Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, January 7th, 2012 2:02pm PST - promote requested by carneval.

Here's the sift where some Dutch guys made their own video testing this (it was also the winning submission in a Mythbuster contest)

I was thinking the same!

That just made me love Alan's hair even more.

Mythbusters pulled the phonebooks apart -- but they needed to rig them to two military tanks driving in opposite directions in order to do it. Stephen's right: it took close to 8000 pounds of force before they gave way.

Alan Davies' brain is more powerful than two tanks, or half a dozen dutch people and their jeep.

I CAN"T BELIEVE I JUST UPVOTED A VIDEO WHERE BRIAN BLESSED STAYS SILENT FOR THE WHOLE THING!!!

There's an episode of QI, where Stephen Fry gives a bunch of facts about Brian Blessed that I've been trying to find since it went out on TV, but remain unsuccessful. He is an extraordinary man.

Here's the text version of what you were looking for. Yes, quite amazing.

Thanks for that. It doesn't mention something they said in the episode about him having something like a 1000 living creatures in his ACTUAL HOUSE!

There's people in new york that have 1000s of living creatures in their beds...

I thought that was Orson Welles =)
