BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / The Turning Point (Benedict on stage)

I just discovered this theatre production on Youtube. It's a play by Michael Dobbs about Guy Burgess, the later Soviet double agent (who was also portrayed by Rupert Everett in "Another Country"), interviewing Winston Churchill in 1938. If you like to see Benedict live on stage chain-smoking, there you are :

Thank you... I can imagine why you like it. I could see what he's wearing under his jacket.

I will record it and put it on my to do list.
And then, once being on youtube, I found more... and more.... *sigh* My life's too short.

Yeeeaaah! Suspender-Braces! You see and you observe.

But seriously, it's interesting to see him on stage. And I can recommend "Another Country" as well, it has Rupert Everett AND a very young Colin Firth in it. I watched
the film with a friend when we came to London in 1984 (yes, I'm that old ).

Oooo thank you for this, I know it was on sky a few months back but my recording failed as they were updating the system. I was not impressed. Added to my watch later list and something to look forward to, yay!
