Anybody see QI over Xmas? Brian Blessed on as a guest panelist. Tells of his trip to Mongolia. He's in his 70's, goes yompping up and down mountains all the time, but this time he shares his tent and trip up the local peaks with a bloody great wolf!!! Don't know who would have the more fur out of the two!

One day they're going to make a movie about this guy's life.
Did you ever see the interview with him dressed up like Captain Hook for a Peter Pan play he was in? Good Stuff.

GORDON'S ALIVE!!!

Rumour has it that Blessed was in line for hosting the Crystal Maze when it first got shown, but it fell through and the rest is history. O'Brian was king, but Blessed...nirvana!

I must see this!!!

BRIAN!

Love the Blessed. I will have to chase down the Christmas QI

If the world needs anything in 2012 it's a blessed alarm clock.

Couldn't agree more. He definitely deserves it. The QI episode was vintage Blessed, incidentally.

Studying history at York I have observed that, Mr Blessed has an honorary position as official Shoutsperson of the University of York's Douglas Adams Society. More importantly this year a new quiet study centre has been built on the other side of campus. A poll was run to determine in who's honour the centre would be named. As a result of a combined student Joke, the new study space is named the 'Brian Blessed Centre for Quiet Study'.

He really should be knighted.

We should organise Dakka to spam 'Call me Dave' into getting him on the Knighthood list.

Well, the previous Labour administration had 13 years.... etc, etc.

That wasn't labour...

And I sent Blair witch an email demanding BB get a knighthood, several years ago!

If only there were some method by which we could make the government aware of our predicament.

You know, my nanna Maureen says the exact same thing. Staunch Labour voter that she is, she cant bring herself to admit that the labour party couldn't run a bath so she says that the labour party that ran the UK for 13 years were actually the conservative party in disguise.

But she is very very old, and as such her ridiculous statement can be put down to senility or the misty veil of time shrouding her logic...

I agree the misty veil of time may be shrouding her logic, after all she can see what most Labour supporters cannot, yet still supports them.


Oh, and Matty, to answer your previous question; a wolf has more hair but its damn close. BB must have quite a pelt..
