The last of the BBC Shakespeare histories

[wongkk]

Finally I have seen the fourth BBC production (broadcast a few weeks ago as the last of a series of four Shakespeare history plays televised to celebrate our Queen's diamond jubilee) with Tom Hiddlestone as King Henry V, John Hurt as the Chorus and Anton Lesser as Exeter.

I like the photo, whoever it is. From Paris? You do get around!

I am very glad you were able to see all 4 productions :)

Ah, I do feel guilty that I haven't posted any of my Paris photos. I did take some nice ones, particularly in this Musée de Cluny (a Museum of the Middle Ages), which is housed in a beautiful palace built in the last 1400s, part of which incorporates the remains of some 3rd century Roman baths.

The other very photogenic place that I visited in Paris was the Père Lachaise cemetery where some notable figures such as Chopin and Molière are buried. If you like graveyards, you would find this one very atmospheric. The Paris visit was for a friend's birthday (shame it falls in chilly February!) so not my choice, but very nice all the same.

Y, I'm pleased to have wrapped up this series. I don't have a television so I need to scrounge a recording of someone else. Most of my artistically-inclined friends are greedy enough to do anything for dinner :=)

As you like the photo, here is the rest of it:

It is beautiful! Your churches have a rich history of stained glass.

In the churches in my area, all of the writing is in German since this is a German ethnic community and county.,
