[llagin1234]

thank you bill bailey for putting the bits they cut out of the original version of this piece of music - uncut version

[llagin1234]

if ur gonna massacre classical music this is the only man capable of doing it and getting away with it using cockney music

[wembley05]

Absolutely brillliant! He has so much talent!

[20SpiderPig10]

'ave a banana!

[Kinlochbervie50]

the pearly king joke did not land AT ALL.

bloody audience.

[OldEarthChaos]

Comedian AND musician!!! Can you say DOUBLE THREAT!

[Nogsy77]

William Tell Overture is definitley better this way and always sing this way when other people are arund and it's on telly :)

[zalaisgurkis]

which DVD was it?

[Crackelatic]

You can't not smile when watching something like this. Brilliant!

[jimmyjam4371]

Priceless! Pure musical genius. Only in England can this happen.

[SayYouLikeCazz]

9 people's hand slipped when they went to press the like button

[SapphireM]

I love this. So glad to see it on here

[offspringmadboy]

This is absolutely fantastic. What a guy!!

[SirGinger18000]

got to love how the trolls hve to comment on how this isnt funny. if they had half the brain cells they were born with they might understand the pure genious they have just witnessed yet they still feel the need to show use that their life is pointless and boring oh the joy of being a retard if only there parents knew about condoms the rest of us wouldnt have to read their retarded comments nevermind life goes on

[darkcecee]

@SirGinger18000 even though I completely agree with you, i feel I have to add that trolls do live to show how pointless they are. This seems to be their only purpose. Just ignore them, they're not worth the energy!

[SirGinger18000]

@darkcecee yup but nothing better than trolling a troll they dont no what to do half the time :P

[epicpeakwar]

@joethegeek It's funny to us because we are English and this is English comedy.

[darkcecee]

@epicpeakwar oh well, i'm not English myself but I enjoyed every second of it :)

[epicpeakwar]

@darkcecee fair enough but the majority of people from overseas do find our comedy a bit boring

[darkcecee]

@epicpeakwar i'm afraid you're right :( I can't really understand why! Although I must add that I grew up watching Blackadder on French tv:)

[epicpeakwar]

@darkcecee Blackadder is another piece of pure genius along with dads army and only fools and horses. those three are probably the best things ive ever watched, i'd choose them over half the things nowadays any time :)

[wastagwaga]

OI!

[joethegeek1]

This is absolutely atrocious. How on earth is it funny?

[bewilderedkettle]

@joethegeek1 lol You're quite snobbish for a New Zealander.

[hornetgags]

@joethegeek1 Shhhhhhhh there's a good chap,

[llagin1234]

rossini missed a trick putting his william tell overture together any old iron and the playing the spoons

[llagin1234]

any old iron lol

[Dannywills666]

Loving the Wurzels riff about halfway throught he song pmsl

[Mittau]

I love how Bill is just overcome with glee at the start there, like he cant quite beleive he actually got an orchestra to do this.

[crapparc]

@Mittau Haha, yeah. "Hehehe, I still can't believe they gave me money to do this"

[lafazanio]

Simply brilliant and funny!

[TheJohn7528]

whats the music he plays at the start?

[nayajhen]

@TheJohn7528 Moonlight sonata with a cockney twist.

[TheJohn7528]

@nayajhen thank you very much :)

[Boogieforme]

Why did I not know Bill Bailey is so epic!

[SaitanMar]

Love how the orchestra is laughing.

[muhhest]

Ok, that's it. I'm buying this DVD. This clip is NOT ENOUGH FOR ME! Need moar Bill B!

[MrThisplaceisweird]

heh funny, amazing orchestra tho

[Heresathought]

You can tell how much the trombonists are loving it, while it pains the conductor so much to murder William Tell in such an awesome way.

[CheesyMacful]

Av a banana! I did a spit take

[duwudud]

7 people have been in Trombone related plane crashes.

[Yarxing]

this is so awesome, Bill is a genius.. I wished the dutch were that funny and creative.. :)

[HeavyMetalBlaster]

@Yarxing

Donders jong :P

[Deel2506]

First time music made me LOL!

