1995 |
| People |
Simon Callow (Charles II) |
| Plot |
Tony Palmer directs this prize-winning film about the great English composer Henry Purcell. Very little is known about his life, but the script solves this problem by launching a group of actors in the 1960s on a voyage of discovery into the 1660s and late-17th century England, the extraordinary period in which Purcell lived.
But it is Purcell's music which is the driving force of the drama, with a stunning soundtrack conducted by John Eliot Gardiner.
Features an all-star cast with, among others, Simon Callow as Charles, Michael Ball as Henry Purcell, Letitia Dean as Barbara, Nina Young as Mrs Purcell, Corin Redgrave as William III, and Bill Kenwright as Bill. |

| Concept |
It was basically a talk show with celebrities that would start with a discussion round, including all guests of the show and a current topic. It would include interviews with the celebrities, a cooking spot, an interview with a non celebrity, who has an interesting story to tell and for some time there was a fun challenge between two Michael fans. This was dropped in the second half of the run. The following years there was talk about a possible second season. Unfortunately that never materialised and our guess is that Michael's pretty crammed schedule was to blame. Michael was a hit with the audiences and had very impressive viewing figures. |
