The game's afoot: follow your spirit and upon this charge...

As you may recall, the Beeb are doing a series of Shakespeare plays, called The Hollow Crown, encompassing Richard II, Henry IV (Parts I and II) and Henry V. The cast, to say the very least, is phenomenal.

Jeremy Irons upbraiding Tom Hiddleston, Ben Whishaw crossing swords with Rory Kinnear, all under the watchful eyes of David Suchet, Patrick Stewart, John Hurt, Clemence Poésy, Michelle Dockery, to name but a few (yes the list goes on...)

I might possibly be just a teensy bit excited...
