Toby Jones could play Blake, he looks like him facially. I saw him play Hogarth, and he's an ace actor. What is this clip from?

I've changed the description of the clip as it wouldn't let me post a URL here.

Thanks - a beautiful reading of this powerful poem. I wonder what dear old William would make of our present-day world?

Wonderful to see this. Thank you for the upload. Jones is a good choice for this poem. (I think he played William Hogarth very well a few years ago.)

Thanks sasha - a great poem by one of the great visionary artists.

That guy looks just like the painting of Blake in another video clip on here - except his hair.
