Have yourself a very Una Christmas! Oh dear, thoughm I hope my gloomy fantasies don't spoil the festive spirit. At least there'll be Hamlet to, um, cheer you up ;-)

Not till the New Year, there won't - it doesn't ship till January, presumably because (I believe) they're planning to screen it on BBC2 sometime over Ye Festive Season. (As long as it's not while Who's on BBC1 on Christmas Day!)

And yes, I do still want the DVD even if it's been on telly - the production company's blog dropped various hints about interviews, out-takes and all the usual goodies, so quite apart from supporting the RSC (and the cast, presumably!) it should be worth the dosh...

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.
