It's why he's so far been the best actor to portray Lord Vetinari in a live action Discworld adaptation (Going Postal -- I thought Jeremy Irons hammed it too much in Colour of Magic).
Charles Dance has one of the best voices in the profession. With his brilliant acting chops and a menacing presence, he could have played so many roles had he been actually younger.
Rob was playing into it, too, but Charles certainly knew exactly how to adopt that "no, please; continue" look of a spider watching a fly trundle towards its web.
"You just sent the funniest comedian in the kingdom to bed without his supper." "You're a fool if you think he's the funniest comedian in the kingdom..."
2:54 I know of very few actors besides Charles Dance who could describe being a rowdy teenager and make it sound like something written by a statesman in 1635.
Fun fact: The father of Charles was born in 1874, fathering Charles at the proud age of 72 while his mother was 35 at the time. For reference, Charles is 67 years old in this video.
Charles himself has a daughter born in 2012. Meaning she is 138 years younger than her grandfather. If she lives to the year 2101 (so to age 88-89), she will be one of the few people alive in the 22nd century with a grandparent born in the 19th century.
but as we speak there’s a man,Harrison Ruffin Tyler still alive who’s grandfather John Tyler was born in 1790 and happened to be the US Xth president. Harrison’s father Lyon Gardiner Tyler was born in 1853, Harrison himself in 1928
Oh God yesss. He's still hot as hell. And in the Crown was even more handsome. That voice, the old school bad boy attitude.... I really don't care what other say, he's damn fine.
Charles Dance is quite an intimidating figure but very handsome (he looks younger than his years) and has a beautiful speaking voice - a genuine skilled performer.
well, nearly all of them would've been younger, when people did send letters. Like Charles himself. It isn't that long ago. Besides, I could imagine my ex' father doing it. He's kind of snobbish, to put it in writing would be the way to go for him. He wouldn't want to speak to me, is the point, because I'm a commoner. He doesn't have a smart phone and doesn't really use the internet, at least not to communicate in any significant way.
@@leonhardeuler675 I bet there must be an awkward amount of confusion pre (and probably post) pandemic when he picks his kid up at school...all the other parents who don’t know he’s her father must think that he’s her grandad (and I think he has other kids too, who are all grown)...
Well, it was the girlfriend's father he said was from the 30s. If he was born 1946 and his then girlfriend was similar then her father would have been more likely to have been young in the 30s. But if he was way off that would just make it worse, that Robert was looking for a date to say 'long long ago' and he actually didn't go back nearly far enough.
When I first moved to London in 2006, Charles Dance was the first celebrity I saw out and about in a Waitrose; I got so flustered, I hid by the bottled water section until he paid for his shopping and left 😆

I totally understand Robbert Baratheon now when he said: *"Surrounded by Lannisters, everytime I close my eyes, I see their blond hair and their smug satisfied faces"*
I've never heard of Charles Dance. Yes, I live under a rock. But anyway, he is absolutely gorgeous ! With his looks and that accent, I'll take him anytime.
@Paul the 1990 TV movie series of The Phantom of the Opera is the first role I ever saw him in. Instant fan right off the bat. This man's performance abilities are off the charts! You could cast him in legit anything & it would be award worthy.
I was half-expecting someone, possibly Richard, to say something like "What's that meme again... You know, the one about someone about to end someone's whole career?"
@@NaughtyFox1331 I'm at least aware enough of Richard Ayoade's particular enthusiasm for geek culture, which would mean he could feasibly be expected to know and understand certain memes enough to use them for comic effect, and indeed has built much of his professional career creating a deliberately memeable on-screen persona. Funnily enough, it's not just stroppy teenagers sulkily vandalising bus stops when they should be doing something productive with their time who have heard of memes, in the same way everybody over 30 isn't necessarily some fusty pipe smoking Daily Mail reader who still thinks they're living in the 1970s. I mean, some of us are, clearly...
Is there a voice as majestic as Charles'??

Channel 4 Keith David’s close behind. But idk if there’s as classy as Charles Dance’s
Anthony Hopkins?
Sam Elliott if you prefer things the other side of the Pond
@@terynmidzain7089 I was literally about to write Keith David. I guess I'll just have to go with Tony Todd so.
Jeremy Irons maybe?
I like Charles Dance. He always looks like a wolf or a sly fox to me, like there's something dangerous underneath.

Eh, he's more like a lion.
I want a man like him. I don’t care the age, they don’t make men like that anymore.

