Trouble is as I talk a lot I doubt he would get a word in edgeways !  I think Brian isn't the sort of shy retiring type that struggles to get a word in:hihi:  I'd bet he's a laugh to be around though I suspect it'd all be too much for the likes of AlexAtkin.

Jessoo   11 #38 Posted December 16, 2015 Oooh I've always liked Brian Blessed ever since he played Fancy Smith in Z Cars when I was a little girl.  He couldn't act then, can't act now. He's had more opportunity than most to sharpen up his act. To no avail. He can shout though. Enough said?  I used to see (rather hear) him and his lovely wife Hildergard Neil around Richmond.  Francy perfectly summed it up: ACTOR???

Manlinose   10 #39 Posted December 17, 2015 What a boring world it would be without the likes of Brian Blessed.  We need more variety on TV, stage and in life in general, not less.  I'd rather watch and listen to Brian than most of the interchangeable cloned presenters/actors/guests you see and hear these days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rachelk   10 #41 Posted December 18, 2015 I really dont like his booming voice why does he need to do it every time he opens his mouth. Never heard him speak normally in my life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
