[JPPT1974]

Derek is so hot, a man for all seasons!

[kamelion7]

Sorry but why name your set of videos British, Irish, Scottish ?!!! Shouldn't that be English, Irish, Scottish as Scottish people are British you know.

[buffykidd1971]

He is one of our fantastic elder actors... him and Sir Patrick stewart....

[hopno12345]

Thanks naly! I like it myself actually...I used some of my favourite SDJ's moments :))

[bookishmuch]

Wow. Hamlet--great. Claudius--the stuff of legend. was he really in Gladiator? wow, must have missed that.

[rosapurpurea]

LOL! How could you??? ;)

[bookishmuch]

[mherrera1983]

Does anyone know the name of the movie on 1:07?

[rosapurpurea]

Same answer..."The Long Firm"... ;)

[caedoodle]

Gorgeous video (:

What film is his "We'll just call it the folly of youth" clip from?

[rosapurpurea]

Thanks a lot!!!

It's "The long firm"...great miniseries, really unconvencional...

[caedoodle]

Thank you :D

It looks interesting, plus the added bonus of Derek Jacobi with his beautiful grey hair :P

[rosapurpurea]

Yes, he looks nice in that...but his character's soooo naughty!!! Worth looking, definitely! ;p

[buffykidd1971]

its fantastic to see patrick stewart in hamlet with him, patrick is going to be in hamlet with David Tennant.. i hope to get tickets. I love SDJ too

[rosapurpurea]

I didn't know David Tennant was going to play Hamlet!!! That's just great! I like Patrick Stewart as Claudius, but my heart was all for SDJ I must admit... ;)

[buffykidd1971]

have you seen kenneth brannaghs version of hamlet, he is claudius in that and it is fantastic

[rosapurpurea]

Oh yes I did...you should find something about it in my videos... ;p

And yes, it is fantastic, I agree!

[SianStoker]

Patrick Stewart was also in "I, Claudius" with him and it was filmed about the same time. i think their amazing together!

[Achilleia]

absolutely lovely! I love the "Claudius" bit. What an amazing series!

[rosapurpurea]

Yes, a masterpiece indeed!

[twolionss]

thanks for this excellent video-i am a SDJ die-hard fan for 17-18 years now and its great to see that there are others like me!!!-in this piece we can hear his amazing voice as well-keep them coming!

[rosapurpurea]

I'll try to, I promise :)

I'm quite "new" as a fan (a couple of years), but it's just a pleasure to see him and hear him. You should join the forum...on Delphi Forums then!

[apnAEA]

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for posting!

[rosapurpurea]

Thank you apn, glad you like that ;)

[twelfthnight1]

*sigh*, me too. The voice. The coat. Everything. I loved his Chorus in "Henry V." It makes me swoon-y. And all of this Sir Derek. Thank you! :)

[rosapurpurea]

Yes, I know the feeling...SDJ all cold and wet under the rain...couldn't you just cuddle him forever?

[JPPT1974]

@twelfthnight1 You got that right. That look makes me swoon as well!

[newsboysrok]

His voice makes me happy. Thanks for posting.

[rosapurpurea]

My pleasure :)

Yes, that voice can make one's day :))

[PrettyWittyNell]

Thank you so much for this fabulous video! Derek Jacobi has been my favorite actor for a really long time. I love the clips you chose, love the music, love everything. I was especially happy that you began and ended the video with "Henry V", I've always been particularly fascinated with his performance in that film. Great job!

[rosapurpurea]

It's a pleasure doing videos of Derek Jacobi :)

Henry V was probably, in my humble opinion, his most fascinating performance...that black coat... ;)

[PrettyWittyNell]

oh yeah, I totally love that coat.

[JackLipnick]

thanks for posting. and for anyone who hasn't bought the claudius dvds, don't buy the american version. not only does it not have that interview footage (although it does have an interesting piece on the charles laughton claudius that never got off the ground) but it's also a pretty crappy transfer. video and sound is fairly awful. if not for the amazing performances and great writing it'd be unwatchable.

[hookedonclassics]

by the way the interview bit is from the specials of the I Claudius box set dvds.

[hookedonclassics]

Some great clips from great performances.SDJ rules.

Thank you very much.

[rosapurpurea]

Thank you, it's great to see others SDJ's addicted! :)

[bbxx44]

Nice piece. What is the music?

[rosapurpurea]

Great music, yes. It's Gotan Project's "Una musica brutal".

[bbxx44]

Thank you. I just purchased it on iTunes. Jacobi is a tremendous actor.

[Havitta]

Cool clip,

Where did you take the interview bit?

[rosapurpurea]

As hooke says it's a bit from I Claudius box set's extras...It's the BBC version, Europe, I don't know if it was the same in the American one.

[dryad61]

Incredibly well done! What an SDJ treat! Thanks!

[rosapurpurea]

Thank you so much...Glad you like it :))
