The afternoon talk at the theatre a couple of weeks ago is now on the Almeida's website (and Youtube, I presume). I hope the NT do the same with the Mosquitoes ones.

The most in-depth analysis I've seen about the play with psycological angle added. I think the related talks and things around this Hamlet have been excellent, and I wish other theatres would follow their example and make more of their talks available online. I've been to some really interesting ones over the years and while I appreciate it may be inhibiting to think you are being recorded (as an audience member, I said stuff at the Wish List after show discussion about my experience living with OCD that I don't think I'd have had the courage to say if it had been going on Youtube!) it really enriches the experience and reaches out to audiences. I was a teenager in the pre-internet era and I probably got as much if not more from post-show discussions than I did from our pedestrian school English or drama lessons. |

No mention at all in the interview of Uncle Vanya, which I thought was absolutely wonderful and revelatory.

Have they announced a date for the broadcast? Just wondered whether anyone has heard anything through the grapevine as nothing comes up on Google |

It would seem highly probable - but not always a given.

It would be great if it was. A terrific tool to use in schools too. I didn't see this Hamlet but having listened to quite a few interesting interviews with Mr Scott it seems he spoke the text as we would speak today, which is how I think it should be.

I was thinking the other day that I should've tried to get a cheap seat to the second run of this having enjoyed it so much at the Almeida, now I'm happy I didn't. Can't wait!

I'm also hoping that maybe it'll lead to a DVD release, but maybe the rights didn't stretch to that!

BBC2, Saturday 31 March, 9pm - 12.15am. I was just about to post asking if there had been any news. Great stuff - just hope it's not one of those days when our HD signal cuts out! |

Looking forward to this as he's a great actor and what a voice. However the clip of "to be or not to be" seems like he is signing his performance (the perils of recording a theatrical performance as I'm sure this movements look fine from a distance).

I’m annoyed this starts at 9pm. I am going to hope it’s on iPlayer so we can watch and insert our own intervals and not be up until 1am.

I loved the clip of To be or not to be, totally engrossed. I am SO excited to see this again tonight but yes, I also hope it translates well on screen. They've had enough time to edit to make it look/sound the best it can be, so fingers crossed! And @happysooz , it says on this page www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09yj7dz that the programme will be available shortly after broadcast, so looks like it'll definitely be on iPlayer!  The FT have also reviewed the BBC2 broadcast (at least I think that's what they done) and given it 5* www.ft.com/content/86177ad8-33ab-11e8-b5bf-23cb17fd1498 |

I'm guessing that some of it is regarded as strictly post-watershed material... (If it started at 8, would Polonius be killed before 9?) I’m sure you’re right, doesn’t mean it makes any more sense to me though. So much entertainment is delivered digitally now that the concept of a watershed is essentially meaningless. I assume there are parental controls on iPlayer, so a switched-on parent would be able to prevent a minor from watching restricted content (at least on the family TV), but more practically that a BBC Two version of Hamlet is unlikely to be the first port of call for a teenager looking for some violence. Anyway, I swear I am 43 and not 83, inspite of my recent posts. |

Great to see this again on the telly with the close ups. Some lovely touches. And what a face that Juliet Stevenson has. Did we ever sort out the thing about the watches?
