Synopsis
Groundbreaking 15-part BBC drama serial created by Peter Dews, written by Eric Crozier, and directed by Michael Hayes, adapting the eight William Shakespeare history plays which comprise the two Henriad s. These cover events in England and France during the second half of the Hundred Years' War, and the subsequent Wars of the Roses. They are: * Richard II (2 episodes) * Henry IV, Part 1 (2 episodes) * Henry IV, Part 2 (2 episodes) * Henry V (2 episodes) * Henry VI, Part 1 (1 episode) * Henry VI, Part 2 (2 episodes) * Henry VI, Part 3 (2 episodes) * Richard III (2 episodes) Stars David William as Richard II, Tom Fleming as Henry IV, Robert Hardy as Henry V, Terry Scully as Henry VI, and Paul Daneman as Richard III, as well as a whole host of other great British actors, including Julian Glover, Geoffrey Bayldon, Eileen Atkins, Michael Graham Cox, William Squire, Judi Dench, and some then-unknown Scottish guy named Sean Connery; wonder if he ever did anything else.
