  • Brilliant!Brilliant!. Telfer totally inhabits the character we all know and breathes such accurate life and warmth into the piece. Why isn't he in the West End???

  • Thanks for this and the other kind comments. I thought George was very good when I saw him for the first time last year in "Spears", which is why I suggested we shoot an excerpt for YouTube to get him in front of a bigger audience, and maybe get some more bookings for him and these plays.

  • Awesome. I see Sir Ian McKellen in your future...

  • Oh my! what fascination acts.

    Hehehe.

  • George Telfer is incredibly clever - Sir John...Prince Philip....what a gift !

  • The facial expressions are a brilliant,the pursed, vinegar mouth,etc, but the voice hasn´t got a hint of the timbre, and has a somewhat monotonous intonation. It is most irritating!

    Gielgud has a nancified voice, but not that monotonously nancified!

    It sounds like a bad impressionist!

    It sounds like Julie Walters doing Noel Coward!

  • This is great. Really moving and funny.

  • Oooh, an extraordinary performance, Telfer get all the "tics", the Gielgud manners, joly good.
