Alexei Sayle as Benito Mussolini

[@Xxcuteybellex]

I met him in a bank in london today. I'm only 18 but I went crazy when I saw him - he couldn't believe that someone so young watched the young ones bless him =) He was absolutely lovely! x

"I thought you was dead!?" "Nah, it was just me day off!" "You know KHAHK! for when you are talking on your radio." "If you don't get it right, I kick your head in." "Fascist!" "Si!" Gotta love, Sayle! The man is bloody brilliant! This and Dr. Marten's Boots were his two best moments in the series.

[@FoxBox72]

I recommend any fans of this have a listen to "Alexei Sayle's Imaginary Sandwich Bar" radio series. He's older and wiser, but he's still got it, and his Sandwich bar is an under-appreciated gem, imo.

[@NullAndVoidEmpire]

Thanks, I will have to 😂

[@mechanicalfruit9659]

I'm starting to think that this is how Mussolini really acted

[@DavidThomas-fb8bq]

This is how he started.

[@anorakus8272]

¿Si?

[@Loutron3030]

Legitimately he was a really wierd guy and that song & dance number at the end was making fun of his stage mannerisms and bizarre emphatic noises. This is the part of history that people really should have remembered; everyone thought that guys like him, Franco and the other infamous European dictator were just kind of goofy and harmless- like it was all some sort of joke. The aforementioned other dictator didn't end up with Charlie Chaplin's moustache by mistake, he wanted people to think he was a lot less dangerous than he actually was.

[@JohnWilliamsFromBluff]

"Watch out for the special branch"! Brilliant 🙂 (Around 1:20)

Shame we dont see anything of Alexie anymore. I'd love to see him do a guest spot on some uk game panel shows etc, guy is a legend.

Take a look at the radio pages in Radio Times, for Radio 4 and Radio 4 Extra. Won't be long before you find him . Lenin Of The Rovers, Imaginary Sandwich Bar and Strangers On A Train are three series you should look out for! 📻🎙️

Yes, Crete had been Fascist Italian up to October 1940, when it was occupied by the Allies - the airborne attack in May 1941 was by the Germans!

[@Jiemusu89]

@kezzieb42 Not all Marxists are necessarly Communists, but I can see what you mean because politics in entertainment in the America will only stretch as far as center-left, considering the dichotomy there is Democratic vs Republic. But alot of radical left, and anti-capitalist/fascist political material from the UK is surprisingly more popular there than people expect. I was a little surprised too.