[pplpilot]

we brits must be the Envy of the world with our humour and the comedians we have. Genius.

[PopulationcontrolNow]

We took out son to see this at the Albert hall for his 18th birthday.It was Fantastic.

Opened my eyes to the power and feeling of an orchestra in the flesh.

[GameOfYears]

What is played at 3:47?

[Tightropenet]

how do you dislike this, I mean HOW?

[7j8i9m]

Makes me proud to be a trombonist. Most brass only blow their instruments, we also jerk ours.

[icekold666]

magic



[Porrly]

Brilliant!

[DackxJaniels]

The trombone. The bringer of joy.

[14455danny]

lol



[Jeremythepolarbear]

Hahaha lol at 4:15 bill doing a weird cockney dance :)

[hardhand14]

Best version of William Tell I have ever heard, made me laugh like a loon after finishing a long night shift.

Thank you so much for posting it

[synthetikdemon]

is Bill Bailey the Bez of the BBC PO!

[rohan212121]

Fabulous. Thank you Mr Bailey for making me laugh so much. And I didnt have to pay for it. Ha hahahahahahaha.

[sprinter160bhp]

Nice one Mr. B . Just off to get a tissue & dry my eyes . A wonderful talent , please keep creating funny views of life

[misslolliopopable]

Aha look ;) excellent

[basherofnoggins]

This is now my ringtone. BEST RINGTONE EVER! =D

[philipbiro]

The sounds of these instruments are soo beautiful, much better than the crap we have in 2011

[DarkLard999]

thank you.. genius... OY

[jakamneziak]

i fancy a triple pie and mash! Bill is a musical tinker who is phenomenal at what he does. In an odd way he reminds me of a car restorer who goes his own way yet produces amazing results, sometimes better than the originals.

[superhamzah85]

Oh man, I've got Moonlight Sonata on my iPhone, everytime I listen to it now, I'm hearing a Cockney Intro in my head.

[crapparc]

Have a banana(8)

[mekaththeoneandonly]

Love it !

[TalesOfWar]

Triple Pie and Mash!

[yakanato]

Fucking amazing

All i can say about it

[reitheglo]

Oi !!! Ave a banana...

[IJdude1]

i was trying to think of a funny comment, but whatever... bill rules

[buddyfication]

have a baNANA! lol xD

[TheHellyeah001]

Well theres something I never thought I'd see... Bill Bailey brandishing a pair of spoons infront of the BBC orchestra playing a cockney rendition of William Tell. absolute genius!

[Seal00754]

Your having a George Raft..Bill

[Jennings03]

Sounds like a touch of vanity in your comment 'squirebrutus'. Try not to get your knickers-in-a-twist over my views but, rather, could you explain where the humour arises; maybe I missed some point.

[squirebrutus]

@Jennings03 Well, humour is subjective, I suppose. I would encourage others to read Jennings03's sniffy comments on other videos; they work particularly well if you imagine him with the voice of Ivor Cutler.

[RedHeadVicky]

Love his wink at 3.55

:D

[ReggieDawg6000]

i think people just dislike things for the sake of it! tutut

[LBCFCSS]

Remarkable 

[hornetgags]

Store Bill Bailey's DNA, future generations should be able to marvel at this man's genius.

[50N3RD0G4N]

Oud* not fucking ude -.-

[blue4u1873]

poor comedy that guy is not funny if that would been some other comedien this be lot more funnier hes rubbish

[RosieePosiee12]

[blenderpanzi]

Ah, the Wilhelm Tell Overture always reminds me of a good juicy Schnitzel. Proper Sundays music.

[WASPdaddy]

[DrSparticanium]

[random0runescape]

[CorporalCoward]

You know, I haven 't heard that Cockney Intro in Moonlit Sonat

[chinghue]

genius

[sandynathan]

i can jus imagine william tell absolutely pissing himself with laughter at this and thinking"now why didnt i think of that"!!!!!

