Brian Blessed OBE is a national treasure, actor, presenter, writer and mountaineer. From Augustus to King Richard IV in the first series of Blackadder. Prince Vultan in Flash Gordon, he was Nass in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and the voice of Clayton in Disney's Tarzan.The voice of Brian cannot be unheard.. most notable in my youth was his "Gordon's Alive" in the movie Flash Gordon.
Not seen Tarzan since I was a kid, so Clayton just clicked in my brain lol
also lets not forget - he's a stage actor too, including a number of musicals like Metropolis and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang :)
@@samhilton4173 In addition to voicing Clayton in Disney's Tarzan, he also did the iconic Tarzan Yell used in the film. Tarzan's voice actor couldn't pull it off and the sound guys at the recording studio mentioned this to Brian, and he sort of put his hand up and said "I can give it a go if you want"... And he killed it :D
My favorite role he played was Augustus in "I, Claudius."
I remember him best doing panto in my hometown.
Brian Blessed has literally been classified as superhuman by some Scandinavian research center on ageing.He was benching over 400 pounds in his 70s.He climbed Everest in his 60s or 70s.
The Man is a force of nature.
And he played the king of the hawk men in flash Gordon and Boss Nass in Star Wars.
He's a renaissance Man in the truest sense.
Brian Blessed has *every* background.
On a side note, his appearance presenting Have I Got News For You is legendary.
Lol, totally on his HIGNFY presenting - also a favourite of mine is when Tom Baker hosted - utterly hilarious and disturbing in equal measure 🤣🤣
BRIAN BLESSED is so well known for his blustery and bombastic delivery that throughout the TV Tropes website every mention of his name in any article is always capitalized as if yelling.
Brian Blessed has done everything. North pole, south pole, Everest and boxed with the dalai lama.. Legend
Brian was epic in the 1st series of Blackadder. That's how I found out about his voice..
Don't forget he punched a polar bear!
He was a great guest on the Yogpod lol
Not to mention he voices a character in Peppa pig.
@@samhilton4173 how do you like your eggs Brian? SCRAMMMMBLEEEEED
The answer to every single question you asked about Brian Blessed is yes... he's done pretty much everything at one point or another!
Ref the World Eskimo Indian Olympics. This began in Fairbanks, Alaska. The games were staged there for four and a half decades until they moved to Anchorage in 2007. This was the only event held at another venue. Fairbanks the permanent home of the games. Linking them to Alaska is therefore correct, even if participants also come from other communities.
One thing I always love about this episode, apart from every second of it, is when Ross Nobles answers to the question "what's a prawn ring?" and he says "it's a ring of prawns" and then a woman howls with laughter in the audience. and then Ross is like "wtf? i'm just answering a simple question"
Inuendo and Praws are a middle class dinner party starter delicacy
I love his stock reply ‘I paid for two, there should be one more over there’ lol
Sometimes it feels like everything in these panel shows is scripted, it’s nice to see a bit that was almost definitely off-the-cuff
@@benwinter5295 he wasn't the first to say that" i paid for two". I just can't remember. It could have been Eric Morcombe or Ken Dodd
@@chrisspere4836 Yeah he probably watched it as a youngster and it's stuck in his head lol, roughly half of my daily vocabulary is lines from comedy from my teens 😆
Read about him nearing the summit of Everest which he surely would have conquered but he assisted an injured climber down to safety rather than complete the ascent. What a legend! Oh and he was friends with Patrick Stewart as they grew up in the same place. The two of them having the greatest of voices.
GORDON’S ALIVE!!!
Brian Blessed isn’t just a national treasure, he is THE national treasure.
Blessed has done everything pretty much; gone to the North pole, South pole, climbed Everest, boxed with the Dalai Lama, owns hundreds of animals, done musical theatre, hollywood movies, tv, voice acting, presenting...
And yes - he's most certainly a character!
Brian Blessed first appeared in Z cars ( TV Police drama ) during the late 60's ...
He's the leader of the Bird men in the film Flash Gordon ....
He hosted ' have I got news for you ' ( TV satire show )
There is a combination of Brian being hilarious hosting have I got news for you , it's brilliant ...
Showing your age there Jessy, I loved watching Z Cars, in black and white and a fuzzy rolling picture to boot. 🙂
A great showcase for the force of nature that is Brian Blessed is the time he chaired an episode of Have I Got News For You.
