'He certainly changed the landscape of Baghdad' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was so soft in how he said it too, just added to it even more.
Funny And sad at the same time 😂😥
😆😆😆😆
Brian, I love you, but still very sad, the loss of thousands of lives
"He had one put in?" slayed me :)
bridget christie is one of the greats
My wife passed away back in 2019..
Seeing this reminds me of her smile watching it...
Priceless...
Bless your heart....All the best to you from a stranger.
All the best, Jan :)
I'm so very sorry for your loss x
God bless you mate
Sorry about your loss
I've watched this video every day for a week and "pull your finger out Julian you lazy bastard" still kills me every time.
What I love is that he really REALLY means it! Look at his eyes!
It doesn't kill you. What a moronic thing to say.
Same 😂😂😂
Brian Blessed doesn't need a microphone - he's loud enough
they probably have to turn down everyone else's microphone each time he speaks !
Ha ha
Official Cewlgaming if he's given a microphone the world will explode.
Lol
True story - when they recorded this edition, he could be heard from the car park outside
1:48
"30 years? Without a job? Pull your finger out, Julian, you lazy bastard!!"
he had a job, and Thatcher dealt to that, and all the other options
@@paulcarpenter885 you need to listen as well as react, "he was 58 when he lost his factory job" and that was 30 years before Thatcher's death.
So he's not saying he was unemployed for 30 years, unless you expect people to work until their 90's?
Government's (especially Thatchers) and employers are famously NOT keen to retrain or even employ people in their 50's.
Large parts of the UK had unemployment rates over 20% in the early 1980's (higher for over 50's and under 25's) because industries were shut-down with no thought to how those jobs would be replaced - Thatcher simply didn't care.
We can't know if Julian was lazy, but your opinions certainly are.
@@JakobusVdL what? She should’ve kept subsiding it forever? It was going to occur.
No power for all is 100x more cruel.
@@JakobusVdL It never says "he was 58 when he lost his factory job". He was quite clearly 58 at the time of recording in 2013, so he would've probably been 29 in 1984. Regardless of your political leaning, unless you have a disability, not having held any sort of job for 30 years likely indicates some level of laziness.
What a character! A big hairy loud mad bastard, gotten love him!
Enough of Jeremy Corbyn. What did you think of Brian Blessed?
...from Yorkshire...
This man is an absolute legend and national treasure.
Make him prime minister, that's what I say
@@harrismiller1948 I'd watch the Coronavirus updates every night with him on. DEAAAAATTTHHH
@@sorrysirmygunisoneba worth every penny of the tv licence
Ian Hislop? DIVISIVE!
I remember overhearing part of this episode back in the day. It wasn't on TV in the next room or anything. Brian Blessed is just that loud that I could hear him reading the news all the way down here in Australia.
No, you couldn't. I know this because I am Australian too and I couldn't hear it.
@@looksirdroids9134 the joke went straight over your head
Ian Hislop's face when he laughs gives me life.
He's really cute 😊
@Autumn Chambers ???
A turd with eyes....
I would consider Brian threatening to punch my lights out as an enormous source of pride.
If only he did actually punch that adams chap
Brian says "WHO WANTS A FIGHT?"
LOL!
Why can't the BBC or some one, just give this guy what ever he wants, what ever he needs to get him to read the news? Ratings would go through the roof, people would be better informed, it's a win win really.
And I'm sure Brian Blessed could still land a formidable punch. He had the arms of a bodybuilder in those old films and just the power of his voice alone could knock you down a flight of stairs.
Punched a Polar Bear and made it run
@@johnwhittington2998 😅 😂 🤣
Big arms doesn't mean someone is good at punching.
@@looksirdroids9134 Okay, Cap. What was going through your head when you clicked REPLY and felt it was really important to make that point? Yeah, been feeling contrary myself of late 😉
he was a decent boxer in his youth
I wonder if Julian was watching this
lradford22 I hope so 😂😂
Prolly of his tits after 30 pints
Well he wouldn’t have been at work
@@napalmhotdog4365 and not just because he was in his 80s by then
Brian Blessed is f**kin awesome- mad as a box of frogs 🐸 but f**kin awesome. 😊
what ever this guy is on I want some
pure theater
Brian Blessed is on the drug known as "Brian Blessed".
