I served him in Ashford John Lewis around 4 years ago I think he was living in France or Belgium.
I loved his column in the Evening Standard and his Inside Victor Lewis Smith.
The gay daleks and White wee-wee being a favourite.
Also check out his hoax phone call to Princess Diana
Google it, as it may not be on Youtube

One of the biggest deaths of all time. Brace yourselves - Jean-Pierre Jabouille. He was the first winner for Renault in F1 at the French Grand Prix in 1979, and this was also the first win for a turbo car. That race has probably become more famous for the battle between Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux in the last couple of laps though. Race highlights are available here. The last bit of the race is here.

How did you deliver the line though? Was it in that shouty way people normally do Brian Blessed impressions, because that's wrong. In the actual film, when he says the line, it's probably the quietest Brian Blessed has ever been.
