    Duke Thomas Beaufort of Exeter delivers a bold message in this clip from Henry V. Grab it on Blu-ray at www.shoutfactory.com/film/act...
    Once More Unto The Breach, Dear Friends…
    From Kenneth Branagh - in his masterful directorial debut - comes the classic adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Henry V, winner* of an Academy Award® and 2 nominations.**
    Once an undisciplined prince, Henry has matured into the powerful King of England and has set off on a campaign to conquer France. But with the fate of the war uncertain, Henry must come to terms with what it means to be king and rally his men to victory… or to death.

    Classic. Brian is a legend. He dresses like that daily. Drives a king tiger tank to the shops. Eats raw steak for breakfast. Women throw themselves at him. He even mastered Windows 8. Never has a unrecognised item in the bagging area. Drinks coffee not macholattefrappovende. And always calls his mum

      @@karenstjohn6759 Excelsior!!! Although tbf I am a fan of both the American tank doctrine and the Russian tank doctrines. But you see too expensive and advanced a tank means it might become disproportionately difficukt to transport. I would prefer that ANTI infantry tanks be reconfigured- they might be the need of the hour? Or will even betrer armed and armored and better massproduced Humvees suffice? They should, the bastardized civilian variants are absolute beasts.

    Brian Blessed survived his plane crashing into the jungle in Venezuela. During his journey to the North Pole (he is the oldest person ever to do so), he punched a polar bear in the face. He has boxed (sparred) with, and is a friend of, the Dalai Lama. He delivered a woman's baby in a public park, and severed the umbilical cord with his teeth in order to tie it off. These are facts. The only goal he hasn't accomplished is climbing Mt. Everest. I choose to believe there is divine interference because St. Peter is scared he's trying to climb to heaven.

    The British Monarchy will not allow Brian Blessed within 1000 meters from Buckingham Palace for fear that he will claim the Crown for himself. Surface to ground missles have been set up in case he breaks the limit, but all indications show that they will not be sufficient to stop him. A beta-test was launched against him at a Chuck E. Cheese, but he laughed it off, went inside and won all the cool gifts from the claw machine, including the lobster-harmonica.
