  • i like the one with david collins and colin lanes version better.

  • @CaballeroCatalan The Jon in Jon English doesn't have a "h" in it.

  • @eandcdad have a look at the jonathan miller trailer for ENO

  • I love this song! I love love love when Jon English enters and says "Here's a slippery slope." and then falls! I cracked up laughing! :)

  • i love how they bring in John for absolutely no reason :P

  • This may be Australians' idea of fun bit it's shameless to call it the "classic" Mikado.

  • My High School just did the Mikado and I can't say this rendition was better than ours. I don't like all the lines added in. Gilbert's original material is good as it is! :(

  • Gilbert & Sullivan operettas are alive and well today over 100 years ago when these classic stage works were first produced in the late 19th century/turn of the century. I love the Mikdado & it's nice to know it can still be sung in its original form but tweaked only a little for modern audiences. I like it when they reference to oldies like Staying Alive by the Beegees - or in the Kevin Kline/Linda Ronstadt Pirates of Penzance - Elvis Presley!

  • hi i am the little bro of ben who owns this acount and at school i am doing a play and it is this play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Well, this feels like a Mikado fanfiction with John English in the role of Mary Sue; I refuse to recognize this character as Pooh-Bah. Instead of removing the madrigal, they might have tried not dragging out a dumb pop-culture joke for ten minutes after every second line. I mean, just cutting the whole "buried alive" bit would've done -though that one was actually good- While they're at it, why don't they cut out "The Sun Who's Rays" and replace it with John English throwing pies at Ko-Ko.
