I watched the latest BBC / RSC production of Hamlet last night (not dvd as such, more an Itunes download).
Was brilliant. Just brilliant! Tennant as hamlet was great; Patrick Stewart as the King and as old Hamlet the ghost was spell-binding. Even laertes wasn't totally shit and he's usually the one that gets most badly miscast
I was only checking the download. Hasd no intention of watching it. Was turning off computer to go to bed and noticed it had finished coming in...having had some probs with itunes downloads lately, i figured I'd check and make sure it was working and the correct download...
3 hours later I went to bed with a head full of Hamlet. it's still in my head now. I adore that play. I think this is now my second favourite production after the old b&w Olivier version (the one that won my heart when i was a nipper).
