Yeoman Warden At Tower Of London, Part II Of Four

[MustangBazza]

Brilliant,, I haven't been to the tower of London for 30 years, this guy has made me want to visit this historical land mark once again. I hope we get Bill as our tour guide

[iHeatherHeathbar]

my god, this guys rude. you RESPECT the elderly -.- lol good tour guide but nasty attitude

[1cheescake]

@iHeatherHeathbar its part of the act, Ive met him and hes not rude

[marcohorowitz8]

how tall is he? anyone knows his height??

[Badsellcut]

This guy has really nailed his spiel.. it may change from tour to tour slightly but credit to him for putting a lot of thought into what he is telling people and how he delivers it. Bravo!!

[k2ndr]

Bill is IRISH not English a friend of mine and continues to serve Great Britain in a great role

[MsLivilla]

He's adorable!

I wonder if he's married?

[j4416m]

it's his act, it's not him being racist or insulting that's what he's told to do haha great entertainer

[danlynch8282]

Hysterical. Love the fact he plays on our nations friendly rivalry and our stereotype of them. Brilliant. And how anyone can say he's racist? There's no racism in sight there! People who scream or play the racist card at any or every oppurtunity, are no better than racists themselves. They do nothing to help stamping out racism. Also, London is one of the best cities in the world.

[Stubby24525921]

Racist English Bastard!!!!

[MrTubbymarshall]

@Stubby24525921 you narrow necked fool. where is there Racism here?? go and troll somewhere else.

[TheT33g]

@Stubby24525921 he's irish m8 not english

[ClusterPhoqe]

Throwing unwanted children

[minidave54]

fantastic entertainer no doubt the pc brigade have had him banned for being racist

[benny1473]

this is total bullshit,,, some asshole who has never had a real job, thinks hes great and lives in one of the worst citys in the world

[qwerty00101]

showing your ignorance mate. 20 years service in the military sounds like a real job to me. whats your job then? have you fought for your country? been in the military 2oyrs? american perhaps? jog on fucktard.

[RidseardMacCoinnich]

@benny1473 . Benny is a pseudonym for a retard (dumbfuck) Anyone who watched or remembers "Crossroads" will know.

[xugb42]

Excellent! Far superior to the foul mouthed 'comedians' we get on the TV these days.

[Darthbelal]

I wonder if Mel Gibson will EVER go to the Tower of London......

[dwmad94]

"You want men in skirts... Scotland." Hahaha classic! It's his deadpan expression that's the best!

[erikas3d]

oh i bought myself a nice t-shirt with beefeater :))) e-mao.spreadshirt.co.uk/beefea­ter-A18519665/customize/color/­70

[Mantakev]

He is fantastic, he should be on stage ;-)

[jec0066]

Note from the videographer: I have tried to contact Bill to tell him that I have a present for him, but I have had no luck. If any of you know him, please tell him to email me at jeclark0066@gmail.com.

I'm coming to London in December and want to speak with him!

[nellymart1974]

Hi Jerry. I am Bill Callaghan's agent for his after dinner speaking. You can email me at live@nmp.co.uk and I will gladly forward on to Bill. Many thanks! Neil Martin (NMP Live Ltd).

[Kevelaerpolizei]

@jec0066 you can contact him through the tower of london directly. just write to them and they will put you in touch :)

[redelbmek]

brilliant

[jec0066]

Well, Michael, there may be a few folks who don't like being insulted. Some folks can't enjoy laughing at themselves! I could hardly hold the camera still when I made these videos. Bill was making us all laugh so hard and so consistently that my giggling made me jiggle the camera.

[tommyrockon]

How can anybody NOT like this..... brilliant, if only Michael Macintyre was as funny!

[MsMaerla]

...Bill is the best .....

[TodayFreedom]

As a Londoner born and bred, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this at all but I absolutely loved it. Haven't been to the Tower since I was a child and this brought back so many happy memories. I'm going to go again now!

[Sesquipedaliantique]

HAhah that woman at the end was great "I can't wait til he gets to the Americans" :D Funny guy, I wish he'd been around when I was going to the tower on school trips.

