I adore Sanjeev Bhaskar OBE (hmm, his name is not unlike that of a friend, whose origins are very different to Sanjeev's). Sanjeev first came to my notice in the tv show, The Kumars at No. 42. He is one of the funniest comedians in Britain, can perform serious tv acting with aplomb, is an author along with being Chancellor of the University of Sussex. If it is like here, it is actually the Vice Chancellor who does all the public speaking and the hard work, rather than the chancellor. It seems he can do anything in the performing arts, front of stage and behind the scenes.
He is made up to look older in this clip. A little elephant knowledge will help you get the last line.
That is too funny!
ReplyDeleteJackie, I thought so.

DeleteI saw him play a serious role in a Police drama mini series recently and he was excellent confirming your assessment of his versatility.
ReplyDeleteVictor, I saw that show just the other day, I think on daytime tv, so a repeat.
DeletePrince Charles smaller ears haha! Made me laugh Andrew 😀
ReplyDeleteGrace, while not a punchline really, it was a good ending.
DeleteThat's a funny clip Andrew. I had no idea this actor was so accomplish outside of acting.
ReplyDeleteSami, he is indeed a very clever bloke.
