Very clever way of teaching children about the letter whilst also bringing some humour into it to entertain their parents as well. Very well thought out and the way Patrick acts it out is hilarious. This was always one of the best programmes for early years education.
If B from Another Note likes this, does that N (Near from DeathNote) fanboys "D"(Ole yellow eyes) from TNG? i was wondering this on capslock<3...XD...yah know how he loves bots...and maybe even has centerfolds of Lal, 7of9, Sorayama's bots, DOLLS (from a manga), V-ger chic, etc, under his bed...XD
Whenever I see this man, I can only think of his appearance in 'Extras' where he has an obvious obsession for naked women.: all due to Ricky Gervais...
Captain Picard is a man of all centuries and many talents; it is an honor that he was able to participate in the forging of 20th century minds. Indeed, well performed, and yes, STANDING OVATION.
"this letterd got two bumps in front, and "bumps" indeed begins whit B" well i also got two bumps in front, and my bumps is also named boobs, so am I a B?
Early Sesame Street was so fantastic. I always thought of it as one of the most important things my kids did. And it was clips like this that made it so worthwhile to me.
Now its just Elmo nonsense with a lot of jumping and lively colors. While there is some learning going on in the program, i think it is less than before.
Holy crap, how OLD is this video? This is GREAT stuff! I wonder if even HE remembers this one. This would be great to snap up and surprise him with at one of his convention appearances.
Im from Orange and Fearne Cotton interviewed him for us on the Red Carpet, if you search for bafta 2009 patrick stewart interview with fearne cotton you'll find it!
... pure, sheer awesomeness. Hysterical. My only concern is, should he really be using a strong oath such as "Zounds" in front of the kids? Although admittedly, by the time they've looked up what it means they'll probably be old enough to use it.
Actually, he's saying "zounds" (pronounced zoonds, though). It's an old fashioned contraction for the words "God's wounds." It could probably be written as "z'ounds" as well.
I love Patrick Stewart - his US career has had so much "hell, sure I'll go there" stuff in it - I'd never seen this when it originally aired, it's darling.
Full of win!!!
