Oh dear You Tube binge on Roger Allam

First video (actually an audio) was necessary because I have Les Miserables on the brain - and why not - it is such an extravagantly wonderful piece of work and this is my favourite song. The song describes the ideology of the character Javert : his mission in life is to apply the law to impose some order on the chaos, and the failure of his ideology is a tragedy. Here he aspires to the stars. 

Then a few funny things from Cabin Pressure, a few minutes long. Roger Allam plays the First Officer who knows everything and is a tiny bit arrogant, and John Finnemore plays the not-bright but always cheerful steward, Arthur.

Here is the smartarse First Officer played by Roger Allam, alleviating the boredom.
