Brian Blessed

With Derek Jacoby as Claudius.

And Brian Blessed as Augustus.

Varus, where are my eagles? Yep, that's my Brian Blessed.

That's Beau doing Brian Blessed, doing Augustus.

He lost his eagles, his military standard, the eagles, in the Teutoburg Forest, and he wanted them back.

Varus the General had lost Augustus the eagles, and Brian Blessed, stroke Augustus, wants them back.

OK, could go on and on and on about that, but I'm going to move on.

Second factoid this morning is, on this day in H13 AD, Louis the Pious was made co-emperor.

But it would be, if you wanted a...

A Brian Blessed of a track car, you know, big, loud and entertaining.

...

Emma Williams as Truly Scrumptious, Anton Rogers as Grandpa Potts, Brian Blessed as Baron Bomburst, Nicola McAuliffe as Baroness Bomburst, Richard O'Brien as the Child Catcher, fantastic casting.

Don't understand how Servillan and Travis turned up.

another planet that turned out to be a forest inhabited by a race that looked like medieval brian blessed appreciation society some very poor shots of the liberator in space i really don't understand when they've had better shots in earlier episodes that they should regress so much the attacks on blake and crew by the brian blessed appreciation society was very poor as was the later fight scenes frightening close-up of an undercooked chicken before the table was systematically cleared in that lamentable fight scene I'm surprised Travis got good reviews.
