Kingdom s1e1 part 1/5

[nakedmambo]

It's a very good series, but since Fry's celebrity status sky-rocketed it's hard to watch him as a character actor now. He's always 'that bloke from Q.I.', the guy from twitter..the famous mac user, etc. It seems like a long time ago that he was Jeeves or Oscar Wilde, or all the characters from ABOFAL. He's now like a Cary Grant, a John Wayne..he plays a version himself. Tony Slattery plays a more convincing role.

I once heard that watching Kingdom was like putting on a comfortable pair of slippers. And after finally watching it, I have to agree

[rileyandstella]

I love this show as much as I love Doc Martin and wish him and Martin Clunes could do another show together with Hugh Laurie well I can dream can't I?

[trixwiz7]

@rileyandstella Hahah they did one such show together. Some of the Jeeves & Wooster episodes that some kind soul has uploaded to YouTube already. In some such episodes, Jeeves is, of course, played by Stephen Fry. Bertie Wooster is played by Hugh Laurie. And Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps is played by Martin Clunes.

Happy hunting, if you haven't already seen them

[rileyandstella]

@trixwiz7 Yes I know that but now that they are older and more well known it would be fun to see a new show with them together. I know most of their fans would agree.

[trixwiz7]

@rileyandstella You have my agreement there

[cybogoblin]

@rileyandstella Martin did appear in a few episodes of Jeeves and Wooster, but that was 20 years ago.

[CQSupreme59]

Posted that too soon, also wanted to say thankyou so much @ivorykisses for posting these videos, I will be addicted to your channel for the forseeable future! :o)

[CQSupreme59]

I bloody love Stephen Fry, part of me still hopes that ITV will bring Kingdom back one day.

[EastendersBlog]

Why did they cancel this? It was bloody brilliant.

ITV give shows a chance for goodness sake. Bring this back, and cancel the waste of airtime Dancing on Ice, Biggest Loser and all the other tosh. I did all that without swearing.......(That's good for me)

[soundslave]

@EastendersBlog Making something with quality costs too much for ITV. Far cheaper to make another series of the XFactor or just show imported US trash.

[Orlabobz]

"you screamed?2

"I bellowed manly, you will know when I scream" hehe! you go Fry!

[ieanth]

can we get season 3 or 4 uploaded?

[Michaisi]

In the opening he wears a suit from the little clips between the sketches, on a bit of fry and laurie. The one that the passionate Englishman wore, if you know the clip...It's alarming that i noticed...xD

[Broadway3]

anyone know where i can find a recording of the opening song?

[MsHarry48]

Have jsut found this wonderful series, better late that never, it is being broadcast on italian tv, so is dubbed and loses alot.Its lovely to have a programme that has drama commedy and the wonderful views of Norfolk, and of course anything that Stephen Fry does can not be bad.

[coast2co]

What I like about British tv programs is that in the US we have to have sex and violence at all times. Everses the UK has some of it but there is more interesting story lines and plus they use the historical events of say WW II era to create a modern series. Great actors aand plots

[EenvoudigGek]

Plus when there is sex and violence, it (to me) feels more natural, because they don't have to censor it in the same way as they do in the US

[0scaru]

this show is amazing!

british television is definitely better than american shows, no questions asked.

can some1 refer me to similar shows?

[steenje]

@0scaru Check out Doc.Martin, even better in my opinion!

Very english, set in Cornwall with Martin Clunes.

Enjoy!!

[loquatiousbadger]

@steenje

Here Here! I love "Kingdom" but Doc Martin really is top notch. I've been going to Port Issac since I was tiny, so It was just lovely to see it as "Portwen".

[mauerbluemchen0]

Thanks for uploading. The series only began last night here in Australia and I rather stupidly fell asleep before it started!

[tomsam2323]

What a wonderful, humane, series! I wish it would go on for decades. So unlike the sensational TV all about crime, evil and bad stereotypes - on all American TV and films. Instead, Kingdom is about compassion, going the extra mile for other people, and helping people with their problems to make a better society - ideas that American TV would never, ever consider. Plus actors who can really act and have some range. Writing which is character driven. Fry and Co are a class act!

[alexandria2224]

"You screamed?"

"I bellowed manfully. You'll know when I scream."

LOL

[alexandria2224]

I just told someone at work - a customer about Stephen Fry's Kingdom and also his weight loss. It's inspiring I think. She is going to watch the show. She didn't know he did comedy with Hugh Laurie who is huge over here in USA as House.