GORDON'S ALIVE!!!

When Stephen asked how to pronounce the name of that Icelandic volcano, I would have held up the “?” nobody-knows paddle.
For anyone not from the UK and is confused by the prawn ring bit: Iceland is not just the country but the name of a British frozen food supermarket (Think IKEA but with freezers). One of the things Iceland sells are their frozen prawn ring
Brian Blessed! A whirlwind of a legend!
Brian Blessed is a gift from Heaven.
Brian has been in just about everything films , tv and stage for decades including thegreat BBC adaption of I Claudius , he was a legendary emperor Augustus . He has climbed Everest and is a genuine British eccentric . His legendary booking voice is unmistakable . It's always a great to see him lol up on a panel show .
Brian Blessed performed as Luciano Pavarotti on the Celebrities edition of the UK show "Stars in their Eyes."
He was also in musicals, including being Old Deuteronomy and Bustopher Jones in the original production of Cats.
I suppose the igloo thing was about the fact that "iglu" simply means house in Inuit, and most of their typical "iglus", ie general dwellings are indeed made with reindeer/caribou hides over a frame of some sort.
It means a snow house in the rest of the world though.
Brian blessed is just someone everyone knows about. Even kids but they might not know it. He plays Grampy rabbit in Peppa pig 🤣
Brian is also a classical singer and originated the role of duetaronamy in Cats the musical
National Treasure. Like Stephen Fry, Brian Blessed is one of our special people. He is an actor, adventurer, presenter... all rounder! And pretty fabulous!
It’s probs been recommended to you before but it’s worth exploring (for your own entertainment) the radio show The Museum of Curiosity. It’s hosted by John Lloyd the creator of QI, each season he’s joined by a different comedian as a cohost. And the guest format is that of another comedian/well known individual and two experts in particular field of study. Each guest talks about a particular subject of interest which is donated to the fictional museum in the title of the show.
Brian Blessed was in the first episode where he talked more about the Yeti and Sean Lock was the comedic co host for the first season.
Brian Blessed is an enigma. He seems mad as a box of frogs, but he is incredibly intelligent. He has done so many incredible things, performance, travel, I don't know how to explain him, he is just amazing in all kinds of ways.
Brian Blessed is a legend - very big personality, and voice.
At least a couple of the tribes you mentioned are indeed found in Alaska - I knew the tlingit were, and Google tells me there are 14,000 tlingit in Alaska and only 2,000 in Canada. The haida are also found in both countries. And that was as many as I remembered and Googled without going back and relistening to your list and systematically checking, but I wouldn't be surprised if it generally turns out that the other tribes you mentioned are found in both countries.
On the BBC iPlayer (which has every episode of the non XL shows to watch) this one is listed as number 15 (although the list of Qi episodes on Wikipedia list it as number 16)
Brian also has many animals on his large estate . He is a good actor and loves a challenge .
I don't remember this episode very well, only vaguely. I can't believe I don't remember Ross' Icelandic impression. It is outrageously funny to me.
There's a QI episode in which Brian belts out a couple of lines from Nessun Dorma, absolutely pitch perfect.
Brian Blessed is primarily an actor. In the 60's he starred in a very popular TV series called Z Cars. In the 80's he was in the film Flash Gordon (if you know the Queen song Flash he announces "Gordon's Alive") and the very first Black Adder series. In later years he has turned to exploring having attempted Everest a couple of times as well as the North and South Poles. The guy is a living legend. I can only assume he has turned down a knighthood because he should be a Sir.
Crazy that Brian is 75 when this was recorded
I love Brian Blessed!
QI episodes to react to: Series J, Episode 5, “J Places”, Series P, Episode 5, “Public and Private”, Series Q, Episode 8, “Q Animals”, Series Q, Episode 14, “Queens”, and Series Q, Episode 7, “Quests: Part II”
What is Brian blessed?
The answer is just yes.
Brian blessed is a legend who's lived his life to it's fullest.
When one says live your life to the fullest, brain blessed should be the example to go along with that quote.
Brian's a national treasure. He's lived such a fascinating life, he owns hundreds of animals, he's climbed Everest, had a boxing match with the Dalai Lama, been in films, pantomime shows, appeared in many shows.
He's a legend.
