Oh wow! Thanks, I'd missed that - serves me right for not buying the Oxford Times this week! And I'm sure you're right - Who for all the family at tea-time, then incest, murder and mayhem for the grown-ups after the watershed ;-)
Interesting that Boyd says they "were some way down the road with doing Hamlet as a live broadcast earlier this year" - I wish they had found a way to do it, it would have been so fabulous for everyone who wanted to get a ticket and couldn't - but I do entirely take his point about thrust stagings being a lot harder to film than a traditional proscenium-type stage.
