Vultan's Theme (attack of the hawk men)

Last night's "Have I got news for You?" (Hignfy) was hosted by Brian Blessed and it was a corker!

He played the whole show as if he was Prince Vultan from the film version of "Flash Gordon", including a very early joke about Gordon Brown's political career not being over which finished with Blessed shouting (and I mean shouting!) "Gordon's alive".

Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, the usual team captains, were completely thrown by his antics and spent the whole show either in hysterics or with a bemused look on their faces.

The whole episode is on the BBC iplayer or you can see out-takes here.
