Bill Bailey is yet another one of our "eccentric genius" national treasures. Really lovely guy too.

Bill is brilliant, his guide to the orchestra is genius You need, must, watch more of Bill Bailey

Bill Baily is a very light hearted comedian and musician. He can lift your spirit without you thinking he's trying to. Sometimes when you're feeling down you need a little subtlety.

The Bill Bailey at the Royal variety Performance was was brilliant

bill bailey is more than a comedian and musician. hes a genius and a very down to earth guy, you can tell he only realy does stuff because he enjoys it.

'Bill Bailey's message to Metallica' is great.

I am sure someone has possibly mentioned it below, but a little known fact is Bill Bailey is blessed with "absolute pitch" (also known as perfect pitch), i.e. he has the ability to identify or re-create a given musical note.

If you can find it, peak Bill Baily (for me) is his "Love song" taken from the "Part Troll" live show - the lyrics are a thing of hideous beauty!

Might I suggest you check out Bill Bailey Duelling Sitars it's a segment from a show where thanks to probably a computer He's playing the guitar but it sounds like a banjo, his opponents are an entire traditional Indian band with backing singers and the Sitar player is taking the part of the guitar musical hilarity ensues

Never mind the subject or segment, as a proud Brit, I cannot but salute you for the drinking of what appears to be alcoholic beverages with each show. Half way to being honorary Brits. Probably gets you almost instant citizenship, if you wanted it, and provided HM QE agrees. Best wishes to our Canadian cousins. Edit...perhaps not only alcoholic substances...

Well, the hunting with 'packs' of dogs is. 2 dogs max and you can still hunt and kill a fox. As a family when we lived on a big estate the man who came to clear up our rabbit infestations would just pop the foxes if any happened by during his night long vigils sitting behind his night sights.

It's semi illegal, not quite a full hardon but still able to impress the ladies...

There are no 'wrong' clips to watch of Bill Bailey :)

Bill actually plays multiple individual instruments...not just electronically. He is a great fan of Gerard Hoffnung. Hoffnung hasn't left behind any visuals of himself, but he put together cartoons to accompany his compositions and arrangements of the classics. He was also a great comedy story-teller. Check out his bricklayer's lament story, and the letter from a European hotel-keeper. Hilarious.

Hunting with Dogs was restricted in 2004, the Hunts ( groups of posh people with horses and dogs) still exist, but they're not supposed to be chasing and killing foxes anymore

Fox hunting was banned in 2004 in the majority of the UK, as it was deemed to be cruelty to the animals. I’ve just started watching your videos and love that you’re enjoying British humour ❤️. Keep up the good work x

Bill is comedy gold. I'd recommend -if you can find it - Cosmic Jam in which he does the Starsky & Hutch routine. He tells a wonderfully surreal joke about Three Men Go Into a Pub...but one of them is missing. Check out more of his stuff, he's brilliant.

Fox hunting being taught in schools on Wednesday afternoons is not true. It’s usually Friday afternoon with a PE teacher sewn into a Fox suit and sprayed with aniseed being released onto a sports field with a two minute head start.

Just for the avoidance of any doubt, we do in fact teach fox hunting in schools in the UK. I remember them well - I still have my GCSE level 3 in advanced fox hunting and tracking.

You guys were meant for each other 👍

A good start to get into Bill's mind, is his Downton Abbey Reggae Mix . . . However, I'll still add on here - Victoria Wood's "2 Soups" sketch for you to check out as well . . .

I think it's Billy Connolly who said, "Life is the longest thing you ever do." PS, no we don't get a double lesson of fox hunting. It's normally two standard lessons, throughout the week, lol!

Yes sadly we still have Tw@t’s on horseback hunting foxes but the in schools thing is a joke, although maybe at some of the “posh” private ones. Lol.

He is an accomplished musician who can play numerous instruments when someone asked him ''What do you play? I play the piano and that's how I learned about music. I then taught myself the guitar, drums, percussion and various other things, such as the bazooka, the mandolin, the Theremin, the alpine horn, the didgeridoo.''

Fox hunting is banned, but only fairly recently! The hunt just follows a sweaty sock trail now!!

Please watch more bill bailey? His live stuff is amazing. Fox hunting is mostly banned but I think it still goes on.... in order to control the species...

Fox hunting per se is illegal in the UK,. But it's a bit complicated. As a general rule you can't hunt with a pack of dogs. Glad you both enjoyed Bill's different style, he is a bit of a genius.

Try Bill's starsky and hutch clip. Absolutely hilarious 😂

Greetings from over the pond ! For some more comedy musical stuff to check out I highly recommend Tim Minchin. A musical and comedic genius. It will bring in loads of new views Australians too !. Glass raised blunt rolled you wont regret it guys

Check out his Tribute to Adele. Hilarious. I like you guys and your reactions.

My home town of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire is still known as a fox hunting area. It happens occasionally but is not really enjoyed by the normal people but by the gentry.

Just for clarity, fox hunting is not taught in schools in the UK 😁👍🏽

I drunk and drunk until I'm drink

loads of better BB clips out there - try Downton Abbey Dub Reggae mix! for starters

I’m from Uk still fox hunts going on today usually Boxing Day

Fox hunting isn't taught in schools! The hound led hunt was banned in 2002 in Scotland and 2005 in England. Check out Bill Bailey doing Metallica's Enter Sandman on the horns, he's an amazing musician x

Yeah youre right you should check out more. Hes got better ones

I forget if they banned it or not, I think they were trying to, but fox hunting was probably still a thing at least as recently as the 1990s... I remember people talking about it on the news a bunch, when I was a child... Mostly a rural and possibly more upper class pastime... Although there might be commoners involved in looking after and training the dogs, amongst other things... I think there was an industry around it, to some extent... Ah well... It's funny how some things lasted until fairly recently or maybe still continue, while you'd think that they were some sort of archaic practice... Like you'd think that something like apartheid in south Africa would have ended in the 70s at latest, but it actually lasted until the early 1990s...

Try Bill Bailey's...Love Song...its not very long but itz hilarious

There are schools that have their own Beagle Packs for Beag-ling which involves the pack hunting an artificial scent and participants follow on foot, not on horse back. To my kowledge there are no schools that participate in Foxhunting or keep Foxhounds to hunt on horseback, again in GB hunting an artificial scent.

"Wednesday afternoon, double fox hunting." " Is that true?" I love you Canadians but at times you do turn into Americans. 🤣

fox hunting was banned in 1997

Bill Bailey is great! Check out all songs sound better as heavy metal and hilarious letters from the AA.

haha no, we do not teach fox hunting in the UK

'drum and bush' was good, but i would love to see what he does with trump lol

Since the ban, in theory hunts are supposed follow scent trails although every so often there is an incident What did you do to have them demand you back, I hope it wasn't serious

The questions such as "Are you a member of a terrorist organisation?" aren't as stupid as they seem. They are designed to give leverage. If a person is proven to be a member of a terrorist organisation after saying they are not, it makes their entry visa nul and void, and they lose all rights because they've entered the country illegally. This means that possibly they can be held indefinitely be law enforcement groups without being charged. So there is method in the apparent madness.

Yep you called it, this isn't his best one 😅

Lol.. no it's not taught in schools.. he was being sarcastic lol x

Why is your ring on right hand side? Educate me about anybody

fox huntning was outlawed in the last 20 years... bloody disgrace in fairness
