The banishment scene is one of the saddest scenes in Shakespeare. Brings me to tears to see a man, however debased, brought to reality in such a humiliating and final way. Such power in that performance with such little "acting." Masterful.

Thank you for uploading these performances. They are a joy to watch. I am humbled by these great performances, and all I can do is watch in awe. My tiny recitations pale in the light of your choices.

The inimitable (& late) Gordon Gostelow at his convincingly raddled best as the rubicund and scrofulus Bardolph!

Yeah, Falstaff totally had it coming. I still can't help but feel sorry for him, though.

My favorite scene, Falstaff had it coming :).

This is a fantastic series, and this is the best scene in this play. I'll bet Hal was played even colder in Shakespeare's day. The damned hat sure is a distraction, though. Who is handing it back? and WHY?
Hal, of course, is determined not to make the same mistakes as those of his father, or of Richard. If only Tony Blair had been a lover of drama...
