One of the most well-deserved awards ever given for any acting performance.

His acceptance speech is of a truly noble and civilised quality; with a modest, natural eloquence that is magnificent.

That was a great speech...so humble. It was cute at the end after they played the clip of him in Claudius, he was bashful & bowed his head. What a sweetie! :)

Well deserved honor for a fine actor giving a brilliant portrayal. In fact, the series' entire ensemble gave terrific performances which merit recognition. Among these: Sian Phillips as Livia, Brian Blessed as Augustus, George Baker as Tiberius, John Hurt as Caligula. Also the many supporting players all contributed their best to an excellent series.

Typical, sublime Sir Derek, humble and awesome at the same time. A wonderful find Rosa, and a bit melancholy too...For some people time should pass more slowly.

A stunning series crammed with brilliant performances, none exceeding Derek Jacobi's mesmerising portrayal of the eponymous character.

To stand out so brilliantly in such a fantastic cast makes his performance exceptional and to this day I have yet to see anything comparable.

To judge from the last seconds of this video, Derek seems to be a very humble and sweet person. Watch his reaction when the camera hits him again - total confusion!

The "night of the stammerers" quip was a reference to the fact that Brad Dourif had won the BAFTA for best supporting (film) actor for the stammerer Billy in Over Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

At any stage in history could anyone have thought that those ruffles spilling out of his tuxedo collar and cuffs were a good look? Surely the 70s were the decade that Time forgot.

@stuartrichardson9004 5 жыл бұрын

I think it's Annette Crosbie. If you watch the series Edward VII here on KZfaq she is excellent as Queen Victoria. (I think she won the BAFTA for that herself?) There was also a movie musical version of Cinderella written by the Sherman Brothers (who did the music for Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) called "The Slipper and The Rose" starring Richard Chamberlain in which she was fabulous as the Fairy Godmother. She also had a small part in Calendar Girls many years later. She always has the most crisp, clean diction.
