Brian Blessed: Petrol Crisis! -Have I Got News For You- BBC

[keyboardescapism]

The first time I watched this episode, I was rather suspicious that Thames Water had put LSD into the water mains as a practical joke...

[fizz113]

He should be the Speaker of the House of Commons.

In fact, Morgan Freeman should narrate everybody's life stories, Blessed should do all inspirational speeches

[BSEmadcow]

Brilliant delivery of the Scottish joke haha

[SephSora]

PETROLLL! WE'RE RUNNING OUT!! :D

[jjintheuk]

thanks for blocking this on mobile's -.-

[CaptainKubla]

Hahahahaha.....Legendary nutter. A true Englishman if ever I saw one. :D

[Dendiol]

I now always read the Daily Mail in his voice.

[shakercoola]

I never had so much fun watching a TV show! The Big Man is a national treasure sure enough.

[babscabs1987]

great beard!

[walonsubi]

How much do I need to pay to have him read the papers for me in the morning?

[GarethJonesify]

@walonsubi Fuck that, i want him reading me bed time stories :D

[DancingNightingale]

Almost jumped out my skin when he bellowed "PETROL!". It's my own fault, I should've predicted it - I am watching BRAIN BLESSED after all.

[KurtMcGowan]

He should do the news x

[jayjayoka]

i love this, paul merton never laughs but even he cracks up! brian blessed is a leg end

[BenK8319]

Newspapers have been doing their bit to calm motorists with headlines like PETROOOOL! WE'RE RUNNING OUT! STRIIIIKE! SPARKS FUEL! SHORTAGE! FEARS!!! WILL FUEL STOCKS RUN DRY!?

But i'm alright :)

[scaryninja1693]

Brian Blessed made every average written HIGNFY twice as funny, every decent joke three times funnier and filled the inbetween with hilarious anecdotes, put downs and sometimes just by being Brian Blessed. My favourite episode by a mile.

It felt like Merton and Hislop were just there to watch him host and Alan Duncan was there to be the unlucky victim.

[ian4500able]

this always makes me cry with laughter. what a legend!

[jakamneziak]

I wonder if the chancellor will come out with that petrol can instead of a red briefcase?

[Madpossum]

Dear BBC,

Please make a HIGNFY episode hosted by Brian Blessed, with guest panelists Boris Johnson and David Mitchell. Ideally this episode should last for at least an hour, but health and safety estimates don't believe domestic televisions could cope with an hour's worth of that much awesome.

[Bondek1996]

Please bring Blessed back. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

[Misty33Blue]

One of the funniest episodes ever. Brian should be permanant host. Love him!

[MrTzimisces]

SOOOOO FUNNY!

[AaronHujibob]

Please show this episode again, PLEASE!!!!!!!

[eXPerienceyeah]

OMG he is brilliant!

[Kelismoviesmoothie]

Brian Blessed should host his own show :D pissed myself laughing at "Petrol! We're Running Out!" just his smile makes me smile :D

[Recraftguy]

SCRAMMMMMBLED

[charliegirl6]

one would need hearing aids after spending a full day with brian

[lilypie07]

when will bbc2 or Dave re show this episode?

[Frequency404]

Hmm.......I wonder what the world would be like if Stephen Fry were a werewolf........

[DrDannyMD]

I want Brian Blessed saying 'PETROL, WE'RE RUNNING OUT!!!!' as my text message tone!!!!!

[Everestlad]

I am Scottish, and found his jibe about the fiver in the fuel tank funny! God sake, can we not all laugh at ourselves once in a while?! Brian blessed, you have been a legend for years! May the laughter carry on!

[TheTomReid]

Brian is the perfect example of "if it's not funny, just say it louder"

[repd007]

In tune with Russel Howard's call for a Brian Blessed burglar alarm, the dislikees of this video can "FUCK OFF!!"

[pacmandem]

@repd007 *Dislikers. The dislikees of the video are those featured in it. Yes mate, this is the rise of the pedants :)

[TheBrett59]

PETROL!!!!!!!!

[RedSuperSonicNinja0]

@TheBrett59

WE'RE RUNNING OUT!!!

[TheBrett59]

@RedSuperSonicNinja0 STRIKE

[spikelane]

The man is a F**king star... Think that he should have done the voice of KITT in the Knight Rider film.

Also, I have always said, that if GOD had a voice, it would be his...

[MoralAtheistAreWin]

Quick glance at the beginning - thought it was Bill Clinton...

[huangweiyin]

I'd love it if my Brian Blessed sat nav would say "petrol! We're running out!" Whenever I needed to refill

[FRfunkman]

I'd luv 2 c Brian Blessed say that famous line from snakes on a plane

"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHER FXXKING SNAKES IN THIS MOTHER FXXKING PLANE!"

Can u imagine that, lol :D

[AHickenUK]

Next time Britain goes to war with someone, we should have Brian Blessed's war cry and an amazing speech when we hit the beaches.

[mikkyochimp]

@AHickenUK best war ever!

[Neutrinoghost]

We need to get him on QI, so Stephen Fry can show him his impression.

[LethalShiteee]

he's such a dear!

[nintendolad]

I want him to shout at me.

[futureblocker]

Looks more like he could scare motorists

[MikeHuntagape]

PETROL'S ALIVE?!

[kisbie]

Thanks to Brian, we finally know just how to read tabloid headlines. You can hear it now:

GOTCHA!!!!!!

UP YOURS DELORS!!!!!!

SUPER CALEY GO BALLISTIC - CELTIC ARE ATROCIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jplaffo]

NATIONAL TREASURE!

God bless Brian!

[HactarThe2nd]

"Newspapers have been doing their bit to calm motorists, with headlines like "PETROL: WE'RE RUNNING OUT!!""

[diggerydooboy]

It's the bit at the end what makes me laugh; "But I'm all right!" and holds up the can of petrol!

[StarSupernova]

When he's reading the headlines out, it's so funny.

[DavidUK84]

This is probably my all time fave episode of HIGNFY. Brian Blessed is a legend!
