Don't forget the time the train was struck by lightning when he had his arm out of the window. The bolt hit him, and was earthed with no damage whatsoever. He really was a great conductor.
The thumbnail made me think train conductor. Your accent and the name made me think I made a mistake and it was an orchestra conductor. Then your words told me train conductor, again. What a rollercoaster.
They don't teach anything in schools these days. Apart from maths, science, humanities, languages and all that other crap. It's political correctness gone mad!
Honestly, the skill! First five seconds, we have the gaze off camera, then duped by the BBC2 voice, then blindsided by the emphasis on the word "onto", the payoff "bus" shoots past so then on we can't predict the laughs in advance. Get this man a knighthood.
Last night I have shown this masterpiece video to my other half... and got a monotone reaction "sorry, but I'm not familiar with Kopacheski so can't really appreciate the reference." I can't believe it -- How one can know Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Snooki, Faberge, Beethovern, and not Kopacheski! The world deserves to know and remember its heroes
Having come from the Scandinacian Crime Drama video my brain screamed all throughout this and suddenly couldn't comprehend a British accent. "NÖ. NÖ, DIS MAN SPEAKS MY LÄNGUAGE, I HAVE HÖRD IT!" Brilliant video, once my brain forced itself to understand actual English again, and I'm happy I found you! :D Also: Your hair is *glorious*
I was fortunate be experience his growth .He drove the morning bus . I remember how he experimented with his voice in those days , from a suprano to to tenor on any given day . He once greeted an oriental couple with such a soft timbre that I openly wept at work for the whole day.
As someone who regularly takes the GWR from Plymouth to Exeter St Davids I can confirm that is exactly how the conductor sounds, every time. Kopacheski's legacy will forever live on!
Lockdown's made me really miss my normal commute between Plymouth and Exeter St Davids. Odd emotional undercurrent to watching a funny sketch, lol. Always loved trains. Not in a collecting information sort of way, probably couldn't tell one from another... just more in a lifestyle sense. Ups and downs with delays or cancellations, sparking up conversations with strangers, feeling proud to go out of your way to get to do something you love in another place. Things to miss in current times.
In the UK trains being late is normally caused by other trains being in the way (one train a minute late can cause 6 hours of disruption in an area), thanks to how overloaded the UK railway network is. And it often happens... (partially because safely is always prioritised over timeliness)
I had the great honour of meeting Kopacheski whilst aboard the train from London to Manchester shortly after his unsuccessful stint with British Leyland. He asked to check my tickets then shortly after announced that we were just arriving at Coventry. Dearly missed after that rabbit incident. A true conducting legend
I can't believe he managed to represent the 1A transit route for Go NorthEast and the trainline between Exeter in Plymouth and one skit. Absolute Madlad.
He's actually Ross Noble's funnier twin, and as bairns in their pram, their mam left them outside Greggs in Gosforth in the rain while she was waiting to have a stottie filled and his hair went rusty as Ross wouldn't let him under the hood of the pram where he preferred to sit, twiddling his hair in the dry.
You remind me so much of Graham Chapman for some reason! The expressions, the way you move your mouth when talking, the serious face, the way you carry your voice.... It's uncanny!
Legend has it that Kopacheski has become the third pilot on Dodo Airlines, not being able to fly his job consists of doing all of the announcements for his mute colleagues.
Please make the Thumbnail someone playing violin in a Train Station, so more people are confused as to what kind of conductor this video will be about :D
I too am glad that I was recommended your channel.. but I am already annoyed by all the comments who cannot but reference the biggest video... You are all so creative
I was on a train just outside Exeter and it stopped for a potracted period and the guard came on and was awfully well spoken. Like Royal Shakespeare Company well spoken. After he finished I mimiced his voice and did an impromptu breakdown of his life and how, after the divorce, this was the only work he could get. People where laughing their arses off and said they'd been thinking exactly the same thing! LOL Edit: Maybe I should start a TH-cam channel? Hmmm...
I still believe his infamous "mind the gap", [performed underground in london] , to be his greatest work. opening to acclaim and ahead of it's time on the northern line's angel platform, it is still considered by many to be shocking, a tour de force on the circle line.
... aaaaand ever since I meet this man my life is not the same and Nikolai Ivanovich Kopacheski is his name. Oi! Nikolai Ivanovich ... I am never forget the day... &c. &c. 😋

This is such a simple joke and you absolutely nail it. The wedding bit was pure gold.

Ah the Kopacheski scales. I've seen it imitated, but never duplicated.
My grandfather was a bus conductor in London in the post-war years. I like to think he’d enjoy this. Well done sir.

A bit of a red-shift though ...
Oh. THAT kind of conductor. The title made me think this was about the best electrical conducting material.
I'm so jelly of his luxurious thick hair.
You should see his mosh pit.
I was fortunate be experience his growth .He drove the morning bus . I remember how he experimented with his voice in those days , from a suprano to to tenor on any given day . He once greeted an oriental couple with such a soft timbre that I openly wept at work for the whole day.
What a feeling it was to hear the Exeter St Davids to Plymouth route being talked about on TH-cam. FGW represent
Us Cornish left out as per usual ☹️
I never knew people outside of Exeter ever knew it existed.
I could almost see Dawlish Warren out the window! 👀
Kopacheski, that legend. He didn't stay long on this Earth, but in his short stay, he had managed things mankind can only dream of.
As someone who regularly takes the GWR from Plymouth to Exeter St Davids I can confirm that is exactly how the conductor sounds, every time. Kopacheski's legacy will forever live on!