[GCmediacourse]

I met this guy and he said that he knows about this Youtube Video and in how popular it is.

[vagabond324]

OMG: what a great story teller, I could listen to him all day. I just hope the Royal Marines don't watch this any time soon.

[m0mcx]

Great camera - and superb audio too!

[Mornie21]

What a brilliant and amazing speaker! I'm planning a trip to London and a visit to the tower is on my list. Love these stories!

[jonathanchapman1954]

whats his name???? I want to go on a tour with him!

[parisoncourt]

@jonathanchapman1954

Bill Callaghan

[infinity09x]

i <3 this guy

best tour guide ever

[MrRobbo53]

Funny Man, he would make a good comedian

[Moggy164]

Brilliant , Love it .

[michaeljj64]

What a brilliant guide. Top job enjoyed every minute and learned a little history I was unaware of.

[spassfield]

Love it! Makes an Aussie laugh a lot.

[XSIGPIG]

"SENNA-SATIONAL" I have been crapping myself with the stock market dramas watching my super get shot to pieces and this bloke just cheered me up.

He would make a good new C.C.P here in Victoria Australia if he was interested.

[corevitalityyoga]

Love him !! Plain talking, we need more of him.

[elksky]

This man should be on TV. He's utterly brilliant! What a wonderful way to learn history.

[Jindypops]

Classic

[nellymart1974]

Following numerous suggestions and postings on YouTube, you can book Yeoman Warder Bill Callaghan for After Dinner Speaking engagements, he's signed up to NMP Live speaker bureau. Google 'NMP Live' and search the website for 'Beefeater'.

[rtilling]

He's a legend! Love the English sense of humour

[Karl0010]

I think this guy could best be described as "a national treasure"

There have now been 19 gormless twats vote this video down. They should be hunted down and given the same treatment as Sir William Wallace.

[xjrman270]

@Karl0010 They will be the 19 gormless twats with no lives who spend their entire time watching programmes, adverts,etc. etc. etc hoping to get a chance to complain. They will be on every sort of commitee going, in their home towns, and every sort of position of minor authority where they can get a chance of being heard.

[SrADave]

I dont know how people could dislike this video.. they mustve been Italian or French HAHA!

[osprey60]

This guy is hilarious and tells it like it should. He kept everyone amused and well informed and everyone was paying attention to him. We need more like him. He's a star!

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

This guy is a star!!! - pure genius. 18 people are wrong!!!

[takerdust]

he could play a warden in a movie

[megan93511]

Brilliant. legend. iv been on tours that you fall asleep in. i want to go see this tour now. such a good sense of humor.

[shadowdude2009]

and the relevence is.... little american idiot lol

[nettoblaster]

@roquefort88888 get a life!

[DVDMARM]

Utterly brilliant. A real breath of fresh air in this ridiculous so called pc, humourless environment in which we now live. People who are offended by this really need to get a life.

[richie11ization]

I am so proud to be a Londoner, What a funny man

[dave2806]

pure class . keep it up , pc crap drives me insane !

[marksmallwood192]

@roquefort88888 why are you trying to imply he is racist? Thats totally uncalled for

[MrSwifts31]

GCmediacourse I am NONE of these! Gay Scottish French Communist Socailist Politcal corretness person Feminist Sad and yet I still find him crass,stupid and offensive. I wonder why. This question is rhetorical and therefore does not require an answer.

[sueharristication]

@MrSwifts31 - you may not be "Gay Scottish French Communist Socailist Politcal corretness person Feminist Sad" as you put it (though I doubt it seeing as those are the only people I can imagine having a problem with him). However - assuming you're not a liar( how unusual on youtube!) - you do seem to be the one thing you missed out. A moron.

[MrSwifts31]

What a prat!

Just WHO appointed him as a Beefeater?

He needs some public relations training.

This is NOT funny,despite all those idiots who are going to post that it IS.

The only thing about him that IS scary is his thoughts and the fact that they are about 100 years out of date.

[peterdcarter1]

@MrSwifts31 Maybe you should do his job I'm sure people would find you very amusing!

[tombalabombification]

@MrSwifts31

Lighten up...

