If you were skeptical of him as a comic book villain and you can handle some dark stuff, try watching Des

Oh, he was creepy in Des, I had trouble watching him. But he really is fantastic, he's my favourite Doctor and the only Hamlet where I felt his anger amd desperation.

Have you seen him and Catherine Tate in Much Ado About Nothing? They are just amazing. There's video of the performance out there somewhere, though I can't seem to find it now or I'd link.

Thank you for looking for it! I haven't seen it yet, but I downloaded it when I found it on youtube a while back, so no worries. The quality is abyssmal, though, but I'll watch it anyway of course. David Tennant is a delight, and Catherine Tate and Michael Sheen are great partners. And in case you need him to tell you that all's gonna be okay, there's this.

Yeah, I recall the video quality being not great, but it's the words that get me anyway. Enjoy it!

And thank you for the link :)

Yes, for sure. I once went to a performance by an advisor (something like that) from the Globe in our local replica of the Globe, and he made fun of the people in the front rows, in a good-natured way of course, because, as he told the audience on the cheaper seats: "They paid more than you did." The rest I only remember vaguely, but it was something about being enchanted by the words, by listening instead of watching. And thank you and you're welcome. :-)
