Brian Blessed does not sleep. A Sandman tried to put Brian Blessed to sleep once when he was still just a newborn. Baby Brian Blessed strangled him with just one hand. That Sandman is no longer with us, and all other Sandmen stay far far away.
Brian Cox runs through his repertoire of socially engaging facial expressions, attempting to find one that tames Blessed; a mission doomed to fail with the enigmatically irrepressable characature that is Mount Blessed.
I was in the city centre of Worcester about 15years ago, when I stopped and listened, as were many others doing, as a booming voice bounced around the market square..I followed the sound, approximately 300 yards down another street, which took me to a video shop with the first floor window open as it was a hot day..and there I could see the back of Brian Blesseds head as he signed copies of Flash Gordon...his voice literally booming around the streets to bemused shoppers. He really is a one off!
I love Brian Blessed. He survived a plane crash, made friends with a Mongolian Husky, played an epic role in Flash Gordon and punched a polar bear in the face. He is obviously mad as a hatter :D
Brian Cox just sat here, smiling the whole time. The dreamer listening to the overly enthusiastic madman with stories-o-plenty. I love them both so much.
he is life itself.he doesn't get the credit he deserves.oldest man to climb the furthest up Everest without oxygen before having to turn around to save someones life.boxed with the dhali lama.north pole.and all other sorts of things.national treasure I think
@@uttaradit2 his mother is Welsh but that does not make him Welsh. Born in Mexborough, in several interviews he proudly identifies as a South Yorkshire man.
I believe the reason Brian Blessed has been able to do all this epic stuff that would have killed lesser men is because Death is too terrified to take him.
Brian's face is a picture listening to Blessed's manic story telling rant. Blessed looks like he's just fought his way out of a barbed wire enclosure for polar bears and wolves.
I admire Brian so much. Age has not dulled his attitude to life one iota. Saw his show in Warrington two nights ago. He is enjoying an amazing life and will outlive us all. And the cockroaches
Wow. Mr Cox looks blown away by his energy!!!!! All I can say is that I hope I have *half* the energy he has when I'm his age. Amazing man. To say he is a legend is an understatement. Nice guy too. LLAP Brian.
3:40; "We saw 4 very big 8ft giant robot men around us." Did Brian Blessed indirectly tell us a story (from the woman's perspective) that Area 51 has space marines?
People find it hard to take in, but we are more housebound than people were from years ago. If you travel as much as Brian has, you gain a lot of stories, and a lot of odd things can happen as you travel. It's just when you tell people who don't travel, they are "yeah, whatever"
Beautiful. We fear what we don't know. We understand of space much more now. New sci fi movies reflect that. No more monsters from the Moon or Mars. Humans are awesome.
listening to Brian Blessed talk about the plane crash and all that sounds exactly like a stereotypical "Explorers club" member recounting his escapades. It's classic. so awesome to listen to.
Anyone remember that episode of Futurama when Fry has 100 cups of coffee? I've come to the conclusion that Brian Blessed is constantly on 99. I love his energy :D
Crikey! Some chemical imbalances taking Brian over the edge into crazy territory. His eyes!! He just needs to come back a foot or two from the precipice and stay this side of the cliff....love him...he's like a beautiful mad bear...
When you watch BB and bless him he looks completely manic like he’s about to explode into song and dance. He is the very epitome of the lovey darling ACTors....I adore him...
If I could be half the man and lived half the life Brian has is and does… I would be very content…. And I have done a lot… but blessed is on another level
Wo! Wo! Wo!....wait... just a minute there! Back to 1:02, please... "fling the women out into the bloody swamps!" What?!?! Did I miss hear that? They threw the women passengers out of the plane? Prof Cox's face dropped at that comment too.
I'm almost certain that in 50 years, people will think Brian Blessed was a myth.
And Tom baker
He's also punched a polar bear on the nose... _obviously!_
I bet he'll still be around surviving on just pure will and confidence
He’s already a legend
The man will never die
Even Professor Brian Cox can't work out the mysteries of Brian Blessed.
Brian Blessed remember all the timelines at once. He is the multiverse!
@@peter.24.7 he should be a marvel character
Blessed looks like he's been awake for a month.
He's been awake for 80 years.
he walked to the moon and back earlier that day.
Looks like he’s been playing COD for 7 days straight!
Brian Blessed does not sleep. A Sandman tried to put Brian Blessed to sleep once when he was still just a newborn. Baby Brian Blessed strangled him with just one hand. That Sandman is no longer with us, and all other Sandmen stay far far away.
you made me lol
Brian Cox runs through his repertoire of socially engaging facial expressions, attempting to find one that tames Blessed; a mission doomed to fail with the enigmatically irrepressable characature that is Mount Blessed.
I wouldn't even have tried.
Your comment is one of the finest pieces of writing I've ever seen.