He's like a fine wine. Every year makes him even more enjoyable.
Well he's been acting since he was young too. Ive been looking into his work. X)
@Tom AcM Christopher Lee would think you a tool.
He was younger once.
@@tynebar He was an absolute dream in The Phantom Of The Opera. First performance of his I ever saw & I was hooked.
And for a breif moment Robert thought he heard the sound of a crossbow being loaded in the distance...

Bit of a charity heart, too, considering you of course don't _load_ a crossbow -- you *nock* it. 😁
He started listening The Rains of Castamere dimly
And so he spoke...and so he spoke
*brief
Everyone staying quiet watching Robert dig himself deeper and deeper hahahah
I think they knew that he dug his grave and should now lie in it.
Rob was playing into it, too, but Charles certainly knew exactly how to adopt that "no, please; continue" look of a spider watching a fly trundle towards its web.
Don’t see much of Rob today do we?
Quietly? Mickey Flanagan was gleefully pushing him in.
"The contestant is tired. See him to his chambers."

Look at them consider there that Charles Dance might be more terrifying than Mike Tyson
@Fififv Sjcidic yeah, i know he is xD But they were too busy thinking that Tyson was the scary one in that lineup to notice the threat closest to them
Charles Dance is scary because he doesn’t need ego, his presence is enough
Charles Dance is about as gangster as an actor can be. His ability to dominate a scene is unmatched.
Gangster indeed lol he could have been in the British version of goodfellas
My favourite actor, Charles Dance. Comes across as one tough, scary mofo but always seems to be smirking like he knows some hidden joke.
The joke would probably be the person speaking
Robert Webb is terrific. His friendship with David Mitchell is exemplary.
One of the duos that don't seem to have fallen out. Always good to see.
I need to use the word "exemplary" more often in life. Thank you.
ok charles calm down
@@snickle1980 his father must be from the 30s
lol didn't age well. Only 2 years ago, too. Strike.
A lion does not concern himself with the opinions of sheep
Robert suddenly hyper aware of how the deer felt
Charles seems like he's from a different dimension. I've never seen a man so intimidating in my life.
2:54 I know of very few actors besides Charles Dance who could describe being a rowdy teenager and make it sound like something written by a statesman in 1635.
The best thing is that Charles just looks at him and smiles when he guesses the age
Twas was a look that said "bastard. You're right. But I'm not letting you know that!"
Fun fact: The father of Charles was born in 1874, fathering Charles at the proud age of 72 while his mother was 35 at the time. For reference, Charles is 67 years old in this video.
WOW. 1874?
what the fuck

Charles Dance is so attractive
So damn much
I hear ya, girl. 😂👌It's the eyes, for me.
He’s a silver fox

Charles Dance is quite an intimidating figure but very handsome (he looks younger than his years) and has a beautiful speaking voice - a genuine skilled performer.
Something about him reminds me of Christopher Lee when he was older.🤔
You know that kind of laugh where you kinda stop breathing..."He got down really well there. Well done, Charles." got me.
Charles Dance makes everything classy and amazing
I can't believe they only made 1 series of this. It was bloody genius.
Charles Dance channeling his 'Last Action Hero' role and burning a hole through Robert Webb was a thing of beauty
The clue was that he received a letter. Nobody sends letters, anymore.
What about the tax office?
@@reubenmanzo2054 If the tax office is forbidding you to see their daughter, you're really in trouble.
I do, lol. And I'm 20.

Charles' father wasn't from the 30's, he was born in 1874
I thought of this exact scene when I saw that episode of Who Do You Think You Are.
And Charles had a daughter in 2012. Imagine your grandad is 138 years older than you. When he was born, you could still own people in America.
@@leonhardeuler675 1874 was after they abolished slavery in the colonies

2:15 He seems slightly terrified of Charles lol
Damn straight!! I would be too
slightly....?
Ok not gonna lie that shot of Charles smiling is the kind of 'terrifying smile' I imagine people in ASOIAF are afraid to see from Tywin
Charles Dance stole the show in every scene he was in, in GoT. The show was never quite as good without him.
Oh man, I just love it when Ayoade and Mitchell are in the same episode! The best assemblage ever
Well on this show they were both on every single episode, given that one is the host and one is a team captain.
I could never talk this way to Charles Dance. Sure it was all for a laugh and that, but I just could never!
When I first moved to London in 2006, Charles Dance was the first celebrity I saw out and about in a Waitrose; I got so flustered, I hid by the bottled water section until he paid for his shopping and left 😆
Charles Dance is the very own incarnation of an English gentleman. Class at its highest.
Charles Dance is a living legend!
Charles Dance is one handsome guy
the look on robs face when mickey said "he got down really well there" is so good!
I love Charles he's very charismatic and a wonderful actor
Robert Webb is the only man to insult Tywin Lannister and still live
Mr. Webb is tired. See him to the backstage.
To see David and Robert together again!
Love their friendship
They should've started playing the Rains of Castamere
Richard's "it's alright charles" might as well said, you're on your own to Robert haha
Robert Webb pissed himself when Charles Dance was looking at him Tywin Lannister style 🤣😂🤣😂
Usually not much of a fan of Mickey’s but that remark at the end was brilliant
What did he say?
@@Pat_Springleaf Tactical dot.
I used to think he was sub par compared to the others when I saw him on similar panel shows but his actual stand up act is hilarious.

