Knights of Classic Drama at the BBC

| 01 November 2015 (USA)

The BBC delves into its archives to discover British acting greats as they take their first tentative steps on the road to success. Long before they were knighted for their services to drama, we see early appearances from Michael Caine in a rare Shakespearean role, Ben Kingsley, Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Michael Gambon. Featuring unique behind-the-scenes footage alongside a wealth of classic British productions like War and Peace, the Mayor of Casterbridge and the Singing Detective, it reveals many career-defining moments from the first generation of acting talent to fully embrace television drama.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Humbersi

The first must-see film of the year.

Wyatt

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Phillipa

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
