Everybody I know is miserable today.

So I think we should all watch this (I know we have probably all seen it because I post it a lot).

How completely charming. (And my inner reader was squealing "And now a jig! They ended with a jig!")

[jonquil]

P.S. Is this available legally, and if so from where?

[angevin2]

Well, I have a digital copy from someone who taped it off BBC4 and digitized it. It isn't commercially available. There are a few more scenes from it on youtube.

Pfui. I shall sniff around the Usual Sources.

I love how Mark Rylance looks absolutely thrilled. Although one of the earlier shots of Liam Brennan was, I think, one you used in your Richard II LOLCat set, and I couldn't stop thinking about that.

Also, one of the dw_historical prompts has created a plotbunny that won't die. I totally dreamed about the Doctor solving crime with Thomas More last night, and I really shouldn't be thinking about writing fic right now.

OMG YES. WAAAAAAAAAAAAANT. You should offer it as a prompt over there if you don't want to write it yourself, and see if anyone else picks it up!

And yes, we did use that shot.

Oh, Henry. You are so repressed.

I think the bunny has taken on a life of its own so I may not have a choice as to whether or not I write it. ;) And it was inspired by a prompt someone else suggested. I added another one, by the way, that I'm really hoping someone picks up -- the Doctor being involved in Marlowe's murder.

Um, I don't even really do the fic thing, but, um, if there was to be a bit of Sir-Saint Thomas solving crime, um, that would be totally okay.

::Swoons::

:D This never stops being awesome. And I totally had a stupid conversation about dancing at the end of plays with Mark the last time I met him (Cos, you know, I do that a lot. Well, three times. :-P) which filled me with gleeeee.

THANK YOU!!

That so made my day!!

I remember when I saw this production and that was when I fell head over heels in love with Mark Rylance!!

Ah, I know that stage. There we were, and there I was, and I wanted to step on it and before I was near it the guide said that only someone who was in a production there could tread those boards, so I stood right next to it instead and just wished.

Only later did it occur to me that I could have easily taken the first two fingers of my off hand and let them strut and fret about a bit, and even take a picture with the other hand, for posterity. Next time for sure.
