Does anybody else find it sliiiightly strange/hilarious that Brian Blessed was chose as the host for Unbeatable Banzuke (at least in UK)?

Hey, it's Challenge, count on them to pick old British presenters/actors/whatever of moderate note. They struck gold with Stuart Hall for Ninja Warrior, and I like Craig Charles for Takeshi's Castle, but I just find Brian Blessed really annoying when he presents Banzuke.

Too true. I also agree that Hall and Charles were good choices. Blessed's voice just makes my head vibrate. Can you even imagine him trying to be quiet? Neither can I. His voice kills.

He's not great at narrating, really. He just seems to alter the volume of his voice at random.

he says a lot less than stuart hall but i quite like a lot of his sayings on banzuke. "you're toast" and just the ocassional crazy thing like "yo! bang my ollie!" made me laugh a lot. i think it works well for banzuke.

In those aspects, yes he works somewhat, but they could have made a better choice. What, you mean from loud to louder?  |

I like them both.
Banzuke Brian is just nuts and that fits the style of the Banzuke events.
Stuart Hall is more serious, but still funny. I love all his mispronunciations: "And I really like this next girl! I think she's just dynamite! I'm rooting for you Ayicko Mayocke!!"

He could at least make the effort to pronounce Japanese names properly though, especially since he isn't very good at using his inside voice!