[TheBrataccas]

im scottish and this video is class

[GCmediacourse]

If you dislike this you must be out of these

Gay

Scottish

French

Communist

Socailist

Politcal corretness person

Feminist

Sad

[morrossey]

its funny AND educational

wow. :D

[TheHappyMatty]

18 people are scottish!

[AndyScott1994]

@TheHappyMatty

You sir are a cunt!

[arillas57]

hilarious

[stbricesday]

Wow, brilliant! The man should be on telly! We want to go now, but we must have this beefeater as the guide!

[dezdetin]

Pretty harmless jibber jabber I would say. Only problem is once he knows he is in the limelight there is the tendency to just carry on and before you know it he will be touching on the more sensitive things.

[TheWeepingCorpse]

All PC supporters, feminists and labour voters should be sent to the tower.

[kingda117]

Nice one. Reminds me of Al Murray - The Pub landlord.

[grumbler1]

screw all that pc bullshit. the guy is hilarious ! should do stand-up comedy ))

[killteddy]

non PC don't care. Wish that I'd been there - don't change a word

[stefan3324]

A wonderfully intelligent man telling history in his own, unpolitical correct way. Well done!!!

Don't change a single thing. This chap makes a Londoner like myself, actually want to visit the Tower of London.

[wiffybiffy]

This man is cool

[kickycrowbar]

This fella is hilarious

[gantondale]

Had me in stitches. I'll have to make a trip to London to see him.Keep up the great work. Brilliant!!!

[Insperato62]

ViDeOMaStErPaUl - bit strong, but correct! Best thing to do is boycot the sad man's films.I do know a couple of intelligent Scots (now come on, there are plenty) who admitted to being embarrassed by 'Braveheart'.Not the wisest move to ally with France.France didn't like the Scots, she loathed the English - big difference.She felt the same about the Irish. In these battered islands it would be great if we could start to get on.Anglo-Irish Bill is & men like him are just the guys to help us along.

[Sabatinitennis]

This man should be knighted! A perfect anecdote to the political correctness imposed on us by Labour.

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

I love how he pointed out mel gibbsons Anglophobia he makes good films but hes a racist woman beating prick.

[sueharristication]

@ViDeOMaStErPaUl - Mel Gibson not only suffers from Anglophobia and is a "racist, woman beating prick", he is also an anti-semite. What a charming character. Makes you sort of proud that he's an Anglophobe. After all, who would want that moron liking you? :0) .

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

@sueharristication Thata a vary good point.

Im also suprised im in the top comments to haha.

[popitinpete]

...Midlands accent I'd say...(but that IS the North to Estuary folk)

[GCmediacourse]

@kenhol44 I agree with you completely Screw you to anybody who hates this

[grafwee]

this guy should be on Britain got talent.......fantastic very funny

[NearAbbeyRoad]

@brocher1946

He may be of Irish extraction,. His accent is Northern English with no trace of Irish.

[escormillos]

Brilliant



[trevor311264]

@kenhol44

"A Francophile (or Gallophile) is a person who has a strong positive predisposition or interest toward the government, culture, history, or people of France."

I suggest you find out what you are writing means BEFORE you write it.

[thebootcampbabe]

this guy is the BEST of British humour!! LOVED it and his history is GREAT!!

[Insperato62]

@xiXHARDDRUMERXix - hopefully you're joking about "oldies" complaining, if not, you're an offensive little git.I'm in my 60s & laughed like a drain - despite being female & my dad RAF.All those comments saying he can't be Irish - he can certainly be of Irish extraction esp as he comes from that particular area of Manchester.Listen carefully, that accent is not Southeast, there is definitely Northern inflections though softened by years living south.The Irish take the piss just right :)

[NearAbbeyRoad]

@Insperato62

His accent is Northern English.

[GCmediacourse]

Proper British Pub Humour. Good Job.

[RadekBoktor]

06:09 Awesome scot accent!

[plasticadam]

Sweet dreams kids! Brilliant. How to bring history to life and give the listeners some facts they will always remember

[DunnersMagrew]

What a legend! Bet the americans didn't know what to think of him :P

[RetreatingBlade]

Well done Mr Callaghan.