I like you
Brian Cox thinking;
-" I can imagine the size and end of universe,but have no idea where this is leading or ending"
I could listen to Brian Blessed all day - a living legend.
you'd have no choice BUT to listen
There's not many people you can say on about. He is a delight to listen to.
Buy Realmslayer. There is two audio books starring Brian as the dwarf mad lad Gotrek. 8 epic hours of Brian.
100% agree!
When they ask you who you would have at the dinner table, this legend comes to mind.
'there's a bow-legged bloody jack russell leading us to a civilisation'
Sounds like a line from a song lol
and they always will.
perfect dogs.
People in America can hear him.
Not on their tellies, his voice just booms over the ocean.

And, for fun, climbs up mountains WITHOUT oxygen
he had oxygen
Boxed with the Dalai Lama.
Also repeatedly kicked Peter O'Toole's arse
And has heard The Queen say, “fuck”!!!
Brian Cox just sat here, smiling the whole time. The dreamer listening to the overly enthusiastic madman with stories-o-plenty.
I love them both so much.
His positivity is wonderful. I hope and trust that it extends beyond the projected persona, and into his private thinking time.
he is life itself.he doesn't get the credit he deserves.oldest man to climb the furthest up Everest without oxygen before having to turn around to save someones life.boxed with the dhali lama.north pole.and all other sorts of things.national treasure I think
and hes welsh
@@uttaradit2 his mother is Welsh but that does not make him Welsh. Born in Mexborough, in several interviews he proudly identifies as a South Yorkshire man.
@@GeorgeSmith1066 he's from a welsh valley ...dont make him english either
@@uttaradit2 He's from doncaster :/
@@grandmastercultistofbenThence I rest my case .....might explain the brey......
Brian is genuinely and without a doubt the most interesting man in the world
Yes.
I can listen to Brian Blessed's stories for days. Literal days.
This man is just tremendous. Energy personified
I believe the reason Brian Blessed has been able to do all this epic stuff that would have killed lesser men is because Death is too terrified to take him.
"Brian Blessed on surviving a plane crash" haha! What has this man NOT done!?
Died in a plane crash?
Survived = Died? I don’t understand.
The question was "What has this man NOT done!?", and Rufert wisely replied with "died in a plane crash", since Brian Blessed survived.
Died
Not only that: but crashing in an Indian village led by a Jack Russell and flying over the airspace of Area 51.
Got to love Brian Blessed. What a bloke!
I saw live last night at a theatre in Scunthorpe.....the audience was transfixed. The man in my opinion is a legend.
Mr Blessed is the great tradition of English eccentrics,living legend The Blessed,all hail the blessed.:-)
I am just convinced he's another Time Lord, but his TARDIS is part of his beard. He doesn't need a magical blue box.
@@shootybaking you could well be right.
Brian's face is a picture listening to Blessed's manic story telling rant. Blessed looks like he's just fought his way out of a barbed wire enclosure for polar bears and wolves.
That's just on his way to his kitchen.
I admire Brian so much. Age has not dulled his attitude to life one iota. Saw his show in Warrington two nights ago. He is enjoying an amazing life and will outlive us all. And the cockroaches
Everyone keeps writing "Brian Blessed". No, it's BRIAN BLESSED
And if you want to emphasize, !!! BRIAN BLESSED !!!
QUITE RIGHT!!!
His intensity and command of that magnificent voice makes for a great storyteller.
Wow. Mr Cox looks blown away by his energy!!!!! All I can say is that I hope I have *half* the energy he has when I'm his age. Amazing man. To say he is a legend is an understatement. Nice guy too. LLAP Brian.
brian cox thinks to himself blessed's energy level totally screws up all of my cosmology theories. damn nobel prize, over rate. "sniff, sniff"
remember it was the 60s and he was a young man then, and today we still are hearing things today on the net.
Brian Blessed is clearly the pinnacle of Human evolution. You can't top that.
What an amazing man. He has done so much in his life.
Brian Blessed is one of my favourite people ever. An absolute f***ing legend.
How is Brian Cox not in hysterics? Blessed is brilliant :P
He looks too in awe to be in hysterics.
@@Dendroapsis enfp.
If God comes down to earth he's going to look and sound like Brian Blessed.
The look of incredulity on Prof Cox's face is priceless.
Brian Blessed and Brian Cox in one video. Two amazingly talented people in one video.
3:40; "We saw 4 very big 8ft giant robot men around us."
Did Brian Blessed indirectly tell us a story (from the woman's perspective) that Area 51 has space marines?

When he finally passes away, nobody’s going to believe it for a week. The guy is so full of life!
"HEEEELP I'VE CRASHED IN THE JUNGLE. SEND HELP!" - Everyone on earth hears and responds.
Gotta love Brian Blessed, he is nuts haha

Brian Blessed = proper legend
The guy is a genius actor . Superb story teller and an extremely funny guy.
