The Frisian Perspective on "Talking to a Frisian farmer in Friesland with Old English"

Frisian is the closest living language to English (after Scots), and it is frequently possible for speakers of Frisian and English to communicate across language barriers. In a famous clip from Mongrel Nation, Eddie Izzard went to Fryslân and tried to speak Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons, with a Frisian farmer. Having studied both Old English as well as being a speaker of Frisian, I looked at this video from both perspectives, seeing where, and why, they were able to communicate and what caused issues with the mutual intelligibility.