[TheMERLIN999]

Dam! I missed being his 1M hit !!

Well done Sgt. Bill!

[GTFOK]

:o I had this guy when I went on my tour at the tower of London :D very very funny

[luscomator]

Very amusing, this warder.

[cultmiester]

to the 17 people who disliked this video: i pity you. this is the sort of humour that actually requires you to understand how something's being said and the context and the meaning behind what's being said, rather than just what's being said. if you people are too dumb to realise that this guy is joking, then that's not his problem, it's yours.

[skankinwear]

Great !!!!!very Basil Fawlty

[iAsian92]

Right at the ending, he gives a warm smile to the camera. He really is a nice guy, despite his satiric speech :)

[cupcakebunny24]

haha still laughin poor kids lol he's soo funny!!!

[whatevererer100]

Sorry I am lost on why this is funny..maybe its funny to those who like abusing old people etc..this guys a prick a drunk twat.what is so funny??.This age of taking the piss out of those that cant fight back.This guys pissed coz he has to walk round with a fking skirt on and dressed up like a victorian tranny. I fail to see the humour here and I have a good sense of humour. Pitty for the people who like thisHope this guy has a freak flying accident.from the 50th floor of sky scraper.

[RoyalWeddingRing]

To our future King and Queen - God bless you both! May you have many beautiful children!

[RetreatingBlade]

They've never forgiven us for Agincourt. Another blank page in the history book!

[Lynviking]

@kenhol44

Now, why doesn't that surprise me? lol

[Lynviking]

@kenhol44

The Yeoman is a Francophile? How so? He only mentioned them once.

[jbss7382]

Fantastic! You can take the man out of the Army; but you can never take his humour!!

The truly best of Btitish.

[TheOmerGiramondo]

The bloke's a twat

[Lynviking]

@TheOmerGiramondo

Then he must remind you of your mum, huh?

[HRDhollik20]

This guy is fantastic . . . I'm going soon and hope to catch him 'live' . . .

[Planehazza]

Sweet dreams kids! Genius!

[topsailjon]

This man makes history come alive in such a wonderful way. I could listen to him for hours and have done so today watching all four of his episodes on youtube. I agree that he deserves another medal for services to tourism and entertainment. Long may he continue.

[Edazza]

If all tour guides where like this holidays would be so much more worth it. Why the management should complain is beyond me but I guess that`s why this country is no longer such a nice place to live. Good luck to Bill and keep up the brilliant work hope to see you at the tower soon.

[ridcully1970]

why is this guy not an internet sensation?

when i'm next in london , i will be going to see this guys tour!

[hunteran]

Wow, this awesome, funny and very informative. Bill, you're a scholar and a gentleman (and you have a damn fine sense of humor). Thanks for the laugh, the knowledge, and your military service.

Sincerely,

A funny speaking cousin from across the pond...

[pdfp24]

Genius.

[paganklh1]

he is wonderful and needs his own television show!!

[Thatotherjim]

Superb - a compelling history lesson. Arguably some of the best 12+ minutes of work time I've ever wasted. @Your Highness, that man deserves another medal!

[jonty0267]

Wish I'd have known about him when I visited the Tower in Feb of this year! Brilliant!

[dcv1894]

Not a lot of people know this but Bill has been told off by management of the Tower for his off beat style ! He is seen here at his best, if you like his style drop him a line at the Tower and let him know.

[Windowswatcher]

Thank you for posting this and the others in the series.... educational, entertaining and thoroughly brilliant! I hope that this bloke is seen by many, via your video, and then goes to hear him at the Tower. MINT!

[wonderbrawl]

Because this is on Youtube, people like me are thinking "you know what? I'm going to go on one of these tours next time I visit London" Excellent stuff!

[pars2397]

I too am an Ex-RA Warrant Officer. (26yrs) This chap is simply Brilliant, I wonder if anyone out there remembers Cedric Ramshaw an Ex RSM of 25 Fld Regt RA, 1965, he too was exceptional and served many years at the Tower. Of course stories are past down but generally the individual is a unique specimen who has gained his wit and understanding from years coping with the unusual at Regimental level. Oh! You want to check the wives out sometime!

