The Welsh seem to have the knack for imitating fellow famous Welsh natives, Hopkins does an amazing impression of Burton too

[@taffwob]

Oddly, I'm a fair mimic but can't imitate any Welsh actors other than Windsor Davies as BSM Williams. I'd give my left arm to have a voice like Richard Burton.

[@anaussie213]

@@taffwob as would we all. I remember reading once he'd have women swoon just by reading poetry.

This makes me very proud to be Welsh, which is interesting, given the fact that I’m Scottish

[@drtmuir]

Oh my gosh, Michael Sheen is kicking himself for missing this. 😂

[@dilwich]

He should have done the war of the worlds intro.

[@the_grand_tourer]

My goodness! I have never been the first to comment on anything ... now I feel like I've been put on a small stage by Brydon! Does this entitle me to a special treat? A private performance? Rob, sorry to say (this may cancel my special treat request), Matthew's Burton is in another universe, gripped! by that morsel of monologue. Merry Xmas!

[@andrewsquire9892]

More Burton than Burton himself!

[@viennic8592]

Neaths finest

[@shelleysanders9666]

.. But Burton’s imitation of Olivier (Parkinson interview) is MUCH better..

He's good but needs to drop an octave.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

Was there a liberty taken with the soliloquy? That didn't end as it should, did it?

[@Telechontar09]

He ends it after the first few lines.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

@@Telechontar09 I don't think the last lines were correct. not that I mind.

[@bangmygavel]

Frank Gorshin does an even better impression.

[@simonb8464]

Bill Murray did a better impression on Scrooged.
