my estimation. He seems like a great guy.
He’s an immense human. Makes everyone around him feel equal and respected.
That was unexpected, could have listened to these two talk for hours
I love Sir Kenneth Branagh's work. Excellent director.
I didn't care for his remake of Murder on the Orient Express.
Neither did I, but his Shakespeare adaptations are delightful.
Kenneth Branagh has done more for Shakespeare than any other living person. He took the intimidation factor out of it for me when I was 12 and saw his version of Othello on the movie screen. I was blown away
I agree. but why accept the title 'Sir'. Not a lefty luvvy after all. Cant stand him

Another great interview Rob! A natural interviewer.
Even though I know nothing of the craft of acting, I love these conversations. Rob is charming, kind, and so talented.
Thanks Dan! Glad you loved the series so much 😊 - Alex, Channel Manager
@@RobBrydon thanks Alex. You also have done a great job this series! #InterviewAlex.
Sometimes it's easy with "chuckles" to forget how supremely accomplished he is mostly due to him seeming so grounded and approachable.
Pure enjoyment! These are not really interviews, just friends chatting, and catching up. There are no nerves, or hesitant moments, which make them easy to listen too. Also liking the mustard trousers with the amazing blue shirt Rob, nice combination!
Happy birthday Sir Kenneth!
To all the folks who made this interview happen, thank you. I adore these two together. Can't wait to see them working together again one day.
Sir Ken and Rob - two gentlemen who are always, always, full of child-like joy. Lovely interview!
help me in my work. answer that questionnaire. my grade depends on it. forms.gle/omPpycDeeJYv54cX9
Loved Kenneth I’m Wallander.
The real Wallander?! Pleasure to meet you Jenny Wallander 😉
Kenneth was amazeballs in Peter's Friends, such a lovely bittersweet gem, massively underrated as well
Underrated actor and director , directed Thor , which was a difficult film to make a success , national treasure
Wow ~ d'ya think that's why the poster is there???
He is the last person I would refer to as underrated. He is very well respected in the industry - I mean, he wasn’t knighted for nothing.
Knighted for theatre work, he is underrated in the movie world
Final episode...oh no! Please come back soon Rob! These interviews have been a joy to watch! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Wendy! Don't worry, we won't be gone for long 😊 - Alex, Channel Manager
I’m honored to have you as fan, thanks for being here all this while, much love ❤️❤️
Love Kenneth Branagh!
Another magical interview.... they just get better and better. Please keep them coming ....
Thanks to youtube, I have 2 of his speeches from Henry V in my favourites album. Fabulous actor and immensely likeable person.
Best episode yet. Thank you Mr Brydon. Thank you Mr Branagh.
An absolute joy. A consummate professional and a humble man in spite of all his great achievements. Sir Kenneth Branagh not so bad either. We have got to figure out a way to get Rob Brydon's interviews in front of a wider audience in the US. A total fan of both great gents.
Just wow! I saw this and was ...wow! Looking forward to watching later.
I think it’s time for a long form Rob Brydon podcast. I could listen to this for an hour and a half.
Yet another conversation that I could eavesdrop on for hours! What a fantastically interesting gent. Thanks Rob and team for bringing this! Dave J
These podcasts are the highlight of my week. Ive adored every single one of them. Thanks Rob
I'm loving them Mandy!

I saw these 2 in a comedy play a couple of years ago and it was the funniest comedy I have ever seen , they were so good together and had great comedic timing !
What was it?
The Painkiller -it was great !
@@Bella-qz5df Yes, went to Belfast to see it...hilarious!
Brilliant man. This has also made me even more desperate to be getting to work on stage again. I miss it so much
Genius! Love these chats.
Yessss, this is amazing! Thank you for this lovely interview, Rob x
A down to earth knight if ever there were one.
Amazing as always Mr. Brydon
Two intelligent, distinguished gentlemen having a chat. Ken doesn't look a day over 40. Just discovered and am loving this series thanks Rob.
Better than most other chat shows around

