Video: Rob Brydon makes West End debut

Rob Brydon has made his West End stage debut in Alan Ayckbourn's A Chorus of Disapproval.

The comedian and actor stars opposite former EastEnders star Nigel Harman/p] and Ugly Betty's Ashley Jensen in the revival of the 1984 comedy under the direction of Trevor Nunn at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

He grew a beard for the part of Dafydd, the director of an amateur operatic society production.

Brydon told BBC Wales Today reporter Matt Murray it was the "perfect opening night" while opera star Bryn Terfel and comedian Jimmy Carr gave their views on the first night.