wich don’t understand how you can’t not like him really
Charles Dance is a boss
When exactly was the tearing up?
Even just here, you FEEL him despite him being quiet and smiling.
Is there any man as majestic as Charles??
Is there any man from his generation as sexy as Charles??
3:10 Robert trying not to laugh when he says 1936🤣
"...Careful now boy. I enjoy you...but be careful....."
Remember when he was the witch hunter in merlin
"The facts point to one person and one person alone. The boy, Merlin!"
*silence*
"Merlin? You can't be serious."
Merlin is My Favorite TV Series
Charles Dance clearly has a one helluva sense of humour
He also knows his role in the act. He actually laughs very freely but understands that people want him to be intimidating.
Tywin was taking over Charles.
"The battle is over, we have won!" one one of the most badass phrases on GoT!
The 🐐est line of that show right there!!
He he heard oldschool, he looked so offended. Lmao
"He got down really well there!"
Waiting for the rains of castamere to start playing in the background
It was a totally different part of the program that he teared up.
Charles Dance is like my old headmaster. Only with charisma, sex appeal and talent
I totally understand Robbert Baratheon now when he said: *"Surrounded by Lannisters, everytime I close my eyes, I see their blond hair and their smug satisfied faces"*
This wouldn't be the first Robert that Lord Tywin outlived.
0:11 that joke was awesome
He missed his calling by not doing stand up.
When Charles Dance gives you the Tywin look, you will cry. Worst case scenario, shit your pants
Never thought id see Jeromy from Peep Show interact with Tywin Lannister loll
I would love to see a movie or series with charles dance and james spader, two of the most intense and intimidating actors I know of
Brilliant idea, love James Spader....they would be mesmerising.
I have a feeling that Charles continued to see that man’s daughter anyway
Am I right in thinking that Ayoade literally didn't speak a _word_ through that ENTIRE clip? "And Moss was... there!"
Charles dance is intimidating. I don’t know if it’s because he is a Tywin or because Tywin is Charles.
I've never heard of Charles Dance. Yes, I live under a rock. But anyway, he is absolutely gorgeous ! With his looks and that accent, I'll take him anytime.

Robert was very close to laughing when he said the law act was from the 1930s
Charles Dance is Tywin Lannister in real life as well.
1:53 I can't stop laughing
Robert Webb is great here but the way Mickey Flanagan trumps him with 'he got down really well, there' is a masterclass in stealing the punchline!
He was definitely crying..
It’s so awkward, it’s brilliant 😂😂😂😂
Please bring this show back, especially if you're gonna upload clips of it today.
Ooh Charles Dance is STILL ver ver sexy 🔥🔥
Christofer Lee and Charles dances would make an amazing duo!
Unfortunately one of them is kinda a bit dead
Fun fact - his dad fought in the Boer war
So his dad was late victorian then! Unless he was very young

I can’t believe Charles Dance was arrested. Lannisters don’t act like fools
Charles is like a sir knight mingling with the masses but despising them and keeping his true self secret even us his life is a public one.
The ending was just the best
When he said our father I thought he was about to start praying lmao
You can almost see Robert´s mind going to a personal hell of him digging his own grave for all eternity!. hahahha
They skipped the "What the fuck have I done?!", that was the best part!
I was half-expecting someone, possibly Richard, to say something like "What's that meme again... You know, the one about someone about to end someone's whole career?"

I’m not sure if Webb was crying or Dance was offended. Brilliant show tho
I think he was more amused than seriously offended but playing it up because it was so fun to watch Robert Webb squirm and stumble and dig deeper.
I had to quickly look ip Charles Dance's filmography to work out what I'd seen him in.
Not usually a fan of mickey Flanagan but he was hilarious In that last bit
I love Charles dance and I hope I meet you one day ❤️
Charles Dance is a majestic man.
They didn't ask him if he saw her anyway!
Well, thank you, Robert, for making me feel old! My father was from the 1930s and I am much younger than you! D:
I wouldn't be so joyous with Tywin Lannister staring me down like that.
