Vine: Here’s a lesson on manners, as taught by Ian McKellen aka Gandalf

No better man to to show you the power of politeness

Thanks to his role in Extras and what we’ve seen of him on Twitter from Patrick Stewart’s tweets, we know that Ian McKellen has a pretty great sense of humour, and the lads at Sesame Street gave him a chance to show it off again in an upcoming episode.

In the skit, McKellen is stopped on his way into a shop by a Gandalf puppet, who won’t let him pass…until he shows he’s got some manners.

Sure a bit of politeness never hurt anyone.
