As is true of so many, I loved this series and hope ! hope! hope! that it will be issued on DVD. It was far superior, in my view, to the subsequent Wars of the Roses. Please, BBC - make us happy and take our money! In addition to the fine actors mentioned by the others, I add Paul Daneman - unfortunately now dead - who was the perfect Richard III. When I read Shakespeare now, these are the voices I hear, the phrasing I remember. Daneman saying "So wise so young they say do ne'er live long" Or Jack May as the Duke of York - "Cold news for me, for I had hopes of France ..." Or Robert Hardy chuckling at the thought of old men remembering "with 'vantages" their deeds on St. Crispin's Day. I want to see it again!
