Sounnds like it's going to Christmas Day, but I bet it will be in the evening. I can imagine the credits rolling on the Xmas Day special, and the announcer saying, "Switch over to BBC2 now and you can carry on watching David strut his stuff!" or something similar!

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.
