  That's moor like it

  Ignore the blue eyes, dodgy tan and Welsh accent. This is incredible. Bob Hoskins, Anthony Hopkins and the bird from 'Ever Decreasing Circles' are playing Shakespeare at his best. A highlight from a brilliant series from the BBC, shame they don't make this sort of thing these days. Watch it.
