Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
That made me laugh aloud! I have been watching the rest of The Hollow Crown this week. Just Henry V now... Wonderful, wonderful production!

Oh, that's perfect, absolutely perfect! Even more to look forward to now, Dame Judi Dench is just...

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
I doubt that Benedict himself has been pursuing her for the role though - great as he is, I can't see him being given the casting reigns by the BBC!!
Judi had probably already taken a part in the production and this was just their jokey way of putting it out there, imo.
Anyway, it's great news - can't wait to hear who else is in it!

Brilliant news, Susi. My best friend is a big admirer of Judi Dench. That is the chance to get her also more interested in Benedict.

Here we get some information about Benedict's view of Richard:

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
I really would love to compare Martin's performance on stage to Benedict's role for the BBC. Unfortunately only Benedict's part will be possible for me ... What a pity ...

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
So this seems to mean that he will start with Richard when he's back in London after the SDCC...?

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
Sounds good. And we get the whole Richard over all the plays. And it seems they will stress his disability and outsider status.
