TREMENDOUS DING-DONGS
by Brian Blessed

Fans of actorly spats could scarcely be better advised to do worse than to pick up this 16-disc bounty box of big-bearded badinage. In this loudly conversational collection, Our Bri fondly recalls over fifty of his favourite arguments. Includes a dazzling dressing-down of Derek Jacobi when the stuttering actor questioned Blessed's pronunciation of 'Ptolomy', a heated exchange in a BBC lift with Jonathan Ross's children, and a drunken slanging match with a rock climber in English and Swahili.