Also the Iceland prawn thing is based on Iceland the frozen food store, they often sell a prawn ring around Christmas, a small plastic crate with prawns as a sharing platter type food.
The idea that an Igloo is made of hide is just silly.
They said Iceland has the most Nobel Prize winners PER CAPITA, which means relative population is taken into account.
my favourite Brian Blessed story is that he met Picasso when he was twelve and dared him to draw something. Picasso drew a dove and handed it to him, the young Brian said "That's rubbish" (like all 12 year olds) and gave it him back. The picture is now worth £57M.
And who owns it? Did Blessed take it back?
@@chrisspere4836 He did not and IIRC it's in a museum somewhere. Also Brian's dad was apparently furious when he found out about it.
I used to help at a film festival in London, generally being the host for Q&As with guests. I was also known for having rather a loud voice. One year Brian Blessed was going to be a guest and, obviously, I was desperate to host his Q&A, but unfortunately I had to fly over to California halfway through the festival and wasn't going to be there for Brian's event.
The general consensus was that we could still do the event. With me in LA and Brian in London everyone would still be able to hear us....
Brian really became BRIAN around 1980, with Flash Gordon. It's interesting to look at his acting work before that. I first remember seeing him as Augustus in 'I,Claudius', and he of course became famous for 'Z Cars' in the 60s. When a good director can reel him in he is a very fine and nuanced actor. Generally though we just love it when he's BRIAN!!!
Brian Blessed, first known to me as PC 'Fancy' Smith in Z-Cars on tv in the '60s
Over the years QI has asked "How many moons does the Earth have?" at least two or three times and the answer has changed between episodes..
I suspect the 1845 sledload of button polish, handkerchiefs, curtain rods and a writing desk were supposed to be trading goods when they arrived at their destination. I'm not sure how they'd sell in Russia, China and Japan, but these items sound like they were in demand on the west coast of Canada and the USA, which were still in their Frontier stage of Western colonialism, and the people there would probably appreciate those touches of civilisation that were in short supply. I"m quietly confident in my assessment, only because I've been told on QI that curtain *rings* were a very popular trade item in the USA in the 19th C.
We have a topical news panel show called Have I Got News For You and Brian hosted it about 10/15 years ago. If you can find it you have to see it, it’s hysterical!!
Geographically, there are 3 Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, and Norway). Culturally, there are 6 Scandinavian countries Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland and The Faroe Islands.
There was a UK show where people impersonated famous singers, full wardrobe, hair, makeup the lot.
Brian went on as Pavarotti and stormed away with it. It's on YT.
Oh man, the Franklin expedition. Check out The Terror season 1. It's a self-contained, 10 episode fictionalized account of the expedition based on a novel by Dan Simmons. I think you'd love it. Stars Jared Harris (Legasov in Chernobyl), Ciarin Hinds, Ian Hart, Tobias Menzies. It's so well done. Great fit for this channel too nudge nudge ;)
Also just wanna say Neil you're one of my favorite reactors. I've been watching since maybe the middle of your Lost journey (which was awesome to share!) and subscribed for a while. Thanks for all the quality content, really appreciate it. ❤️
Thank you so much! I appreciate you too. I'll take a look at The Terror for sure.
Even if derogatory names for people, such as eskimo, fall out of favour, it's often not something people become aware of unless living close enough. QI has referred to the aria in Northern Scandinavia's region where the Sámi live as Lapland, which is considered a derogative term by them (and it is). They call it Sápmi, yet even some Scandinavians haven't become aware of the change and call it what they learned in school (or they purposefully disrespect the request).
Inhales his own farts and sighs
Have you not seen Flash Gordon? Brian Blessed played a significant role in that. Perhaps an idea for a reaction.
He was also in I, Claudius (a much more serious role), a classic/epic 70s TV series you might want to delve into at some point.
And he was possibly the best thing in the 1st series of Blackadder, which you must see at some point.
Flash Gordon was exactly what I was thinking about when I heard Brian Blessed! Flash Gordon is also an excellent reaction suggestion.
Brian Blessed is a Brian Blessed. He's in a Venn Diagram with a set size of 1 that sits tangential to the set of all other people.
I think there was a QI question about Eskimo / Inuit question, and I think they said that Inuit is the name for one specific geographical location only.
