Time for our regular look at the TV that the BFI is showing, this time in the month of June 2012. Not a huge amount but what there is is cracking.
As well as a 1962 production of The Winter’s Tale with Robert Shaw, Rosalie Crutchley, Ron Moody and Patrick Macnee, there’s an illustrated lecture on TV’s depiction of women in the workplace by Dr Rachel Moseley of Warwick University, and – Δευς! – it’s a season of Greek tragedies on TV, including that famous 1962 production of Elektra that ITV aired in Greek without subtitles, as well as Oedipus Tyrannus with Patrick Stewart, Ronald Radd and Rosalie Crutchley (again), Agamemnon with Helen Mirren and Diana Rigg, Peter Hall’s The Oresteia with David Bamber, and Iphigenia at Aulis with Roy Marsden and Fiona Shaw.
I’m going to be bankrupt before the end of the month, aren’t I?
