Re: if Brian Blessed were a panelist...

Speaking of Jean Marsh, she's one of my favorite guest panelists from the 70's, I thought she did marvellously. she was very informative, definitely wasn't intimidated by the other panelists, was very good at the game itself, and listening to her voice is simply a delight.

Regarding Simon Williams, I always felt sorry for the poor blighter, he had a rough time during his two appearances. Although in his appearances, I always found it a source of confusion when Nicholas referred to Simon as being an actor from the 'legitimate theater'. He did the exact same thing to Martin Jarvis I believe, who actually appeared in the same series of episodes as Simon Williams. And it always struck me as odd that Nicholas should say that these people come from the 'legitimate theater'. What does he mean by that? Is he saying that comedy isn't a legitimate form a theater? Is he saying that the panelists aren't legitimate performers or actors?

Anyway, back to Mr. Blessed. I hope they give a shot at being on the show, I think it would be a real hoot and a half.

Interesting idea- I would like to see more 'actors'give the game a try.Brian Blessed would not be timid that is for sure. I thought both Simon Williams and Jean Marsh both did well for first timers.
Of course some actors Need scripts and not good at Improv.

On a side note

This is the 3rd time in the last couple of weeks that someone from I Claudius has come up in a conversion or referrance- time to break down and replace my VHS with the dvds? Miriam

I can imagine him challenging and saying at the top of his voice things like 'HESITATION!!' or 'DEVIATION!!' I also get the feeling he would have a lot to say, and has a good ear for anecdotes. I think the show would be even more of a laugh riot than the episode that featured Elaine Stritch.
