Brian Blessed pick his Track of My Years

Famed for his unique decibel busting voice, actor, broadcaster, explorer and mountaineer Brian Blessed talks to Ken Bruce about his picks for Tracks of My Years.

Brian Blessed chats with Ken Bruce about his selection of songs for this week's Tracks of My Years. You may know Brian Blessed as an actor and broadcaster, best known for his decibel-busting voice, but he is also an explorer/mountaineer: he's the oldest man to reach the North Pole, and has climbed Mount Everest three times.

But with a career spanning six decades, Brian is known and loved for roles in TV shows including 'Z Cars', 'Blackadder' and 'I, Claudius', and of course his iconic portrayal of Prince Vultan in the film of 'Flash Gordon'.

Brian's latest project is appearing as the Master Of Ceremonies in a new concert production of Tubular Bells. 'Tubular Bells With The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra' celebrates 50 years of Mike Oldfield's legendary album, and as well as performing compere duties, Brian will also appear as 'The Caveman'. There'll be a trio of shows in Nottingham, London and Birmingham in October and November, with a companion album also set to be released.