[helen2333]

Great sunday night series.

[moogle301]

"never been alrighter" :P

[Switchback001]

I absolutely adore the opening theme music, it fits Stephen Fry so perfectly in my opinion. Wish ITV would elongate it and make it into an mp3. xD

I'd definitely listen to it all day.

[halligantj]

do you have series three?

[flupmakintosh]

the title series makes me wonder what he has on his Ipod

[jagdwurstmadl]

Probably Abba, Led Zeppelin and Wagner.

[alexandria2224]

USA here: I've been watching this series, not on TV, but on vids and I like it a lot.

[loserfreak92]

Oh My goodness, It's Tony Slatterly.

[pendices]

whats the name of the opening music?

[canoncrys]

The title of the shows on youtube are Kingdom; Behind the Scenes the one for the dog is 5/6, but you should really see all of them. They explain alot about the show.

[canoncrys]

Millie the dog is a Jack Russell Terrier. they tell us in the making of Kingdom here on YouTube.

[carolynolivia]

Thank you so very, very much for uploading these! I can't wait for series 3 (and series F of QI)! My grandmother's from King's Lynn and I've been to many of the places they film and it just warms my heart to see them again. I wish we could get this in the US. The opening music is great too!

[AnOldLeodensian]

That's such a nice comment :)

[slayerfromabove]

anybody has an idea what the name of the main theme is?

[mombirdsong]

Thank you, ivorykisses for giving us this wonderful series! You Tube is the only place I can see them so far. I hear they will be coming to PBS in the near future. A bit of trivia: I didn't know that Peter's aunt played by Phyllida Law, is Emma Thompson's mother.

[Octospherics]

Twinings, twinings...

[jmoulding2]

Hi beth, welcome to kingdom country lol

[lutarop]

can anyone tell me where i can find the subtitles or the transcripts of this show?

if you do know, plz, let me know. thanks in advance.

[carolynolivia]

email ITV, they should be able to tell you.

[phillipwebb]

ivorykisses, thank you so much for uploading this. i'm not able to otherwise watch this from where i'm from. thank you again.

[spindlescrafield]

i really like this, however, as its set in norfolk, and filmed in norfolk, why do the locals have a wierd "country" accent made up of west country, yorkshire and all sorts. it would be lovely if they had recreated the endearing "narfuk aaaxsunt"

[carolynolivia]

You're right, it is a mish mash of accents.

[Friedl123]

Good god, EVERY single thing Stephen Fry does is absolute brilliance.

[kinabaki]

Oh wow, thank you so much for uploading this show. I managed to catch a small portion of one episode and really liked it, sadly we don't get this show where I'm from.

Thank you so much! :D

[canonpowershotseries]

The theme music is gorgeous,but i cant find it.

I want to download it,but i dont find it.

Can somebody help me? Thank you! mates

[BloodBird1]

just find a clip if not this one that showcases the song, and go into start menu, programs, applications, entertainment, and use the sound recorder to record the song.

[canonpowershotseries]

thank you for your reply.

[MXDP]

Thank you thank you!

"Morning Jim!...Here you know everyone, everyone knows you!... John,sorry!"

:D

[TheOnlyLMV3]

Yay! Thanks for uploading this episode. Dear god Stephen is tall!

And Mr. Snell is so awesome :P I love Tony!

[EdwardianMaiden]

Mr Fry is 1m 98cm tall :)

[PheatherP]

Approximately. :P

[EdwardianMaiden]

Nooo. I know exactly! *throwing my chest with pride*. I myself was allowed to mesure him with a ruler...*sigh* Well,no. But it was written so on his official site! :PPP

[PheatherP]

That's pretty tall! He's 28cm taller than I am . . . . now I feel small and insignificant . . . . :(

[rstoneham77]

Thanks so much! I love Stephen Fry and we don't have this show in the states yet.

[ahar1982]

Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Thank you!!! A million kisses for ivorykisses!

[shellycoat]

The music in this series is just gorgeous

[studioworksplc]

The real Market Shipborough Is A Town Called Swaffham In Norfolk i Live about 20 Mins away in Thetford i have been up there when filming has been going on its quite funny seeing cars follow sign's of BEACH THIS WAY when there isn't a beach there at all most of the beach shots are filmed at Wells On Sea and Cromer & Yarmouth

[carolynolivia]

That's funny. Wells and Cromer and G. Yarmouth are so beautiful. I wish we had Walls icecream in the states - yummy - I first had Walls in Wells :-)