Great guy
The passion in his voice for those Flash cleaner adverts is awesome!.
What an enigma, love this dude.
“There’s a bow-legged bloody jack Russell leading us to civilisation!”
but Jack Russells do that. they are just travel sized Brian Blesseds.
half of this is unintelligble- its just sounds , i love it !!
Imagine being in the same room as Brian Blessed Gary Busey and Jack Nicholson..
Get rid of Busey and it would probably be pretty good!
NO!!! I cannot!!! Therapy is quite costly!!!
Imagine being in a dark room, alone, with Gary busey.
Police Crime film:--Brian Blessed, Gary Busy, Jack Nicholson, and Christopher Walken coming out of retirement to take down Al Pacino.
Between Brian Blessed and Bob Mortimer you could clothed the world with the yard they spin
Life is pouring out of him, amazing.
Brian Blessed just adores being Brian Blessed.
as is meet and right, so to do.
Inside Brian’s head throughout this whole interview “This man is beyond quantum mechanics”
Got to love this man!
I love him. He is a great storyteller!
That man is truly BLESSED!
I'm convinced that Brian Blessed just does this to mess with people.
Brian is loud, brash, swears a lot, bloody hell we love him!
Beautiful.
We fear what we don't know. We understand of space much more now. New sci fi movies reflect that. No more monsters from the Moon or Mars.
Humans are awesome.
Brian Cox be like " damm I was in a band for years and never got offered the kind of drugs that Brian Blessed is on" 😭
listening to Brian Blessed talk about the plane crash and all that sounds exactly like a stereotypical "Explorers club" member recounting his escapades. It's classic. so awesome to listen to.

Plot twist Brian Blessed has just been on one big LSD trip his entire life
Chuck Norris moves to the other side of the street when Brian Blessed comes a walking.
Truly a legend.
I love Brian he's Awesome he was great in flash Gordon and black adder
I can imagine inviting Brian Blessed to a dinner party. Nobody will be saying anything. Listening to BB and his endless nearly-always-true anecdotes.
One thing you can say about Brian is, the man has lived his life to the fullest.
Brian Blessed has so much energy you could use him to power the entire UK for a decade.
Absolutely love this man.
Brian's left eyebrow is like a mini beard. xD
Brian Blessed just an amazing man.
Listening to Brian Blessed is just bonkers, makes me laugh soo much lmao! He is a legend
The best Brian’s in one place
Incredible actor. Love him!
"Don't worry about the crash position we're all going to die"......
3:43: He saw the men in black?.😮😮
This bloke his a great real life man
Vulcan Lord of the Hawkmen, flying around Nimbus clouds has an amazing irony to it. :)
He's voice is so peacefully
Ricordo questo tizio come voce del capo tim di jurassic world e di clayton di tarzan che RICORDI!!!
This zoomed in camera + Brian Blessed = too intense.
All I hear is Boss Nass from Star Wars or Red Ivan from EVIL GENIUS 2
This guy is awesome... i wanna meet him. It will be flipping great time.
WHAT A BLOOOODY LEGEND
Crikey! Some chemical imbalances taking Brian over the edge into crazy territory. His eyes!! He just needs to come back a foot or two from the precipice and stay this side of the cliff....love him...he's like a beautiful mad bear...
Blessed's Alive!!!....
Just home from an audience with Mr blessed in my local theatre. He’s a brilliant man. Totally captivating character. Hilarious!!
this man is a legend
"We managed to find a pemon indian village led by a jack russell terrier."
I lost it.
We love brian blessed he so funny nice man,
When you watch BB and bless him he looks completely manic like he’s about to explode into song and dance. He is the very epitome of the lovey darling ACTors....I adore him...
If I could be half the man and lived half the life Brian has is and does… I would be very content…. And I have done a lot… but blessed is on another level
Brian has done something strong
Cox is amazed and terrified in equal measure!!
Top bloke.....proper character.
The plane crash survived Brian Blessed
He could read the phone book to me and I'd be enthralled.
After the crash, the plane apologized to Brian for even daring to think it could hurt him.
Jesus these guy has lived hundreds of lives from what I’ve seen online dear god
The plane crash was just the start and this was a wild ride
I'm just sitting here like I can't believe this it's too crazy
Where can I find the story at about 3:30 ?
if its a documented case then it might be found on the Nation Archives, under UK Ministry of Defence documents regarding ufo's
Lewis Turner the national archives are online! try here, www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ufos/
Wo! Wo! Wo!....wait... just a minute there! Back to 1:02, please... "fling the women out into the bloody swamps!" What?!?! Did I miss hear that? They threw the women passengers out of the plane? Prof Cox's face dropped at that comment too.
He is indicating that he prioritised getting the women to safety from the wreckage as a first priority before himself. Erm Wo! Wo! Wo! to you too XD
what a warrior
BBC, what program is this from and is it available on ipayer or youtube? Ta
Living legend
