Michael Hordern is a choleric Prospero, emphatic in his anger, but he is cold and unpoetic in reconciliation. Perhaps because he was substituting for an unavailable Sir John Gielgud, Hordern goes too far in the opposite direction. This series gave him King Lear, in which he gave the performance of his life, but this Prospero can't be regarded as a success
A heart-warming holiday hit! When cantankerous home shopping network producer Lucy Cullins (Whoopi Goldberg) hires an actor named Nick to host the channel's 'Kristmas Korner' sales promotion, she gets way more than she bargained for. You see, Nick is actually the real Santa Claus (Nigel Hawthorne), and his presence there is anything but accidental. With his 200-year-contract about to expire, he has to convince Lucy to take over the reigns... or Christmas as we know it will be doomed. Funny, touching and featuring great songs performed by Garth Brooks, Call Me Claus is an instant classic with a timeless holiday message.
The acclaimed 1982 BBC adaptation of Anthony Trollope's novels.

Obadiah Slope (Alan Rickman).

From the producers of Much Ado About Nothing and The Madness of King George, comes this stunning version of one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies. Adapted and directed by Trevor Nunn, this romantic, comedic tale of loss and love, disguise and gender, takes on haunting melancholy tones. Filmed on the coast of Cornwall, its ensemble cast is top class: Imogen Stubbs, Helena Bonham Carter and Toby Stephens are poignantly young as the confused lovers, and Mel Smith, Imelda Staunton and Richard E. Grant have a high time as the rascally, conniving faction of lost souls. Nigel Hawthorne is quite tragic as the self-deluded, ill-used Malvolio and Ben Kingsley is fabulous as the shrewd...
