The Ambassador can go from Diabolically Direct to Deliciously Detente in a matter of seconds.....even quicker if he didn't use all those fancy words! 🤣 I have to be honest with The West Wing Warriors on this channel. I can remember the very first time I heard and saw His Lordship. Hated him right away. Then I listened to his distinguished diatribe and found him to be surprisingly brilliant as he entertained those around him with verbal wit. And now whenever I draw the short straw to be in the company of a know it all dingus...I smile and think of John and how he would love to be there with me Toasting Mimosas!😊 MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio All 👋
When Lord John is listing his resume he should also list that he's the Sheriff of Nottingham, I mean he did appear in Robin Hood: Men in Tights in that job.
I like to imagine a backstory where a young Marbury knew a strong advisor or secretary to the PM who was never afraid to speak truth to power. That secretary was named Gerald, so when Marbury confers the name on someone else, it means he respects them and is paying a compliment.
And since you could see him from the COS entrance door it meant he was right outside the Oval Office center door which is NEVER without either a secret service agent or a full dressed Marine standing on that side of.
Interesting that decades later we still have the exact same problem. And trump's move didn't help build peace but just the opposite. If we were doing regular inspections, then at least we would be talking on a regular basis and things would be a lot more peaceful than they are now. Way to go trump you fool.
Blimey, I understand your point, what with him rebranding from William the Bastard. You appear to have tripped the wire of a few very polite but quite pedantic people. What many do not understand about that part of history and why your point it matters is that he was born French. We English love to half pretend to dislike the French and the feeling is mutual ;-)
How the show writers can twist facts to promote their agenda is amazing. It was an Iranian jetliner that was shot down by the US Navy, due to mistaken identity.
Oh, don’t worry there are plenty of times the Islamic regime attacked the US one way or another. Either way- how odd of any person to defend one of the most brutal regimes on earth today.
@@ExplorationGamingESO Qumar is fictional Iran is not. India invading Pakistan is something that never happened in history. Pakistan invading India has happened in 1947, 1965, 1971. Using footage from the 1999 conflict when Pakistan invaded India to reinforce a narrative is pure bias. I was referring to the Anti-India pro-Israel bias of the show creators reflecting in tie story line. Can’t make false fiction using real names. That’s defamation.
@@BangaloreAviation No President ever hid his MS during an election. no press secrertary was ever promoted to Chief of staff, no WH Comunications director ever leaked classified info about a secret military shuttle to save astronauts stranded at the space station, no President ever invoked the 25th amendment on his own to put the Speaker of the House in charge and no President and his deputy were ever shot because white supremacists were trying to kill his daughters black boyfriend. Its a fictional TV show. Go outside and touch some grass.
Demoted on account of a heart attack? That's cutthroat, even for American politics! 🤣
No different to Toby saying “it’s going to make it sound like he got a good nights sleep”.
As much as I love Lord John when he's funny, I love him more when he gets fierce. Roger Rees is captivating, even in the presence of Martin Sheen.
To steal the scene in a room with Sheen/Bartlett is no small feat.

What a great character, brilliantly played. That switch at the end gives me goosebumps!
When Lord John is listing his resume he should also list that he's the Sheriff of Nottingham, I mean he did appear in Robin Hood: Men in Tights in that job.
I totally forgot that!
He was the Sherriff of Rottingham :)
@Slvrdrgn77d Oops, completely different place.
@ Alan Rickman was the Sheriff of Nottingham 🙌🙌
Add that he was owner(or manager?) of a bar in Boston. Cheers!

Or he had a slightly dotty poddle called Gerald.
“It’s a pleasure”….”Yes, isn’t it.” 👀
Loved that character! He did great with the scripts!
rest in peace, Roger Rees.
I did not know he had passed away. Loved him in this role. Rest in Peace sir.
"Blanket my loins, I'm tied to the stake..."
I really cannot hear Martin Sheen without hearing The Illusive Man.
Love how John automatically turns on the charm the second he notice how hot Kate is.
From the bio, Roger was no stranger to Mimosas for breakfast, in the 1980s.
I love that the prime minister is Maureen.
The UK ambassador walking around the West Wing shouting a name and no one bothers to get involved?
Its almost comical.
And since you could see him from the COS entrance door it meant he was right outside the Oval Office center door which is NEVER without either a secret service agent or a full dressed Marine standing on that side of.
No it sounds like the last 4 years we endured under Sleepy Joe
@@genegottloeb7281 Now I'm envisioning creepy joe walking around looking for little girls to sniff.
I guess this makes CJ the new butler.
RIP Roger Rees
John Spencer etc
I just noticed, she called him Lord Barbury rather than Lord Marbury
He's really Lord Needham, but they never got that right.

William the Conquorer was a Norman, not an Englishman :)
...your point is what, exactly? You can compare two ppl without both of them being from the same place...
And early US presidents tried to emulate French politicians during debates, what's your point Chris? 😅
Not to mention old Will was a Viking descendent: I think the President made a pretty good analogy.

You could tell it was the post Sorkin era since the Visigoths werent mentioned.

Not in the show

It's fiction, Einstein
