This clip of the Lord Chancellor's entrance in Iolanthe captures Martyn Green's performance of the role originated by George Grossmith. It is from "The Great Gilbert and Sullivan" released in 1953.

Martyn Green and I have one thing in common at least - the same birthday (April 22). A worthy successor to Sir Henry Lytton. Pity there aren't any stereo recordings of him.

There are plenty of recordings of him in existence, though.

I can't understand how anyone could dislike this - This is how things were done before "New Labour" not only abolished Hereditary Peers but also The Lord Chancellor himself - for No good reason ! New Labour - New Public Hangings !