He's on life
Crusader beat me to it ..... he’s on pure uncut life and by the gods has he lived.
"pull your finger out Julian!, you LAZY BASTARD!" XD cracked me up
15 seconds in and I'm already reminded why I love Brian's voice.
Brian Blessed should have been Gimli in Lord of the Rings.
That would have been INSANE. But John Rhys-Davies was awesome in the role, especially when you realize all the camera trickery to make him look dwarf size.
Brian Blessed is currently voicing a legendary dwarf called Gotrek in a Warhammer audiobook: Realmslayer Age of Sigmar!
@@oberon5657 Of course he is.
Or the Mouth of Sauron. Wouldn't need to rehearse that one.
He now voices the famous Dwarf 'Gotrek' from the Warhammer novels. Hes the perfect fit!
I met Mr Blessed in 1990. One enormously Blessed man. More to him than the noise.
I love that joke about Tony Blair not having a heart by that lady❤
Indeed, It was pretty funny. Who is she?
My favourite thing.
@@krtmddhs Bridget Christie
Brian is one of the greatest voices ever.
Brian Blessed. A hero to all nerds. The sort of person I expect used to play DnD as much as he played Rugby.
Brian Blessed can read anything and I'll happily listen!
Like you have a choice?
Brian Blessed, the ideal companion for a hiking trip through an avalanche zone.
After the avalanche, yes, but jokingly can he keep quiet enough to not trigger one?
(Yes I am sure he actually can as a skilled mountaineer , but.... he is adroitly able to be loud & projecting...)
I love the current ad campaign with Brian narrating and a soundtrack pastiche of Flash by Queen that's pretty subtle.
Shame this is missing Brian’s best line:
“This is the solum news that one of our greatest peacetime Prime Ministers has died. But don’t worry… *GORDON’S ALIVE!!!!* “
In this pandemic can always rely on Brian to cheer you up 😀😀
The fake plan..demic you mean
If he became leader of the planet, I'd follow him anywhere. Brilliant stuff
He sounds like a bit of an authoritarian - best not to follow them, it just encourages them.
@@JakobusVdL nah, just a man with a big voice. Lots of authoritarians whisper the orders in low voice in ears😂
Brian Blessed sounds like a wizard or a dwarf. His name should be Professor Griswold.
His name is gotrek son of gurni thank ypu very much
@@vivamexico254 Prince Vultan, actually! - ruclips.net/video/q5HfDIwNI8w/видео.html
CONGRATULAAAAAAATIONS
Probably the best HIGNFY instalment ever, but run very close by Bruce Forsyth.
They left out the bit where he says that yes, Thatcher's dead, but... "GORDON'S ALIVE!" (and they pan to a picture of Gordon Brown)
Brian is a legend
blessed 4 PM! let him loose in Brussels, brexit negotiator!
Don't hold back Brian!
This man is a character.
:-D
Arise Sir Brian Blessed! GET HIM A KNIGHTHOOD NOW! ;)
mark chapman Baron Blessed sounds better
Give him the crown
@@videogamenostalgia He had the Crown as King Henry in Blackadder.
He was King Richard.
Hes got an OBE
Im sure they could have found Brian a role on game of thrones.
He'd have been a perfect Robert Baratheon.
Paul Merton: is it a dolphin in a bathtub?
Drowning in a bathtub.
@@colinp2238 it's a reference to harry enfield to took the mick out of panel shows and one of them was have i got more news for you in which as a joke one of the repeated responses was "Is it a dolphin in a bathtub" here's a link for the sketch: ruclips.net/video/-2z-AdzgKjY/видео.html
@@Editorsmurfee8549 Okay I never watched Harry Enfiels after seeing one show and then I agreed with his father, so the reference passed me by. Sorry.
