Stoatwobbler Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The guy's a living legend. Yes, he should have stayed in Goldthorpe and not gotten ideas above his station. Gone dahn't t'pit and then spent his declining years on t'dole, moaning about t'council and t'government. That's how northerners should live. I always find it amusing that the most famous thing to have come out of Goldthorpe is Brian Blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 He doesn't come from Goldthorpe. He comes from Mexborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 He doesn't come from Goldthorpe. He comes from Mexborough. Maybe the confusion has come about from being able to hear his booming voice in Goldthorpe when he was growing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is as I talk a lot I doubt he would get a word in edgeways ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Gosh I would love to go for a few pints with him. Trouble is as I talk a lot I doubt he would get a word in edgeways ! I think Brian isn't the sort of shy retiring type that struggles to get a word in:hihi: I'd bet he's a laugh to be around though I suspect it'd all be too much for the likes of AlexAtkin.

Jessoo Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Oooh I've always liked Brian Blessed ever since he played Fancy Smith in Z Cars when I was a little girl. He couldn't act then, can't act now. He's had more opportunity than most to sharpen up his act. To no avail. He can shout though. Enough said? I used to see (rather hear) him and his lovely wife Hildergard Neil around Richmond. Francy perfectly summed it up: ACTOR??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manlinose Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 What a boring world it would be without the likes of Brian Blessed. We need more variety on TV, stage and in life in general, not less. I'd rather watch and listen to Brian than most of the interchangeable cloned presenters/actors/guests you see and hear these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedave Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 He doesn't come from Goldthorpe. He comes from Mexborough. He was born in hospital in Mexborough but he actually grew up in Goldthorpe on Probert Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
