If you're lucky enough to receive the UK Drama channel via satellite, then this Thursday 1st February @ 9 pm sees the start of a long overdue re-run of the classic 1976 I, Claudius mini-series.

This is a truly epic 12 part BBC series based on Robert Graves novel and set during the reigns of Roman emperors, Augustus, Tiberius, Calligula and Claudius. It boasts a superb cast including Derek Jacobi, Sian Phillips, Brian Blessed, George Baker, John Hurt and Stewart.
If you thought corruption and dirty dealings amidst the corridors of government were a modern invention, think again!

On the down side, there's still no sign of the BBC broadcasting the 'Best of British' documentary about Patrick.....what are the schedulers up to?
 

In the Yahoo chat on Wed 18 Oct. 2000  with Patrick and Amnesty International's Exec Dir. William F Shulz, one of the questioners asked what new projects he would be appearing in - to which Stewart replied: "I'm planning work for 2001, which will include a TV film for TNT, which my company is co-producing with Hallmark Entertainment, called Boss Lear. Set in the American West in Texas in 1841. It will not be Shakespeare's language. I hope to be doing a major revival of a great 20th century British play in England in the summer. It'll be the first time I've worked on stage (other than A Christmas Carol) in England in 15 years."

Then in a December thisislondon.co.uk  article about Jude Kelly - the artistic Director of West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds -  the following snippet appeared '....And she has enticed Patrick Stewart to Leeds for a forthcoming production of JB Priestley's Johnston over Jordan'

Of course this may all be wishful thinking, but lets hope things do come to fruition - it's been far too long since English theatre audiences could experience Stewart's marvellous stagecraft. 
 

This isn't the first time Patrick's name has appeared at the Grammys; he narrated the 1995 winning Best Spoken Word Album for Children - Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf  (conductor Kent Nagano and Orchestra De L'Opera De Lyon).
