I didn't even know it was a BBC show, so I'm delighted!

WalesOnline has an article about The Eichmann Show, and Inquisitr has an interview with Martin about same.

The BBC website for the show has now three short clips of the film: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b050d2t9/clips

Wow, just heard about this now. Really looking forward to this! I would have been sceptical to see him in a serious role like this a few years ago, but after having seen him in Sherlock and Fargo, I've seen that his range is far wider than playing an adorable goof.

Can I be shallow for just a moment and mention the fact that Martin looks like a hot teacher in this film.

RadioTimes has an article ("Martin Freeman makes TV history in first trailer for The Eichmann Show") and a trailer for The Eichmann Show:

The Jewish News likewise has an article ("Martin Freeman stars in BBC Eichmann drama to mark Auschwitz liberation"), the same trailer, plus three additional clips/trailers:

It looks like it will be fairly amazing, including genuine footage from the trial like that.

Wow….

besleybean · January 18, 2015 8:24 am

The trailer looks fab.
Can't waitt to see it on Tuesday.

Being repeated across the Net is a bit that I think came originally from The Irish Examiner, that "keeping up his East Coast accent was a tough challenge when filming The Eichmann Show."

(Speaking as someone from New York, and going by the clips I saw, I think it may be a challenge he did not quite rise to.) (Possibly because there really, really isn't one East Coast accent to keep up.)

I'm hoping to see it tonight.

REReader · January 20, 2015 6:26 pm

Report back, please! (I don't know if there's any way for me to see it here; I'm hoping it'll be streamed for an international audience.)

besleybean · January 20, 2015 6:35 pm

Well I will if I get to see it...(looks over at husband.)

REReader · January 20, 2015 7:25 pm

It's HISTORY, so it's like an obligation to watch it!

besleybean · January 20, 2015 7:40 pm

Normally he'd agree, but there's other stuff going on at the mo!

tonnaree · January 20, 2015 8:01 pm

Only one television BB?

besleybean · January 20, 2015 8:08 pm

Yep...I may record it, will see.

Ok it finished past my bedtime, but both hubby and I sat and watched it.
It was very good, the use of original footage worked well.
All perfotmances were good and I have to say it's my new favouruite work of Martin's.
The subject matter was handled well.
The historical context was good.
They got the message across...a very human story, one that needed telling and is relevant today.
I left my very sensitive husband sobbing...while I went to bed.
Have I told you my 'Schindler's list' story?
