The Day I Got to Meet Brian Blessed

I was very excited last week as I got to meet the legendary Brian Blessed, who is doing the voice of the Fearsome Beastie in the animation short of my book.

It was such a pleasure and he is really is lovely chap, we were all enthralled by his various stories of showbiz antics from watching Peter Cushing in the theatrical production of 1984 to having tea with Kenneth Branagh! Plus he spoke at length about his many adventures and his extreme challenges which included going to some rather remote locations in South America, all were conveyed with some rather colourful language, which was both shocking and hilarious.

I do hope that I get to meet him again when we eventually do a launch screening for the film, a true British Legend.

    Can't believe no one has commented on this Giles.
    What a massive legend that man is! You must be chuffed.

    The beard was immense, it was like it had its own personality
