You are taking me back to my teens with the first one. That was the year we were in Stratford to see Brannagh do Henry. Think we may well have seen this episode about that time.
Michael Williams did a lot of Shakespeare, and indeed played Henry for the RSC at one point in the 70s I think.
Patrick Stewart is also amazing in this, and the man standing at the end of the row looking on as they heckle is Michael Pennington who has my first Hamlet in 1981.
