He's very good at what he does.

When I first saw this version, I also thought that it was the worst adaptation of the Mikado ever done, but then I watched a few more videos of it, gave it a chance, and I realized that it's not bad, it's unique. It's done in a more whimsical manner and actually one of the funniest ones I've seen.

This is great !

[@ChioGaru]

This production rocks!

[@theicyridge]

"This is simply appauling." Sure is. For a real version of the Mikado, check out the Stratford clips.

[@rossmcl177]

and he's gorgeous!

[@jamesbrice3267]

"That'll make us The Villiage People". Lol.

[@jeffwolcott7815]

They'd have to dress in stupid outfits and sing corny songs for a living!

[@ser132]

I love how his assisstant is called Kato. Sweet.

[@martel732]

This is pretty funny. Hand it to the Aussies!

[@jamhands8376]

Does anyone know what happened to the Stratford clips? They've vanished!!

[@tinythechick]

yes, there was, it was ko-ko, pooh-bah, and pish-tush.

[@GirsWaffles]

what order do these clips go in?

[@DAv2003]

Wasn't there a third character in this song?

[@wanderingkernel5002]

Yes there was We have Pooh Bah and Ko Ko But no Pish-Tush for some reason

[@ditkoofseppala]

Sigh . . . only in Australia!

[@tomasdw]

where is pish-tush????! D:

[@xXanthex]

in thuis version i think they took out pish-tush

[@Joomington]

They didn't do it because they couldn't find someone. They did it to include the 3 women who perform as a trio.

[@eivind7]

Same here, and it's growing on me too. But I still think they've gone a bit overboard, seems like they like to insert a gag into any song/dialog/situation just for the sake of it. Just a bit of moderation would make it a excellent, if untraditional, adaptation. I could even forgive the absence of Pish-Tush if so.

[@TOHOFIEND54]

what the hell?! It is pretty funny though

[@oboewizard]

funny - but I hate the cut - there was no reason to add a trio women - find a good chorister and have him sing Pish-Tush. Interesting production and some very funny bits - but they play too fast and loose with Sullivan, not to mention Gilbert for my taste.

[@Xerxes2005]

Meh... Jon English made a good Pirate King, but here he's not in his element. I always thought Pooh-Bah was a very pompous, snobbish and obsequious man. English does not fit the bill.
