Derek Jacobi - Breaking the code *Mathematics*

Breaking the Code: Biography of Alan Turing (Derek Jacobi, BBC, 1996)

A biography of the English mathematician Alan Turing, who was one of the inventors of the digital computer and one of the key figures in the breaking of the Enigma code, used by the Germans to send secret orders to their U-boats in World War II. Turing was also a homosexual in Britain at a time when this was illegal, besides being a security risk. Adapted for Television Hugh Whitemore wrote a shortened version of the play for television. This was filmed in late 1995, as a production of THE DRAMA HOUSE and WGBH BOSTON for BBC NORTH.The first transmission, to my knowledge, was on 17 September 1996 in Canada, by Showcase Television. It was shown in the United States as a Masterpiece Theater production on 2 February 1997. The first British transmission was on BBC1, 5 February 1997. Filmed for television in a naturalistic suburban setting, rather than on a timeless, expressionist stage set, Breaking the Code inevitably sacrificed many of the elements that made it grip theatre audiences. No stagecraft magic of Derek Jacobi's real-time changes of age: instead the teenage Turing was played by a young actor. The adapted script also lost some of the more special moments of the play. For instance, on the stage, Turing reveals the logical secret of the Bombe on his last holiday on Corfu, but with the irony that it is revealed to someone who does not understand a word. On the television screen, his explanation is given to an Intelligence officer 'John Smith', all irony lost. Hugh <b>...</b>

But we should be doing him an injustice if we stopped here. What is not so obvious, but equally true and perhaps more important if we would estimate his writings correctly, is that there is harmony between this protest and this praise, and the manner in which Rostand composed his dramas. Rostand belongs to the advance guard of his generation not only because of the nature of his intentions and his aspirations, but also because these aspirations were sufficiently potent to give birth to that which one may, without too much exaggeration, call a new technic. No writer for the stage of anything like his finish and popularity has succeeded in producing plays composed so exclusively of lyric idealism.

Derek Jacobi - I, CLAUDIUS audio book

I, CLAUDIUS' by ROBERT GRAVES read by Derek Jacobi "Makes a ripping yarn" The Guardian Historical novel with a human focus. Written in the style of a secret autobiography, it concerns the thoughts and feelings of a Historical figure who was largely isolated for much of his life until middle age. Fusing Historical fact with speculative fiction, Robert Graves uses a tried and tested formula to create an original and moving work, which brings the human aspect to a listener's understanding of the life of The Roman Emperor Claudius. A political as well as historical work, the story mainly discusses the relationships between the ideas of liberty and stability within society, and which of them is best. Claudius is the perfect vehicle to use for examining such an argument, as in his younger life he was committed to all the ideals of liberty, whereas in later life he came to see the advantages, societal and personal, of stability. Like Grave's other works, such as Goodbye to all that (also published by CSA Word), I, Claudius is a success because it is intelligent, historical and insightful, whilst retaining the charm of a great plot and a narrative style that are joys to get involved in.

Henry V - Let This Acceptance Take - Derek Jacobi - Kenneth Branagh 1989

Derek Jacobi as Chorus recites the closing lines of Kenneth Branagh's 1989 adaptation of Henry V by William Shakespeare. Thus far, with rough and all-unable pen, Our bending author hath pursu'd the story, In little room confining mighty men, Mangling by starts the full course of their glory. Small time, but in that small most greatly lived This star of England. Fortune made his sword, By which the world's best garden he achieved, And of it left his son imperial lord. Henry the Sixth, in infant bands crown'd King Of France and England, did this king succeed; Whose state so many had the managing, That they lost France and made his England bleed: Which oft our stage hath shown; and, for their sake, In your fair minds let this acceptance take.

Hamlet Derek Jacobi BBC 1980

"There can be no such thing as a definitive Hamlet, let alone Hamlet. Nonetheless this relatively uncut version is the standard by which the Murphy family for many years tended to judge performances of Shakespeares most famous play. This simple production boasts one of the finest collection of Shakespearean actors ever assembled. Jacobis Prince of Denmark is a complex and embittered intellectual, whose occasional bursts of love, faith and even fury are transformed within an instant into weary skepticism. His first resort in any dilemma is to let fire with irony on his nearest and dearest. In a way, though hardly innovative—too many actors seem desperated to find (or invent) something wholly new in this too-famous character— Jacobi is giving us a very postmodern, almost deconstructed Hamletattractive, sensitive, even high-minded on the surface, but underneath a man whose sanity and even noble intentions are ultimately untrustworthy. Patrick Stewart portrays a Claudius wholly up to the challenge of overturning Hamlets world. No lecherous drunkard he, as in many production, but the capable CEO of the troubled state of Denmark. Claire Bloom is the most beautiful, regal and sympathetic Gertrude Ive ever seen. Hamlet misjudges her, too, if he thinks this woman is too old for passion. She is also a queen worth killing for, making Patrick Stewarts job of finding Claudius motivations all the easier." (Debra Murphy) NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED SDJ Fanforum forums <b>...</b>

In the opinion of many, this fact is sufficient to bar him from a place among the great names of literature; but it also makes it impossible to maintain that he does not represent the feelings of his age; and it must be admitted that in one or two plays he has given to them a peculiarly lofty expression. If ever the non-intellectual, the sensuous and the emotional have a right to our admiration, then certainly the plays of Rostand must stand high in our esteem. They are beautiful in <b>...</b>

Doctor Who - The Problem With Multi Doctor Stories

Thatsthewayitgoes09 brought this to my attention on a latest video of his. What is the problem with having Classic Doctors with Modern Ones. Well apart from the money aspect you also have to look at the age aspect. The story will have to be very cleverly written and will have to explain why some of The Doctors have aged since the last time we saw them. There are other ways it could be played. Culshaw could play the Fourth Doctor. David Troughton the 2nd. Someone somewhere could try and play the 1st Doctor and I can think of nobody better than Derek Jacobi. If you saw him play The Master you would know. My god he would be brilliant. So this is my line up: Derek Jacobi David Troughton Sean Pertwee John Culshaw Peter Davison Colin Baker sylvester mccoy Paul Mcgann christopher eccleston David Tennant Matt Smith As you can see this would be a brilliant line up and would be a tribute to their fathers. Culshaw is just brilliant and does an ace fourth doctor. Jacobi was ace as The Professor and would be brilliant as the 1st Doctor. He looked just like him anyway. David Troughton looks and sounds like his Father and would be a welcome addition.

The question naturally arises, therefore, By what means was Rostand able to hold the sympathy of the audience while at the same time making them willing to accept his "leçons d'âme"?
