Fantastic. My sister who is a trained actress met Kenneth Branagh and said he is the sweetest most down to earth guy, devoid of any airs and graces, totally humble and chatty...just as he is here...she liked him immesnsely. Two good guys here...no question.

One of our greatest living actors, also nice to see Ken Branagh too. x

I always though old Kenneth was a bit pompous but bugger me he's actually a thoroughly decent chap and comes across very well , I owe you an apology Mr Brannagh , this is the beauty of these longer format interviews , can we have David Mitchell next ?

I love these videos, so different from talk show interviews. It's more like I'm sitting at the table next to 2 friends catching up and reliving great memories.

The greatest living Shakespeare actor. A man of profound, faustian talent; deep emotional depths. And such a cute smile.

Sometimes it's easy with "chuckles" to forget how supremely accomplished he is mostly due to him seeming so grounded and approachable.

This was a wonderful interview! Rob, you are a brilliant interviewer. You bring out stories from your guests that they have never or rarely shared before. Thank you for doing this.

A down to earth knight if ever there were one.

Wonderful Kenneth Branagh -- I so enjoyed this! As an actor myself, it's fabulous to hear actors talking about the craft, especially when all our theatres and pubs are closed, so there's no gathering at the pub afterwards to discuss everything that went wrong in the show. I was wondering which farce they were talking about, and will have to look it up. Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to live without "ROB BRYDON" if this comes to an end at the end of COVID! Please don't let it come to an end...

Branagh was filming in Merthyr- maybe 98. The theory of flight, very good film. He filmed some scenes in Cyfartha park. Thing is, I was playing tennis in the background (never spoke to crew). So is that me playing tennis, or is that me playing a character who is playing tennis in the world if the film. So, did I cease to exist whist filmed and become a chsracter? And can I now create a character name retrospectively?

I was there that day. Sitting on the benches in the terrace. He walked past me and smiled. I was not expecting the man to be there. I had seen him and Emma Thompson in look back in anger at the lyric theatre in about 87 or 88. Both brilliant. They got married the day after. By this point he was Helena BC. Who also walked past me that day. Almost fell of my bench. The Theory of Flight. Rubbish film but what a day that was at my old school taking in the sunshine. June 1998 I think.