23978685

[ruggbutt]

I could listen to that man talk all day. He made education fun for that group, it's likely they'll never forget him. And with good reason.

[pfiddle]

I cried laughing - very funny. Excellent balanced history lesson. Well done sit.

Now to find a broom to place by my bed tonight!!

[googleisshittoss]

If only my History Teacher had been that good!...i've learnt more in 12 minutes listening to this, than I did in 10 bloody years at school!!!....brilliant

[mrgodders]

Awesome

[woolythebear]

Love the bit about the French history book! Excellent wit!!

[23109460]

Keep up the good work young man-& yes 2years NS Royal Signals +4 years TA RA then 24 years RA regular then 6 years Duke of Ed- then Staff QM Western Wessex 10 years - I know my army & only sorry I didnt get to serve in the same unit as you Regards RG

[jec0066]

Bill is a neat fellow...and he may not remember me, the videographer.

When next in London, probably December of 2011, I may see if he's changed his lines a bit.

[SevernStokePolice]

@jec0066

...and his beard!  Haha!

[valczerny]

@jec0066

Excellant, Well done and thanks for putting it on youtube for our entertainment. History has never been more fun !!

[eileenmurphytherapy]

Now that's a history teacher! Congratulations to the officials at the Tower of London for letting him be. Booking my ticket asap!

[mamuchiibiza]

I loved this, so refreshing to see someone these days who isnt afraid to make jokes without worrying about being Politcally Correct. Also a great way to teach history and make it memorable. I have recomended these videos to all my friends and family, thank you

[ErrolWhitedawg]

Hilarious stuff.

[markie1r]

Love it. Makes me proud to be British!

[heightsgreen]

This guy is absolutely brilliant, strength of character, sense of humour and great humanity.

[IFoughtTheLaw100]

Genius. Watch all 4 Video's

[mickleem]

This guy is a great advert for the Tower of London!! He is fantastic.. I'm going to see him!! I hope he is the one who does the tour!!

[mussie302]

I love it! This guy is fantastic. How refreshing to hear some digs at a few nationalities for a laugh, just like we used to do. It's only in fun, and not malicious. It's a sad world now where we can't laugh at each other and with each other any more without everyone being offended. This man winds the clock back. What a great character!

[comedychuckle]

Sgt Major.. should be nominated for a knighthood...one for his service to queen and country and another for making many people have such an enjoyable tour that those people will spread the good word about this man which will encourage more visits..

The best humour is the ones with tongue in cheek...

[gts3468]

Brilliant !

[old45marine]

Very good Sir

As for the Royal Marines holding hands .....That's only on ceremonial duties LOL

[DonDavisUK]

I'm a Scot, but he's got an amazing sense of humour. Thanks for sharing.

He should be a stand-up Commedian.

[acherrypicker]

The guy is brilliant, what a sense of humour! I would love to see the guy doing one of his talks.

[valrose11]

Brilliant... I hope he's doing the tour when I visit in July.....

I'd be the elderly lady limping to catch up!!!!!!!!!!!

[197Bruce]

God, this is funny! Thank god for Tena Lady!

[dowukrucker]

he is a classic, wish i served with him. or maybe not.

[anjasgoldie]

I love this!!! That guy is just brilliant!! Thanks for sharing it.

[cupoftea75]

Fantastic... I would go on this tour just for the entertainment. And, thank you for your military service...that is why I am free today in my country ;-)

[torrnikkay]

what a performance!

[TheManOnTheLongRoad]

Amazing!!! So funny

[CowsAndCrows]

this guy is brilliant! he doesn't hold back and I am glad he is one of the few who avoids 'taboo' jokes in case they offend! loving them all!

[kingbleah]

typical sgt major

[Soulshroude]

Most excellent narration... love this guy.

[ChristianBrinsxox]

I'm a teenager and afraid to go to bed after that bit about bad men :(

[becci27]

He's hilarious! What a great bloke.

[EyeHawk777]

He would be such a great history teacher.

[briandb1222]

I'm American and I found this quite funny. I don't know why others are complaining.
