    One of the few great things about the internet & you tube is that we have access to amazing interviews like this.

    What an absolutely wonderful interview. Sir Derek is a brilliant actor. I saw him in Richard III and Richard II over two consecutive nights in London. Truly a genius of versatility on the stage. I also saw in as Alan Turing in Breaking the Code. His talent is absolutely exceptional.

    I loved Derek Jacobi as Claudius, and was enthralled with him as Richard II.

      +Ron Villejo Claudius was a great role, a terrific script, outstanding cast, miniature budget and he was absolutely mesmerising.

      I always sensed he was a great person in addition to a great actor but had never seen him as himself until now. Lovely.

    I have been watching Last Tango in Halifax on BBC iplayer, which I just love. Could not believe he wasn't from Yorkshire as his accent was so convincing. Truly a wonderful actor.

    He is such an amazing actor, and has done so many wonderful roles, but his turn on Frasier is probably my favourite. Hysterical!

      Susanlucena I agree, I do too. He seems to be such a lovely person. I know he is married, and I am so pleased for him that he is happy. But we can still have our little harmless, admiring crushes. :)

    Cadfael is underrated IMO, it’s very much of its time though. But when you look past some dodgy acting and dodgy ADR, it’s a good little hidden gem

  • @harri2626

    I saw Derek on stage at Chichester twice when he was with NT in the 60's but never realised his significance until, of course, "I Claudius". However, my favourite performance of his was as Jackson Hedley in an episode of Frasier. His talent for self-parody was superb and I admire the way he "sent himself up" so well. I'm sure the cast must have been in hoots of laughter during rehearsals.

    It’s nothing to do with ‘luck’. It all depends on one’s Vibrational Energies. Namaste.