"Pull you finger out you lazy bastard", pretty sure most of the country cheered on hearing Brian say that.
Brian says " 'OO WANTS A FIGHT?!"
The moment he says that everyone goes running
He did the voice of Clayton on the Disney film Tarzan
Brian Blessed's dump scream would bounce off the moon and level Tokyo. god I love him xD
Brian Blessed offering Gerry Adama out was tv gold
Straight between your gizzard!
I want a Brian Blessed ringtone 😂😂😂
So what happens when you have to get a new phone after every time someone calls you?
He’s got a point, Julian needed to pull his finger out 😂😂
Get rid of the equality forms and the diversity quotas. Should be merit based only. Why do they need to know what sex I am when I apply for a job?
@@sarahn.9358 I mean bathroom attendants, Catholic priests etc. certain medical positions if dealing with a certain sex, that might be why
Brian Blessed, the only person to beat Chuck Norris in a fight, sorry chuck but Sir Brian would massacre you just with his voice!
Didn't you know? A long time ago Brian gave 1% of his voice to Chuck Norris's beard. Chuck owes him one!
He decked a polar bear...
0:47
PERFECT!
eddieoxford that was savage
Who is she?
zapfanzapfan Bridget Christie. Stand up comedian. She’s married to Stewart Lee, what a house that must be!
Love Brian Blessed and his books
The one and only Brian Blessed! Absolutely superb!!!!
Brian Blessed = LEGEND!
EDNA! FIGHT YOU WITH US ON THE MORROW?
Love Brian brillrant host should see more of him on HIGNFY. Gordon is ALIVE.
I cant see brian liking thatcher all that much, his father was a coal miner (even if he forbade him from following him into the shafts)
yeah, it's even weirder that thatcher was mentioned and we got roasts of
gerry adams
tony blair
some guy called julian
…but not milk snatcher?
@@soupalex I think that says a lot about his political leanings, regardless of his upbringing.
@@Yessir432 i imagine he pays higher rate tax, reckons he knows which side of his bread is buttered/"i'm alright, jack". then again, i could be reading too much into it… hignfy is a semi-scripted show, it's edited for broadcast, and this clip has been edited from that, so it's possible that brian had some strong words about thatcher that just "didn't make the cut" for whatever reason (possible too that he dislikes thatcher, but merely happened not to talk about it… as strange as it seems that brian blessed would keep _not_ speak his mind on a subject, and loudly)
what does that have to do with anything? he may have been thankful that he lost his job in the mines and was forced to get a more healthy one. improvise, adapt, overcome. blessed is obviously very resourceful and i have no doubt his father was too.
Brian blessed is always so much fun. Since black adder 1 we all love you. Long live Britain!
Hobbies include mountain climbing and shouting.
I got to see him do his one man show last year. He has not changed at all! XD
Omg me too! He was brilliant!
Oh my God this man is so loud and hilarious. Is he Robbie Coltrane's long lost brother?
Iv had the pleasure of meeting Mr blessed he's a wonderful person
Why hasn’t Brian Blessed been given more hosting on have I got news to you the man is a national treasure next series return of brian
Straight between ya gizzard!!!
Brian Blessed is a complete legend
Hearing this I want Brian Blessed as an MMA commentator
Brian Blessed , fighting round the world
A heart put in lol 😀
He’s really clever Brian blessed and he sounded like a pirate by the sound of his voice
1:04
Reporter: Now that Margaret Thatcher's passed on we're hoping for some kind words, can you say something good about your time spent as part of her cabinet?
Mad Lad Geoffrey: It was a long time ago.
Now that, my friends, is what is called wit!
Do not underestimate him as an actor either. He was great as a reforming vicar in an episode of Public Eye from 1973
He's quite good in those Shakespeare adaptations, too
@@eldorados_lost_searcherhe's VERY good as the Duke of Exeter in Henry V.
