So many wonderful productions I'd forgotten all about! Send in the Clowns was perfection - I could listen to Judi Dench all night.

I've just watched it on Demand and in HD and found the sound quality decidedly iffy. Did anyone notice that in 'real time' or is it something to do with the download?

Judy Dench was fabulous and I really enjoyed Maggie Smith in Hay Fever.

Judi Dench made me cry. DH in fits over the Alan Ayckbourn. I think that actress is excellent

I have recorded it - it clashed with Montalbano (which I failed to follow completely!) - can't wait to watch it.

Fantastic program, our local cinema show live streaming of plays from the National Theatre, Thursday I was lucky enough to get a ticket for Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature and Jonny Lee Millar as Victor. Hoping to see Warhorse next Feb.

Wonderful evening, such actors, a very well presented "show" I felt quite emotional when dear Joey aka Warhorse came on too!

Wonderful! Made me realise how lucky we are to call it a galaxy of stars would be an understatement. Realised how many of the productions we have been fortunate to see and enjoy too.

Difficult to pick out the performances of the night, there were so many, But here goes:
Judy Dench.... Bring on the Clowns
The transformation of Warhorse
James Corden
and the lovely Alan Bennett........ for starters

Me too Gally in between peeping at GN on my Tablet. It was very good indeed.

I have been watching this as a distraction tonight. Amazing. How I envy all who live near London. We have good theatre in Edinburgh, but this is just mind blowing. I will have to make a serious effort in the future to do some Theatre breaks in the Capitol.
