A music teacher in England wants to get kids interested in classical music, and has figured out that the best way to do that is have Brian Blessed and comedian Rory Bremner enact an audio play with a related tune in the background, in this case "Scheherazade" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Then he wants to turn it into a comic book, which presumably defeats the purpose of listening to the music, but anyway...Brian Blessed yelling about baboons and buttocks!
The Kickstarter is here. The video plea, complete with sound bytes of the former Hawkmen/Gungan leader in full blowhard mode, is after the jump.

I'm still disappointed he wasn't cast as Odin in the Thor movie. He woulda been perfect.

@thorshammer I will now be sad every time I think of that. Even just voicing would have been great.

@arivalscientist why do the Tomtom people think "roundabound" is funny? Everything in these little adverts they do is pretty funny except that, and they keep doing it.
Does make me want to replay Oblivion

Brian Blessed could shout the pages of the phone book and somehow make it sound awesome.

@Someguy Yes, I would like him narrate my life...I would also accept Morgan Freeman or Benedict Cumberbatch.