Quietly menacing on a diplomatic mission
Soo...... Who else thinks that Brian Blessed is really the Dovahkiin?
Fus Ro DaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHH🐉
The real life Greybeard.
i would pay money to hear brian say FUS RO DAH
Brian Blessed did the voice for Clayton from Disney's Tarzan.
and Boss Nass in Phantom Menace
He also did the Tarzan yell for the movie.
After the show, if memory serves...
Paul: "What are you like when you're drunk?"
I'd pay good money to see Brian v Gerry
Wouldn't be much of a fight, Gerry is a complete coward fruit
@@willgirvan2491 Even better.
Will Girvan Gerry would be hiding behind some kids as per usual
What I would give to see Brian Blessed chin Gerry Adams
Adams would knock the living shit out of him 😂😂🤣... 🤜💥
@@updrebles Pahaha, think I'd side with the man who fought a polar bear, dont think he'd be very scared of a little terrorist.
@@updrebles not a chance
@@updrebles not a fecking chance son. Brian Blessed chewed through a woman's umbilical cord, he's easily chew Gerry Adams' head off.
@@updrebles Imagine looking at this man and knowing his history thinking that traitorous fucking shite would have a chance
1:01 “It sounds like you’re drowning in the bath”
Gerry anytime
well to be fair to julian many of the places worse hit by thatcher's reforms still haven't recovered. I know where I live they haven't (reciently one shop opened with 4 positions available.... the cue for applications stretched the best part of a mile... and honestly I wish I was exaggerating but sadly i'm not) the mines were closed, there's only a hand full of factories, the next town over from where I live is practically a ghost town, what used to be a busy shopping centre now has a pub, 2 banks, and half a dozen shops, two of which have only been open for a couple of years.
in the last 10 years I've had a hand full of one off jobs lasting a week or less, one job lasting 6 months, and spent the rest of the time doing volunteer work while looking for jobs until I decided to start my own business as there are no other options in the area
crwydryny theres loads of jobs people are too lazy nowadays though
The OP's given you a fairly detailed reasoning as to the well-documented issues caused by Thatcher and your response is: "theres loads of jobs people are too lazy nowadays though", a pretty lazy response if you ask me
Secure, full time, well paid working class jobs are a thing of the past now. Its all part time in supermarkets and call centres
va0438 Yes, how dare the peasants demand fair pay, worker's rights and job security?
FFS 😂😂
@@test42356y You realise it costs money to move yes?
There are other places and other towns. People move every day. People stuff themselves in sweltering cargo haulers to sneak across borders and folk like Julian can't be bothered to look in the next county. Fuck him.
This Guy is just Epic and a class act
Loved him in Blackadder too.
TO THE BLACK DAGGER!!!
ENID!
THE BEST ON EARTH!!! (And soon space I hope) BRIAN is a proper legend, always love seeing him!!!
Best TV Program on the planet, on the best channel, with the best presenter, PERFECT!!!!
NEAL
never tell him a secret
if there was a living embodiment of England it would be brian blessed
When I die I want to come back as Brian Blessed!
Happy 85th birthday legend
After which Julian did just that. When Brian Blessed tells you to pull your finger out, it's seriously in your best interests to do so...
I'm watching this halfway through doing a pretty sore shite in the bathroom!
I love Brian Blessed 3
Full episodes for a Full Playlist would be nice....
BRIAN IS EVERYTHING A TRUE BRIT IS, GOD BLESS !
A true Brit and fat one can't grow a beard like Gerry come Armagh n run the Paddy's down u plank
Wonderful
Pow right in the gizzard
BB absolutely brilliant!
Brian Blessed absolute quality 😅
Brilliant
ironic calling tony blair heartless when they had maggy right there
All those bombs... 💥😂😂🤣
He goes from softly spoken to VERY LOUD.
He’s a legend !!
I literally don’t get this: it’s Brian Blessed reading a script word for word. He doesn’t even pretend it’s not completely scripted.
Brian Blessed vs Oliver Reed, who’d win?
National treasure
