Just watched it on iPlayer after seeing this and I couldn't stop lol'ing the whole way through

Awesome episode!

Anyone know the size of the online files relative to the ones you download to watch with offline iPlyar? Any help would be great. Brilliant episode so far btw

Brian Blessed is a legend - really nice chap too.

Can't remember where I heard this, but it has stuck with me.

"No-one should play God - apart from Brian Blessed"

Now going to watch this on iPlayer I think. Oooh. - It's got Brigstocke on it as well.

I thought that, but he (along with the other three) barely get a word in. It's basically the Brian Blessed show.

So it was. Still, nearly died laughing at it.

Loved that bit. No-one could have said it better!

I watched this on Friday night and thought it was hilarious. The Scottish putting £5 of fuel in and him "realising" the Tory MP was gay was just brilliant. One of the best episodes of HIGNFY ever.

The bit with him talking about how the Spartans in 300 were a bunch of puffs and nancy boys was hilarious, the way he turns to the Gay Tory was legendary.

Showed it to the missus last night, and she howled with laughter! After the first 10 minutes we were in absolute agony, clutching our sides in desperation and hoping against hope that the madness would end!

Pure quality; that man is a national treasure.

I laughed quite a lot when he was talking about Everest and the turd.

That's the glamour of Everest.

Marvellous program. Thanks to the OP for bringing it to my attention and the BBC for iplayer.

I've read that the streaming version is about 40% of the size of the download version, but I haven't checked that.

Truly brilliant, Brian Blessed is a legend. He could read the dictionary out and it would funny

Best HIGNFY of this series, one of the best ever. I laughed so hard it hurt, how cool would it have been to be in that audience
