- When he's not touring with the Damned, punk music legend Captain Sensible is a bit of a trainspotter. Here, he heads down to the coast on the historic Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch steam railway
I'd like to see a series of the Captain going around the railways. He's a good presenter.
The Captain just oozes that cool Dad-punk sort of vibe
What a lovely bloke Ray is ... a good soul for rock n roll.
He's quite a good presenter he should do more television.
Great presentation and genuine enthusiasm.
That's awesome! Big fan of The Captain, and he's a train buff! So cool!
Brilliant!.... Dear Auntie Beeb...please give this man Portillo's job...he'd bring a whole new enthusiasm to the railway journeys TV series...
yes, he could have Portillo's job on This Week as well.
Totally agree with you!
I enjoyed a few pints with The Cap back in the late 70s early 80s in The Sailor S.Norwood and The Lion Pawsons rd. Top bloke.
Actually a good show all the way around...way to go Captain!
Wot a star. we need a few more captains in the world. sit back and relax
Andrew Cooper "wot" hahahaha
3 Oi's for the Captain !
Great stuff. Good work Captain.
as a punk rock listening railroading s o b its great to see the cap out buffing!
Have we ever seen the Captain and Paul O'Grady in the same room? I think not!
A lot easier than supporting motorhead, which is what I've been doing lately :)
I can't believe I'm just seeing this now in mid-October 2022, 10 years after it was uploaded. I've known of the Captain since my teen years in the mid/late '80s, but as a bit of a railfan myself here in the US, this presentation just further elevated the amount of respect for him. Like others have stated previously, I agree that he would make for a great presenter on this, or perhaps even other subjects on a regular basis - if he hasn't already done so and I'm simply not aware of it yet.
Better than Portillo's cack handed efforts. Give the Captain a TV series.
i SAID CAPTAIN, HE SAYS WHAT ?
Sensible is a DIE HARD vegetarian. I'm pretty sure it is imitation leather.
Took my kids on this train today whilst wearing a Captain Sensible t shirt! Had no idea he’d rode these rails before me
Cheers Cap, i enjoyed that and the history.
Captain, I love you!!! Xoxoxo
@Stereovaccine Yeah, he's got the personality. Wouldn't be surprised if he'd his own train set too.
Love it.
4:20. So true.
It's always funny listening to the Captain, actually he reminds me of Palin and his journeys, and if the Captain joined Python for a day he'd perfectly take care of himself amongst giants of British humour and comedy - i never saw this man running short of words and punchlines. . Heard the Captain's music in early 77, at almost 14, and his band always struck me as the real mccoy, so i stand in attention before the Captain. Salute!
The Captains a great Guy..Hey Rob leeming!! He has your jumper on!! Did he pinch it off you at the Goth Fest at Whitby!!!.......
Can I love you, Captain? Godddddddddd.....
I could imagine salad fingers in dungeness
*weak orgasmic sound*
I said Captain!
haha! 3 years later!
:)
Nilguiri & i fed my rabbit, every day !!
'i said Wot'
@jamesgreenfield !!!! I was just going to post a comment a long the lines of "Is he a long lost relative of Paul O'Grady?" and then I scrolled down and saw your comment. He reminds me of P'O G, when he struggles to get out of the train at 2.41.
a thought it were Lily savage at first glance lol
Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank.
@postyesterdayman i think the ramones were the first punk band, the damned were the first british punk band to put out a record
I used to travel the London overheads every day. I commuted between my squat in Stamford Hill all the way to Rotherhide and i never had to buy a ticket. The lads at the station didnt give a fuck, just gave a thumbs up to us punks ... Youd have to get a train that stopped in Bethnal Green coz youd be fucked if it bypassed Betsy and went to Liverpool street . Bonking the underground was no problem either. even the conductors were cool and let us ride for free ... Halcion days in London .
We used to update our travel cards with black eyeliner!
London in the 80's was like The Wild West, you could have a great time with hardly any money.
Get rid of that wanker Portillo and give Sensible the gig !!
frflinstone (I can't stop laughing at your brilliant & true comment) nice one
Cheers David
Michael Portillo has let himself go
Fukitt, Burns was right about that Beeching arsehole. If I'd a space in this matchbox for a Hornby, I'd certainly...
jesus...I wish I hadn't watched this...like your dad trying to be witty and subversive whilst still sucking it up to earn the money..not I deny the captain that..just doubly weird!
OK folks, you are trying to make the reporter look cool, well wearing a leather jacket like that, cheap ' wanna be' forget it!!! At least supply him with the correct gear!
