His Dark Materials: Lin-Manuel Miranda goes behind the scenes

Lin-Manuel Miranda takes a peek behind the scenes of the new BBC blockbuster bringing Philip Pullman's magical series to the screen.
The star behind the hit musical Hamilton plays hero Lee Scoresby in His Dark Materials and said he fell in love with the books when he first read them.
He also couldn't say no to a bit of theatrical karaoke in Cardiff - where the series has been put together.
His Dark Materials begins on BBC One on 3 November

Did you use a potato to screen record this?

[@adventurekitty1016]

I find it incredible interesting that despite me never watching this show or seeing Lin before I pictured Lee to look almost exactly like this man. (Yes I will watch the show, I am in the middle of reading The Subtle Knife)

[@o34ok88]

I looked behind the screen and saw how easy it would be to make a blimp like Lee scorsby