'Something went wrong.. probably you' 🤣 Classic
Rob is such a pro.
Very good really enjoyed that Cheers
Lovely interview👏🏻.
And now we know why: "there is something rotten in the State of Dunhill" 😉😁
I love when Rob gets a compliment and gives a look to the camera
Lovely way to pass a half hour, thanks.
Ken Branagh used to live near the bloke who did my uncles garden.
This was just the best way start to my day - thank you kindly Mr Brydon x
I’m honored to have you as fan, thanks for being here all this while, much love ❤️❤️

I really enjoy Wallander - I've watched series one. Looking forward to delving deeper.
@@andomando9303enjoy them, the quality continues through the subsequent series right to the end.
Another great interview Rob.
Love these chats!
So enjoyable thank you!
What a nice chap.
Kenneth Branagh is brilliant director and i never seen him yet before in person
Love this
I saw your play.... You both were terrific!
Rob you need to get on one of his Agatha Christie adaptations!
Ooh yes
His first one was dreadful.
@@Stantheman848 Stan go find a hobby other than trolling about MOTE. Thanks
8:08 is where Kenneth does his Hopkins impression
Just discovered your chanel here Rob. So happy.
Keep them coming Rob👍🏻
I only wish for the lockdown to continue so you have time to do these interviews, Rob. Very entertaining! And please call Coogan if you can :D
Great stuff!
What do you mean 'final episode of series 2'?!!!
Thank you for sharing these great conversations with us, Mr Brydon.
Any idea when series 3 will start?
The first time i saw him was in the BBC (I think it was) production of Wallander. I think he was very good in that one.
Your top ten Carry On films Sir Ken.......and GO
Hard to believe he was born and rared in Belfast.
Just come across your channel today and immediately subscribed. What an entertaining twenty or so minutes. Great stuff from you as always Rob.
Kenneth Branagh make me happy!!
Great interview
Thanks for this great interview..
Two legends.
Rob is really handsome eh, great hair! Two handsome fellas. Loved this ❤️
I love Kenneth Branagh but the shoddy workmanship of that bookcase is very distracting 😂
Wow he looks gorgeous
He was a great villain in Tenet..... I think?
“…I’m not telling you…” 😆
Branagh was filming in Merthyr- maybe 98. The theory of flight, very good film.
He filmed some scenes in Cyfartha park. Thing is, I was playing tennis in the background (never spoke to crew). So is that me playing tennis, or is that me playing a character who is playing tennis in the world if the film. So, did I cease to exist whist filmed and become a chsracter?

He is sooooo handsome. No Rob Brydon but still very handsome 😉
Steve may have an Oscar nom, but Rob has some very impressive friends.
The story about Sion Probert is priceless!
Celebrity get me out of here to a stage production 😂 I wish I could tell stories like this gentleman
Kenneth's hair looks super stylish. Rob - what's your favourite Brannagh performance? 🎭
Tony Hopkins !! Love it
Nice to see the telefunken U47 on Mr Brydons desk, and doesn't it make the difference? .. .. ..
Love Welsh accent
It’s wonderful. So sing-song. Now the Welsh language...😳 Sounds like an orc language.
@@mitzloo1933 Sounds beautiful when spoken fluently, The greatest linguist of the 20th century loved it, so....
@@taffyducks544 We’ll just have to agree to disagree lol but maybe likening it to an Orc language was a bit too strong 😆
Very irish saying..surprised the bejaysus out of them well said sir Ken ..
Watch their eyes, there are so many stories there.
See, not even Sir Kenneth Branagh attaches his Ikea furniture to the wall. We're fine
Think he was in someone else’s office!
' Educate our viewer' 😂😂
I hope I look as good as Kenneth at 60
henry v was immense.
Omw! Acting God. Ahem i have such a crush! Beautiful soul.
