On the final morning of their trip, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon visit the ruins of Bolton Abbey.

Rob recites Wordsworth's famous poem to his appreciative audience of one, but Steve questions the validity of Sir Ian McKellen as Rob's voice of choice.

  • Not even close to Ian Mckellen's voice.

  • The rapport between these two is fantastic! I'd love to see this on BBC America!

  • I liked Bolton Abbey before you liked Bolton Abbey :')

  • Not too shabby an impression of Mckellen, at least in his younger days.

  • @TheRiversDark You're fucking stupid.

  • sounded nothing like him. funny show though

  • Not even vaguely similar to Ian McKellan!

  • @ciroalb3 This is the result of growing up in one of those adorable little countries. Americans could easily learn about Gene Hoffman's boyhood, we've just got bigger fish to fry.

  • @davyjames I like the Ducktales one better. :)

  • @blenderpanzi or "Ian Mckellen Fresh Prince" for an astonishingly good one

  • Search for "Ian McKellen Ducktales" to hear a really good Ian McKellen impression! Sorry Rob, but you got nothing on that guy. Then again, Ian McKellen seems to be the only voice he can do.

  • two things strike me: 1) they know these somewhat obscure poems and value their public recitation (good schools) 2) they know the background of other actors like McKellen. Few Americans would know or care where Gere, Hoffman or other actors came from, and it would have little meaning to the audience.
