The Duke | BFI Q&A with Jim Broadbent

Actor Jim Broadbent and producer Nicky Bentham talk about The Duke, the final film by director Roger Michell.
Based on real events, The Duke is set in 1961 when Kempton Bunton (Broadbent), a 60-year-old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London - the first (and only) theft in the gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he’d return the painting if the government provided free TV to the elderly - only 50 years later did the full story emerge.
