British Legends of Stage and Screen

Synopsis: This Sky Arts TV documentary series features interviews with some of Britain’s finest post-war actors, including Sir Derek Jacobi, Claire Bloom, Sir Michael Gambon, Dame Diana Rigg, Sir Christopher Lee, Glenda Jackson, Michael York and Sir Ian McKellen. Most of the actors in the series came to prominence in the social upheaval of the post-war years, and gained their experience through work in repertory theatres, training at RADA and acting at the new National Theatre which was established by Sir Laurence Olivier at the Old Vic. Many of them also appeared on the screen in films of the British Free Cinema movement.
