This is going to be so amazing.

Am I seeing a BAFTA floating above his head?!

**Posted by SusiGo** April 15, 2016 4:40 pm

Would be overdue.

Don't we know it!

Also going 'oh… wow!'

OMG!!

And I'm on holiday when part 3 will be aired.

**Posted by SusiGo** April 18, 2016 7:40 am

Which is the best part. But then you have something to look forward to when you come back.

A new trailer:

Looks amazing, though the princes will be traumatic.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** April 18, 2016 6:26 pm

It looks incredible! I wish I could speed up time to watch this!

**Posted by Yitzock** April 18, 2016 7:05 pm

It looks like a good, exciting adaptation. I just read Richard III this past semester for my Shakespeare class, so I am looking forward to seeing this (though I was already imagining Benedict as Richard while I was reading it).

See, now I wish I could play chess...

**Posted by besleybean** April 19, 2016 3:41 pm

Me, too.

**Posted by dioscureantwins** April 19, 2016 7:26 pm

I'm so, so, so looking forward to this. Richard III is my favourite Shakespeare play and BC looks amazing. That quietly evil smirk of his, half hidden behind the fur covering his shoulder. Sweet Lord, I die.

Oh, that's too bad. I'm away on my annual girl weekend. Which is fun but sadly I'm the only Cumber-person (yes, apparently non-Cumberbatched women walk this Earth as well) so I won't have a chance to watch it when it first airs. Luckily my lovely sis-in-law will record it for me so I can have a go at him two days later. (I wish).

I am going to record it as well. But I have to wait for two weeks then. Though I am going to spent my holidays on the beautiful island of Tenerife... curiosity will torture me.
