A pleasure from the first Second to the very last - Peter at his personal best.

Timeless and enjoyable no matter how many times you view this show. Simply one of the funniest men ever.

Well, she's a rare beauty, with intelligence in her eyes and charm from head to foot. Thanks for the reply.

[verdiwag]

Love the Siegfried story - "Look solemn"

[ronasheton]

He had that rare gift of being hilarious but without losing one bit of dignity. I never looked at him as a clown even when he was doing visual humour.

agricola53....Many, many thanks. I think she's just a peach! Lovely, angelic face. Thank you for being thoughtful. Tom

[icarusdescending881]

Who is the woman sitting behind Ted Heath in the audience in this? Green and purple striped sweater -- she's the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen!!!

[agricola53]

@icarusdescending881 I think it's actress Jan Francis.

[topsyish]

@icarusdescending881 Her name is Jan Francis - an actress, not very well known as she is rarely seen on TV.

what year was this? The impression of a Bach Cantata was genius.

Great actor!

But putting Jesus in the same boat with Karl Marx is an UTTER false dichotomy.

[magiclemark]

Hi again. Why do Episodes 2, 3 and 5 not work. They only run for the first minute or so. Could you correct this, as I am dying to watch them. Thanks. Mark

[James13838]

Like I always say...Entertainers should not be allowed to comment on politics. They have no grasp of life for us NORMAL people that work for a living, and they constantly have little or no understanding of reality.

[jontycampbell]

@James13838 Nonsense, Ustinov was not a mere "Entertainer". He was a polymath.

[DumblyBrilliant]

Such a totally brilliant man and you have to wonder he did not seem to know that Ted Heath was in fact a traitor. Perhaps though, he did.

[DumblyBrilliant]

@WhereEaglesDareWWII Perhaps the fact that the Russians killed 70 million of their own people under Lenin and a few others is forgotten also. One thinks of the Estonian race who were starved to death on the whim of that maniac, for example.

Het is jammer dat deze grote acteur niet meer is,

[markyboybdi]

suggest people read The Gift Of Laughter by John Miller, a biography of the great man :)

[Brandtalones]

Wow! In my forties and all I got from Mr. Peter Ustinov up until now was an image of a large man in a toga.

Looks as though I'll have to re-visit this talented man's body of work... Thank you.

[icarusdescending881]

Thank you, Count! As a small boy on a mountain in Colorado I watched Peter Ustinov on Jack Paar and laughed until I was sick. Loved Krummnagle and everything else. Now I'm in my sixties and thanks to you, Sir, I am able to laugh with him again. A Genius and a truly good man! Thank you.

[nitramgnal]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this.

[theicyridge]

Was that Stephen Fry in the end credits?

[onecoldnightinwinter]

@theicyridge

It was indeed.

[peterkar]

Thank you for all these: a wonderful man, and certainly one of the funniest of the last century.
