Gyles has such command of the English language and such a wonderful sense of humor. All you need to do is say hello and he just goes.there is no stopping him.😊😊
Gyles is loved by so many. He's intelligent and yet funny, a pure joy to listen to
American here. This gentleman is fabulously entertaining. He was why I hit subscribe.
Gyles never fails to entertain and enlighten.
What a delightful man! Wish that we had more like him here across the pond!
being from the otherside of the pond i discovered gyles on just a minute and immediately so enjoyed his stories on the show.
From America. Never heard of this man. Really enjoyed listening to him.
He is one of our national treasures ... he is genuinely very knowledgeable, and he knows or has known some very famous people. In addition he has been on many quiz shows that require wit and intelligence.
More info: he collects Teddy bears and has donated them to a museum. One of his TV programmes (? BBC) a canal boat journey with actress Shiela Hancock ... well worth viewing and many BBC radio programmes.
watch QI
The podcast he does with the brilliant Susie Dent is called Something Rhymes With Purple. It is well worth a listen. Informative and very entertaining.
It is lovely to listen to such an erudite English gentleman - love him, he’s a complete show and humour to go with it! 😂🤣
I had to google that word, very apt..
You pretentious mess.
He is BRILLIANT!!! I just 💖 him.
Very interesting to hear Mr. Brandreth's comments on the public mourning for the Queen. Relieved to hear that it was so much more dignified than the irrational hysteria demonstrated when Diana died.
I just love him! I didn't know it was a one man show. 😂💓🇬🇧
Charming man. Great sense of humor.
Just a lovely listen!
Hilarious, dry humour. Very enjoyable.
love Giles
How the hell does one SHUT this man up? Thank God I never wanted to find out.... and never will.
People in the southern part of the USA, especially men of a certain age, once had a reputation for being great racontuers; of course, this was before tv, then facebook, youtube, twitter, tiktok, etc. came along, so that any fool with access to technology could have their own "platform," (back in my day, it was called a soapbox -less politically correcf, but far more aprospo), and we are innundated by booring people who find the sound of their own voice fascinating. And, even back then, just as there were people who could talk about paint drying and be entertaining, there were many who could make the apocolypse sound dull. So, to finally get to my point😉, Gyles Brandreth is a racontuer "of the first water," who is erudite and entertaining, not always a common combination.And how he uses his volubility to draw us in with being entertaining, and then, bam!, delivers a very insightful observation.
I gave up after 26 minutes when he still hadn't mentioned a bit about history.
❤🎉😊🎉❤ broke my humorous. The worst.
The english language is 82% copy&paste from latin...
The interviewer is such a needless toff.
Giles, the privileged one, thinks that the only mistake made by the Conservatives was to fail to establish a pathway.
No mention of an economical perspective that favours those who are already rich.
He may seem a lovely chap, but he's either naive or downright malevolent.
An establishment hack. Royalist worshiping ass licking muppet. Made his living being a crony of the establishment. Vomit inducing cretin.
He tells a lot of lovely lies unlike a certain other couple.
What lies? He is a raconteur who is very knowledgeable.
Maybe slightly exaggerated stories, but l believe he really has met many famous people, is related to quite a few, and has experienced many things including being an MP in the British Parliament. He is a raconteur, who knows how to make a boring story fun and interesting ... it is a gift.
'British Isles' ffs 🤮
Lol what's wrong with that

He is clever but tbh he’s not that funny.
He is very funny but very English funniness.
