Sunday 1st November
BBC Four, 9.00pm GMT
In the first of a two-part series, 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.
Knights Of Classic Drama At The BBC was produced by Andrew Hall.
