One of G&S's very BEST songs, in my humble opinion. Shame about the poor filming. Oh well.

[SuryakantSmall]

Crummy little CVS digital pocket camera.

[showhiminbailey]

Badly filmed

[SuryakantSmall]

Yes, it was filmed on one of those pocket-size recyclable digital video cameras sold at CVS.

The word prestige is French!

[ColtHz]

Very musical. Shame the time for all this wonderful nonsense has come to a close (end of the rule of Western Civilization as the great force in history)

Iolanthe is probably my second favorite G&S operetta (just narrowly after The Mikado). I'm always happy to see it, even if it is filmed with a cheap CVS camera. Thanks for posting.