Brian blessed my beloved
Brian Blessed probably the only person who can say that they have punched a Polar Bear and the Dalai Lama
By his account of the match, he did not actually punch the Dalai Lama, they got in the ring for a bit (the Lama apparently owned Joe Louis's gloves) and Brian let himself go down.
You should watch the old “have I got News for You” he hosted! It is hilarious! David Mitchell and Richard Ayoade are my favorite hosts of HIGNFY but Brian Blessed and William Shatner are the funniest hosts! Oh yeah and Boris Johnson 😂
if I don't clap in time at the start, I always sing "neil talks, neil talks!"
Flash Gordon, HES ALIVE !
Started acting on Z cars tv. Series in black and white tv.
Been to Everest mountain nearly got to the top but turned back to save a dying Sherpa.
Been to Russian Space city went through the training and smashed it breaking records of endurance amazing the Russian Space scientists. Was the winged actor in Flash Gordon.
Got his autobiography somwhere amazing life look for his interviews where the guy just sat and let Brian talk and talk.
Blessed started out in a very old police show called Z cars called Fancy Smith, he has done so much its ridiculous. He is quit fantastic as a guest host on Have I Got News For You (truly loses it) 🤣 But yep this guy IS a legend... Thanks for this one 🥰 🇬🇧
I know that visually it is unappealing, but I think you would LOVE reacting to David Mitchell's Radio 4 show, the unbelievable truth. They frequently take jabs at QIs inaccuracies and vice versa.
I can't believe Brian didn't tell the Polar Bear story
Or the poop on someone's shoulder in the tent🤣🤣
If you've seen the film Flash Gordon you'll recognise him
A must watch if you havent "Have i got news for you" with Brian blessed
I hope you have part 2 of Quests on your list. It was on tv here last night & reminded me
My theory is that snow/ice igloos didn’t exist to start with, and perhaps explorers saw the hide/pelt huts covered in snow and decided they were made of snow.
You should watch Brian dubbing over the snooker lol
You need to watch episode 7 of series K, will help with your thoughts on how knowledge changes over time
maybe it's just a technical thing on my end. but your videos' trend is to differ in audibility. while the videos you are reaction to get quieter, your audio gets louder from vid to vid. i'd like to hear what the good people of QI have to say, but if i turn the volume up, it's like you, Neil, sitting on my shoulder whilst shouting in my ears. Does anyone else have this kind of trauma inducing experience?
other than that i like your commentary, it's so scientifically founded or just black and white general knowledge and not exaggeratingly over the top, i love it. i must have watched hundreds of hours of your vids for years.
'From Iceland to Alaska' if I remember correctly, Canada is inbetween Iceland and Canada so wouldn't 'From Iceland to Alaska' in relation to countries compete in these games would include Canada also ?
FRESH HORSES! :)
If you look up Richard Herring's Lester Square Theatre Podcast on UA-cam, there is an edition with Brian Blessed - it is a fascinating interview that's a bit over an hour long. Recommend.
Again, you smashed it!your knowledge is beyond the show!👊👏👏💜I think this May have been filmed before Inuit was the favoured term over here, you've got to remember, we're miles behind 🤦🏻♂️😂
Yeh that's the legend that is Brian,actor, presenter and mountaineer, even in his old age👏💜
You might be miles behind but your all the better for it. 🙂
What is Brian Blessed? Yes. All of the above. Sean and Ross I feel have a now sadly largely unexplored synergy. They really do seem to bounce off of each other very well.
You need to watch the episode of Infinite Monkey Cage with Brian. Amazing
I've seen a dude bungee jump, with 2 bungee cords attached by two interwoven phone books. Amazing shit
For one view of Brian Blessed, type in "Armoured Ultimatum" from Kenneth Branaghs' version of Henry V.
Please watch: Brian Blessed hosts Have I got news for you
"Have I got news for you" is our longest running comedy panel show, it's been going since 1990 and has over 60 series. It was originally hosted permanently by Angus Deayton until he was caught in a scandal involving cocaine and a prostitute. He did continue the show as the scandal broke which is also a must watch!!
* HIGNFY - Angus Deayton scandal
* HIGNFY - Hosted by Brian Blessed
* HIGNFY - Hosted by Boris Johnson
* HIGNFY - Hosted by Bruce Forsyth
* HIGNFY - Hosted by Tom Baker
Some doctors tested Blessed and found that his lung capacity is like 25% bigger than the average human's.
