I feel for you...
Being raised in England, we were brought up with it and I love it

I was hoping for more of Simon Russell Beale!  Let's hope he has another slot later.

I think we read some scenes of "Romeo & Juliet" (or Romeo&Julia as it is called in Germany) but that's it. 
We were concentrating on German classics, in my case Kabale und Liebe by Friedrich Schiller. Wasn't my favourite school moment.

I didn't realise that it was going to be on today and I can't watch right now because my mum and I are about to go out, but hopefully it will be on iPlayer to watch later.



Clueing for looks.

Rory and Simon are both brilliant, but I actually wasn't over keen on either of their performances tonight.
Ian was good and Roger was brilliant.
The Hamlet scene was excellent...I didn't even mind HRH quite so much!

Was that all Benedict is doing tonight? That would be a bit disappointing.

I dunno....
But for me so far, Anthony Sher has been the performance of the night.

Considering that the other people in that scene (save for the prince) has had their turn on the stage alone too... I hope so!

Nope. We've been Ben restricted...
Well I hope they release a dvd of it, cos I'd like it along with the National theatre one, tho I thought the latter was slightly better.
This was good though and I enjoyed it.
English culture at it's best.
Well done, BBC.

Seeing as Ben has gone straight from Dr. Strange to Sherlock, perhaps he simply didn't have the time to rehearse anything more?

Seeing as I dislike theatre and am not into Shakespare at all, I enjoyed this show. I especially enjoyed the legendary seniors - LIthgow, Suchet, McKellen, Mirren and Dench. I particually liked Ian McKellen's piece, as it is strikingly relevant today.

Also, the sketch with Ben was quite funny. (And he looked amazing!)

And I don't know about you, guys, but fangirl-wise it's a very special thing to watch something like that live. To be able to look at Ben and know that this isn't something that was shot months ago and then edited into something, but that he is up there on that stage while I am sitting on my couch. Quite awesome.

Bit disappointing we did not get more of Benedict. A little scene would have been nice.

Benedict is already in his full Sherlock mode.
Loved the sketch, loved the whole show!

Oh yes.
Plus I also wanted to give a shout out  for David Suchet, he was good too.
