How great that Monkman and Bobby Seagull have a six-part series on the BBC, travelling Britain. They are such fine young men, and have no pompous, self important attitudes. Monkman is like a big, amiable teddy bear - I want to hug him ! ☺☺☺
I'm sorry but I can't help thinking of the predator alien when i see this guy..like he's gunna suddenly jump up onto the desk and snarl at everyone..gives me the willies
Monkman is something else. I enjoy watching him with Seagull in their documentary shows together. Myself, I usually get about 18 of the questions right on the University Challenge quiz show. Of course, responses do have to be quicker than the team members' are, or at the least, synchronous with them Otherwise you are just parroting an answer you just heard, and that is true, even if hou knew it. Another thing... Actually hearing the questions has become a problem just recently. The sound on this particular show seems just a bit muffled to me. Each edition of the show is the same in this regard, as if there is a problem in the set-up of the sound channel within the studio, as if it is being recorded at a lower bit-rate, or something. This is noticable across both TVs we have, and does not occur with any other TV shows that I can recall. Anybody else noticed this? (The sound of the clips above seems fine, BTW, even when casting from a 'phone through the same TVs in question.)
0:35 --- Mussorgsky. "Trepak" from the song cycle "Songs and Dances of Death" --1875. I don't recognize the singer in the [UC] program. I'd recommend two recordings: *1)* Galina Vishnevskaya (soprano) in 1963, with Gorki State Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich. *2)* Boris Christoff (bass) in 1957, with Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française conducted by Georges Tzipine. --To me, these two singers, especially Christoff, are the ultimate interpreters of Mussorgsky's entire catalogue of songs.
The man, the monk, the legend.
7 years on and STILL a legend...
I want to see him play Sherlock Holmes in an adaptation where he constantly yells out random wrong answers.
It'd definitely be more fun than the Benedict Cumberbatch version
With Paxman as Watson
Sherlock comes across as the genius when in reality it's Watson, who quietly works it out and pieces it all together
@@potatowaffles55 You've never read the books have you?
0:26 he looks like Matt Damon's nerdy younger bro
Talented Mr Ripley
Actually uncanny
"Good Monkman Hunting"
As a fellow Canadian, I couldn't be more proud. Lol 🇨🇦
Totally. Also nice WCW/NWA belt Kenneth! Te big gold belt has always been one of my favorites! I only own the old WCW United States title!
Thank you for the compliment. There's something about the old props and trophies that bring back nostalgia to the glory days.
Perfect delivery of, 'He who lives by the sword, shall perish by the sword'. He lives it!
You are a service to humanity.
Superman, Spiderman, Batman and all the rest pale into insignificance when placed alongside the wonder that is Monkman.
Sage of Shadow totally

What is the piece of music?
0:35 --- Mussorgsky. "Trepak" from the song cycle "Songs and Dances of Death" --1875.

H reminds me of Beavis
Really, the poor kid, nearly a quarter of a million views of this hatchet job....
I don't think this is a hatchet job. It's a funny tribute to a clever guy.
Everyone might think he is the archetypal nerd but look at that rugged jawline! He is no chinless goon; he is Monkman!
More
jibooty
Haha who is this kid? He looks like his name should be Skippy. Never heard of this show in my life, but im all about it now.
It's only been going since The 1960's to be fair:)
