    I just saw Jeremy Paxman call him a **** on the tellybox.

    Some idiot booked him to host a black-tie event for farmers a few years back, somehow they got onto the subject of badger culling (which of course he is against), things got increasingly tense and ended with him yelling they were all **** and hoped they would die. Then stormed off. Brilliant 😂

    Why was that not videoed and on the internet! So much dross on YouTube, when we could have that to watch.

    Mate of mine Steve (you may remember him as “James Workshop”) did a play with him and some other actors (male and female).

    Brian and Steve were playing naked warrior dwarves (Steve is 6’4″, Brian is, well, Brian).

    I asked him how it went, “Well Brian was full method of course, brought his own sword and bollock naked. Seemed rude not to join in, he lent me a sword too”

    It was a radio play.

    I can totally hear Brian recanting that story years later.

    “… so I turned up stark bollock naked and this silly bugger took it seriously and joined in! Should’ve seen the daft bastard, waving a sword about on the radio!”

    Bloody hell @bunnyhop – please can you edit the title!

    @funkmaster I think he had a couple of attempts at Everest with HK/ Jagged Globe, apparently a competent mountaineer and very good company on the hill (as you would expect!)

    I could well believe he’d be great fun up in the high places of the world but I’d be worrying about avalanches the whole time! 🤣

    He’s someone I have a great respect for, especially after hearing him talk many years ago about how his love for the outdoors and animals helped him cope with mental health and alcohol problems (he said that the 60’s and 70’s were mostly a blur of booze, women and regrets) 💔

    In my head he is the voice of Mustrum Ridcully every time I read a Discworld book!

    BUUUUUUUURRRRRRSSSSSSSAAAAAARRRRRRR!!! 🤣🤣🤣

    I was quite touched to see the photo of Jim the Microsoft Paint artist (work featured above) meeting BB IRL the other day.

    Did I catch a thread in one of the BB conversations on radio2 that he’s working to get a ‘Lost World’ film project off the ground? No doubt with him in full on Professor Challenger role, not hard to imagine!

    Yeah, I saw that as well. Some lovely recursion on that.