Brilliant, totally subverted my expectations, and a wonderful parody of arts shows at the same time.
Please mind the gap, between the timetable, and reality.
So angry I didn't know about this channel earlier.
I'm a ginger and this dude's hair puts mine to utter shame. Time to go shave my head and repent
I can't even deny being a ginger any more. My blonde hair is going bald leaving me with a ginger beard
Yeah, I'm a ginger too and I'm having an identity crisis because of his hair. 😭
So gorgeous.
But do you have visible eyebrows?
@@Ajehy it’s not that they’re not visible, he literally doesn’t have any.
Mine is more magnificent than his, but I can't sport the beard and mustache.
Truly an artist the world does NOT deserve. I raise a glass to you good sir.
My favorite part of this is that the best conductor on earth is running seven minutes late
World’s greatest, not necessarily the best.
In the UK trains being late is normally caused by other trains being in the way (one train a minute late can cause 6 hours of disruption in an area), thanks to how overloaded the UK railway network is. And it often happens... (partially because safely is always prioritised over timeliness)
Your writing, acting, and accents are actually phenomenal. Great stuff, sir.
You've got that cadence that everyone on the BBC had for decades down!
The most adventurous pronunciation of "Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe" I ever came across! :-) Keep going!
It should be be-tree-be, not be-try-buh I think...? I got it right in one of the other takes.
@@ABeckettKing Yeah! That way! :-) Greetings from Germany.
@@ABeckettKing Also, fuh-CARE (v is pronounced f, stress on second syllable), but it doesn't matter really. :)

I don't care what this man says. I just want to look at him, in awe.
Thanks for this. I am suddenly reminded of a time I took a train in NYC up the Hudson and the conducter went "All abooooooooooaaard!" It was poetry.
Oh my, what a shockingly good video! Both enlightening, and with an energy that is just electrifying.
I can't believe he managed to represent the 1A transit route for Go NorthEast and the trainline between Exeter in Plymouth and one skit. Absolute Madlad.
It's always so strange hearing things local to you on the internet, I take the train from St Davids to Plymouth often. (or used to)
Best TH-cam recommendation EVER! 👏🏼
I hoped before clicking this would be about public transit. I'm so happy!
Spreading conductor awareness. Very important.
Having seen two videos from this channel I can't tell what this guys natural accent is. I hope you get paid good money to do voiceover work.
Was it this one and the one about Gunnar Gunnarsson?
Because same. And I am now very confused
Thought he's from y'knaa, Tyneside like. Hmmm... But he's aced the RP accent without a trace of 'regional' so now I'm not so sure.
He's actually Ross Noble's funnier twin, and as bairns in their pram, their mam left them outside Greggs in Gosforth in the rain while she was waiting to have a stottie filled and his hair went rusty as Ross wouldn't let him under the hood of the pram where he preferred to sit, twiddling his hair in the dry.

You had me there at the start. I was expecting a symphany and I got comedy gold.
The only time I have ever heard my wonderful Whitley Bay, and the metrocentre, mentioned in a TH-cam video.
Weren't you in the highly influential 90's band Jellyfish?
Or perhaps it was a Poirot mystery as one of the suspects?
As all of the suspects
Absurdist masterpiece . Would love to see what you do with a feature. You ever written long form or worked with a writer?

@Joshua - Only to the deserving ones!
Legend has it that Kopacheski has become the third pilot on Dodo Airlines, not being able to fly his job consists of doing all of the announcements for his mute colleagues.
I laughed myself into a coughing fit! And loved the eminently confident mispronunciation of Berlin’s “FER-kers-be-triba”! Great touch!
Superb.
Bravo, Kopachevski !
You are a very clever man, Mr. Beckett-King.
You are a story teller. And I appreciate you.
I do so love a dumb joke delivered smartly. This entire channel is a delight.
Awwww I get the St David's to Plymouth train all the time! I've never felt so SEEN
unironically, this guy would be great at eulogies
At first I was confused. Now, I am enlightened. Thank you. My village has clean water now.
This would have fit in as the premise for a Monty Python sketch, and you can't get higher praise than that.
Superb!!

Maybe one day I'll make another Nordic Noir video, like they ask. And they'll say, "it isn't as good as the first one."
I'm sure I witnessed a fine performance one autumn's night upon the 18a service to Droitwich.
I was on a train just outside Exeter and it stopped for a potracted period and the guard came on and was awfully well spoken. Like Royal Shakespeare Company well spoken.

Randomly came across this channel in recommendations. Best discovery of 2021
Where have this channel been my entire life
Between Whitley bay and the Metro Centre. You sire, are a genius.
'Exeter St Davids to Plymouth' made my heart stop for a second - I make that journey all the Goddamn time!
I'm tempted to subscribe - because of your hair ... it's ... beautiful!
Never watched so many videos from a single creator all at once in my life
Your humour catches me off guard even when I know what I am coming here to see. That's talent
I was perplexed by the thumbnail not picturing an orchestral conductor...
I feel like I'm right back on the 10am train from Clackton-on-sea to Colchester.
I still believe his infamous "mind the gap", [performed underground in london] , to be his greatest work.
opening to acclaim and ahead of it's time on the northern line's angel platform, it is still considered by many to be shocking, a tour de force on the circle line.
This might be the best TH-cam video of all time.
Think this could be the best yet.
