Brian Blessed's roar tests tunnel acoustics - BBC News

Actor and adventurer Brian Blessed started climbing in the Derbyshire Peak District as a small boy growing up in nearby Yorkshire. He returned to back a campaign to raise funds for the national park's trails built on former Victorian railway lines.
And he gave the BBC's Tom Ingall a lesson in voice projection to test the acoustic of one of the structures.

On the sad day Brian Blessed passes from this Earth, he will ascend to heaven. St. Peter will meet him at the gates and ask: "how did you like the choir on the way up?" Brian replies "There is room for improvement! It sounded very thin! The 10, 000 angels singing Soprano needs to be doubled and the angels singing Tenor need to be increased by 30, 000!" Peter asks "what about Bass? "Oh, I'll sing Bass!" says Brian.

Brian actually died six years ago, but the Grim Reaper's too nervous to confront him.
