[@martybadboy]

Matt Berry still owes Lloyd Weber 20 grand.

Phwhat?

Toast reference

This is the weirdest Snuff Box episode ever

[@jennibee3842]

I did the same thing when i was a kid -listened with super soft squishy head phones and it blew my mind. probably over 15 years ago Ian Gillan starred in the stage version in my backyard city of Schenectady NY. I was in awe

[@Kris.G]

Check out Matt Berry's AD/BC: A Rock Opera that was influenced by JCS.

[@NxDoyle]

When I was 8, in 1978, I spent two months in hospital. By today's standards the children's ward was positively Dickensian. Very little by way of entertainment. After a couple of weeks and surgeries, I was confined to bed, my only company a mono cassette deck, headphones and a copy of JCS. I listened to it over and over. Oddly enough, I've heard very little of it since then. In fact, I've hardly given it a second thought. I think I'll revisit it. For a small but significant time in my life it was a security blanket.

"Where are your proper shoes? I lost them in a poker game, to Andrew Lloyd Weber" "WHAT?!"

[@nickparsons337]

Toast of London was absolutely HILARIOUS. Every now and then when I need a good laugh; I come back to it. Matt Barry always makes me laugh (especially as Steven Toast.)

[@yellowblanka6058]

@@nickparsons337I've been a fan of pretty much everything Matt Berry's been in, IT Crowd, TOL, Darkplace, WWDITS etc. - Toast of London is something I regularly go back to, it's my kind of subtle character/situational humor and I love the (generally) understated vibe of the show.

[@MrBPM75]

Matt Berry always the best!!

He is my spirit animal

[@ProckGnosis]

One of my all-time faves as a rock album. Great music, amazing rock vocal performances! Thanks for the post, as this has some info about the album I've never run across. Seems it was even more amazing/fortunate it was ever made.

[@vijaynair2403]

Does Matt Berry do those intonations in his voice intentionally for comedic purposes? Like when he says “languagezzzzz” or “sewperstaarrrr”. I always crack up when he does that!

[@Briansgate]

I always think he is doing it for comedy, but, i swear, everything I ever hear him in, he does it every time.

[@Bjarku]

Yeah he does it for comedic effect. Probably as much to amuse himself as anybody else. There are interviews where he’s playing it completely straight and doesn’t do it

[@QuizWriterMark]

AD/BC by Matt Berry is one of the best tribute to JC Superstar!

[@reallyidrathernot.134]

Does Matt Berry know if his voice delivery is ironic or not.

[@CaptainSnackbar]

each time i hear Matt Berry voice i get IT crowd and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace flashbacks

[@AdamHowell2023]

An excellent album and a great example of Lloyd Webber's talent to take risks musically as well as capturing the sound of when the piece was written. Rice's fresh lyrics and wit... It really is a masterpiece. They could both do with having a bit of the magic they had then with their latest works.

[@jasoncoleridge5872]

"I kept my old record collection which rather now looks like good news" says a man worth about a billion dollars :D

Berry's spot on Greatest album ever

[@nigelcarren]

This makes me want to dance around a miniiiiatuuuuuuuuure Stone-Henge!

[@SethHesio]

Brian Brolly... lmao. This could have been a This is Spinal Tap style mockumentary..

[@carolskitchenquirks]

Pure television brilliance unsurpassed.

[@soupersonic]

I can't tell if this is parody or not?

[@kelzuya]

Did this for a school play, never forgot the music

[@thewhippetbeans]

I cant stand a.l.w but i've just ordered the album! can totally see the influence in Mr Berry's own music .

[@yer_old_pal_Jerky]

Austin Osman Spare?!? Who the heck is commissioning these shows?! Dude was a Crowleyite, and not known for much more than that. Very strange that he should be getting attention on the likes of The Culture Show.

[@sourcreampudding]

Right on the heels of JCS, the Austin Osman Spare bit makes this clip more bizarre than it was already.

[@LusciousTwinkle]

I love Ian Gillam so MUCH.

The inspiration behind AD/BC: A rock opera

[@FrancisCWolfe]

Herod's song is important comic relief IMO.

[@LukeBass1000]

I've never seen MB so serious

[@kelzuya]

SeeYewPerStar!

[@thumbwarriordx]

This was never my thing, but I'd be a fool not to acknowledge its influence in my beloved corny Heavy Metal Operas.

[@RageInEden]

Men, find yourself a woman who will look at you the way that Matt Berry looks at Andrew Lloyd Webber. 5:09

[@DubSun33]

Sewts you sir

[@stephaneenglish4661]

What? King Herod’s song isn’t ridiculous - in the movie version it isn’t, anyway.

[@clairyboots.]

I can't stand Andrew Lloyd Weber (he takes himself far too seriously) but my god I love Jesus Christ Superstar, it's my all time fave.

[@Nick_VA]
