Publisher's Summary:
Memoir from national treasure Brian Blessed. There is no one quite like Brian Blessed. He's an actor, film star, trained undertaker, unlikely diplomat, secret romantic, martial artist and mountaineer. He's also a brilliant storyteller who will - and you must brace yourself - simply leap out of the story at you.
Ready? Then listen to Absolute Pandemonium, and you'll be taken on a riotous journey from his childhood, growing up the son of a miner in Goldthorpe, to finding fame in Z-Cars. You'll see Brian falling for Katharine Hepburn on the set of The Trojan Women, suffering wires strapped round his wotsits as he was hoisted into the heavens on Flash Gordon, almost causing an international incident when meeting the Emperor and Empress of Japan, and winning round George Lucas to get the role of Boss Nass on Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Along the way he takes secret revenge on headmistress Mrs. Jarman and her very big bottom; punches Harold Pinter; loves and hates Peter O'Toole; woos his beautiful wife, Hildegard Neil; and braves the shocking death toll on cosy TV drama My Family and Other Animals.
Crammed with anecdotes from his illustrious career, this is a funny, warm-hearted, life-affirming, LOUD, and unique memoir from a much-loved figure.
Critic Reviews:
"After reading Blesseds just-published autobiography, Absolute Pandemonium, CW thought that all bets were off for the book of the decade." "Caitlin Morans Celebrity Watch." (Times2)
"The pages of Absolute Pandemonium reverberate with the sound of that inimitable voice and his appetite for life." (Andy Miller, S Magazine)

absorbing story narrated perfectly! it felt as if I were there in Brian's minds eye as he recounted events.
Yes Brian, You've Got That Right
This book is a hodge-podge of tales by the booming hulk of a teddy bear, Brian Blessed. Although I enjoyed the stories and Brian's amazing melodic narration, this book is a collection of stories rather than a comprehensive autobiography. I feel like the author holds back the more relevant facts that do not evoke interest of mythological proportion. A solid and entertaining book - but leaves me wanting more substance.
God's own narrator
Loved it.
