BBC to adapt Shakespeare's Henry VI/Richard III, Benedict Cumberbatch as Richard III

[Martoto]

Good news indeed. I thought the Hollow Crown was marvellous. Ben Whishaw was outstanding and Jeremy Irons immense in their respective roles.

I'm getting round to putting them onto DVDRs just now because I need the space on my Freeview+ box. I had thought that a blu-ray would be forthcoming within a year of their first broadcast, allowing for a couple of repeats which have never popped up either.

P.S. I'm putting a link to this thread on the Hollow Crown thread. Hope you don't mind.