[162sparky]

@sandynathan william tell didn't write the william tell overture... Rossini did. :)

[IXM360]

fantassstic ! :D

[ProudToBeNerdy]

God, if I was in the orchestra at the "have a banana" bit, I'd probably hurt someone with my trombone rolling around on the floor.

[RiderOfTheReaper]

HAVE A BANANA!!!! Pahahaahahahahaha!!!

[ThePlasticNev]

The two dislikes?

Mr Rossini himself perhaps? Would you like your favourite creation messed about like this?

the other was a cockney!!

Personally, I love it when anyone does something humorous with any music so one of the many likes comes from me.

[AnnaRoberts9]

"Have a banana!"

[Bonabopn]

It's not 'ude', it's 'oud' :c

[frpetermark]

Loverly me ol' darlin.

[SpreadDaFonk]

[propholian3]

@SpreadDaFonk Most likey a nutter with an orchestra XD

[metalmanky306]

that is just pure, epic WIN!!!!

[koraygur2]

who are those 2 little jackoffs who didn't like this video??!?

nazis with crossbows probably...

[marchovens]

i cant resist to ask myself why did he have 2 spoons with him?

[DEFGI]

@marchovens he was playing them

[marchovens]

@DEFGI i know what he did with them but why did he have them in his jacket

[monkeymatt2]

@marchovens so he could play them during the routine, he didn't just randomly have a couple of spoons in his jacket and thought 'I know, i'll play these spoons randomly'

[MrShandaar]

what two people dont like this!? They should be taken away and beaten to death with an ude!!!

[animegirls4evar]

thumbs up if you thought that particularly long sliding note from the trombones near the end was going to descend into that classic striptease music.

[grumpy1234lol]

this is genius, pure genius... never saw rossini's william tell in the same way again...

[peterstilliard]

I imagine this show to be all of bill's musical fantasies coming true

[orangeambience]

when was this?? and what was it for ? or was it just put on by bill bailey?

[ProudToBeNerdy]

billbailey242 - LEVEL UP

[FlopsyDiggins]

[DarthJedi2005remixes]

Anyone else think they were going to transition into "The Stripper" at 4:32?!

[grumpy1234lol]

@DarthJedi2005remixes yes... every time and it catches me out everytime..

[AntimonyKriyon]

1 person used the trombone as a snorkel wrong.

[barrychuckle1411]

Briiliant! Utterly brilliant!

[HOWZEY31]

Englands version of Andre Rieu

[chashimself]

@DoctorWhoMe The full version has more examples at the beginning including the Pearly King and 'Ave a Banana motifs.

[DoctorWhoMe]

I swear in this video its missing a bit

[DoctorWhoNotes1]

LOLOLOOL THAT IS SOOOO AWESOME!!! :D

[RandomNinjaOfEvil]

Genius.

[Fcastlepunisher]

[VamLoveAndKisses]

What really makes this perfect is Bill dancing around and conducting! XD

[finalfanatic54]

ah bill baileys remarkable guide to the orchestra!

[MattLoaf92]

Look at the grin on his face. You can really tell that he truly loves doing this sort of thing.

[crazygrainger2006]

You can make a drinking game out of this Bill Bailey show

[bassturne]

@crazygrainger2006 me and my mates do, when ever the audience laughs we take a shot. We have to stop about 30 mins in because of passing out :P

[SnakeOnAPlane]

The first time I watched this was on a flight to Los Angeles from Manchester. They edited the trombones-on-airplanes joke out.

[moviefact1]

@SnakeOnAPlane hahahah that's brilliant!

[MattLoaf92]

@SnakeOnAPlane Damn, would have been awesome to hear the cabin crews response to people asking about trombones. There's a new username for you, TrumbonesOnAPlane.

[lefredvoncarstein]

@MattLoaf92 oh that is IT! I have had just enough of motherfucking trombones on a motherfucking plane!!

[Nein1no]

@SnakeOnAPlane Reminds me of the movie Airplane! when the in-flight movie was a series of plane crashes. lol

[rachaelannedonnelly]

@SnakeOnAPlane What??? that's terrible
