Funny you should say that. Having young children Peppa Pig is on in my house a lot. Brian voices Grampy Rabbit. He runs a lighthouse and when it's Foggy Grampy Rabbit shouts FOG at the top of his voice.
I had no idea about that, as I don't watch Peppa Pig.
The end of his episode of I, Claudius is amazing. Augustus dies and slowly you see his face in close up listening to his wife tell him she's killed him with poison ....and he slowly dies on camera, facing it in full close up....and the light in his eyes dies and he's in perfect stillness.Its eerie and unsettling and brilliant at the same time.
Poor Augustus - that Livia was one evil poisoning witch!

But like the historical sources the book is based on a lot of it is like the worst sort of tabloid cobblers - with a political agenda written after their deaths to destroy their characters.
Bullshit in other words.
And I have seen recent documentaries on Livia, Nero and Gaius Germanicus - he hated the nickname 'Caligula' - and there was very little contemporary accounts of their real personalities.
I highly doubt that we will ever know the real truth now but it made for some wonderful television.
Fantastic isn't it? Brian Blessed and Hawkwind. I cant get over it. Just need Stacia to make a comeback now!
My brother's band are supporting Hawkwind at "Hawktoberfest" in Manchester at beginning of October. He's so hoping that BB makes an appearance. Think he's more excited about the possibility of meeting Brian than he is in supporting the Hawks...
Brian Blessed and (the late) Brian Glover are his two favourite actors - by a mile.
I can't help but smile when Brian is on screen his enthusiasm for everything is infectious. How lovely would it be to have a person like this in your life?

It might be alright if I had a pair of ear-defenders.

That's a joke, just for the parents isn't it.
