Summary

RHLSTP #175: BRIAN BLESSED!!!! What Was The Question? It's finally come to pass. The podcasts can end now, because the whole point of starting them up has been achieved. Richard's guest is a man who has played all theatrical parts, but most notably the part of Brian Blessed. I couldn't even begin to describe what happened on this extraordinary night, except to say it is was a bona fide happening. Try and predict how many words Richard will say in this. It's a free form and extraordinary, yet sometimes beautiful and inspiring, journey through the career, philosophy and madness of a man who might be the greatest living Englishmen. How much of it is true? I can't tell you. But at least some of it. Includes sticking it to Picasso, toileting on a mountain, biting umbilical cords, working with the young Peter O'Toole and Patrick Stewart, never dying and probably some other stuff. I can't tell you. I had a little nap through most of it. Worth watching the video version to see my torture on what was one of the best experiences of my life. This podcast is absolutely unbeatable. Brian's book 'The Panther In My Kitchen: My Wild Life With Animals' is available now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/150984158X/comedyguide-21/

2:04.0	very complimentary. There's just something in it. There's just something in the cheeky look he
2:08.4	gives when he's about to bum a woman. It reminds me of, anyway, he calls it, but let's do that.