Can someone explain each of the Scarves Worn - Fry presumably his undergrad college one, Sean is Burberry ?
You have to watch when Brian Blessed was host on have I got news for you
Can I recommend Episode 'Restaurants,' episode 4 of the R series. Sara Pascoe is great in this one!
Since you're a star wars fan, I hope you recognize Brian Blessed voicing Boss Nass, the gungan leader, you know in that film that revolutionized movie history.
Just incase you don't know Neil, the new series of Taskmaster starts next Thursday
"Your bells are numbered" sounds like something you'd say to someone who's under the threat of imminent castration.
I think that mainly BB is a theatre actor but he has done so much else that he forgot to any theatre acting for most of his career.
Not that it matters but, it's officially episode 15.
were some broadcast out of order ?
@@highpath4776 possibly, I'm going off BBC iPlayer and Google's episode guide seems to agree with it too. It's entirely possible that they may have been aired in a different order originally, it wouldn't be that unusual.
Are you gonna react to Taskmaster Series 14 when it comes out, I love ur reactions to the chaos
Stephen was waaay off with the pronunciation of the volcano. Alan was much closer.
Though he was right about igloo. Among inuits it means any sort of house, not just a snowhouse.
Also, eskimo is perfectly fine. Much like the indian/native american malarkey, this eskimo or inuit "problem" is something made up by outsiders. Some call themselves inuits, some call themselves eskimos. And remember that not all eskimos are inuits, so whichever word you use, you risk offending someone.
In New Zealand we have a candy that used to be called Eskimos, a complaint was made about the name in 2009, they finally renamed them Explorers last year. I won tickets to a Edmonton vs Saskatchewan game when I lived over there in 2014/15 and had no clue what was happening the entire game.
Hardest job in the world - sound engineer on any show that Brian Blessed appears on.
as much as I enjoy QI, I always take everything they say with a grain of salt and treat it as entertainment rather than fact. There was one time they took quotes from a french classic novel and treated that as a source when the novel was actually fictional... And as a student doing my Phd in China, I can tell you they've hardly gotten anything right about any of their China related subjects... One particular gripe I had was about their characterization of the Chinese reforestation projects, basically saying that since a lot of the forests are monocultures, they'll all die and basically be a waste of time. I have a particular issue with this because I'm doing my phd in environmental science... This is a complete misunderstanding of the situation, since the goal is to first stop desertification by locking down the sand, then plant drought resistant drought resistant shrubs and grass, then plant drought resistant monocultures to establish a soil base, and then introduce more diverse flora. You can't just take a barren desert and instantly transform it into a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. The Chinese are actually at the forefront of reforestation technology and techniques, and a lot of these techniques are being copied and brought to places like Israel and other dry areas all across Africa.
Brian has apparently climbed Everest reaching 8600 meters. He has attempted this apparently 3 times. He is I understand the oldest (68). To reach 8600 meters without oxygen.
Sadly, Stephen has taken a stance against "political correctness", stating that it is not effective. Hence not second guessing use of term "Eskimo".
Naaaah, Scandinavia is a mountain range, so Iceland isn't part of that, but it is part of the Nordic Countries which is an alliance between Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
" Gordon's Alive " ? ........." FLASH Ah ha master of the universe ".......
I had a friend who said you shouldn't call people Eskimos. I can't remember what the correct term was but Inuit.
Its inuit , innit ?
Well if they call it the 'World Eskimo Indian Olympics' I'm sure they dont mind the term eskimo
Eskimos have no problem with people calling them Eskimos, it's other people who decided the word was offensive and started referring to them as Inuits instead.
i don't know whats funnier, your joke or the earnest replies! some people take any opportunity to make their little political point lol, so excited to opine they didn't notice the punchline.
@@raindog3075I'm one of the people who replied and I've got to admit I totally missed the joke until you pointed it out, but now I've seen it I feel like a proper numpty 😂
I'm in the minority of people that find Brian Blessed to be incredibly obnoxious.
a miss nome a?
Can’t stand bloody Blessed.
45 minutes of Brian blessed. see-> HIGNFY - Brian Blessed (Full Show, Extended)
Brian Blessed played Prince Vultan in the movie Flash Gordon.
