It's amazing how clearly Shakespeare's genius shines through when his work is properly acted and not just recited by bored high school students who could not care less.
Couldn't*
People don’t talk about Roger Allan’s voice enough!
Like honey and thunder.
Over a year and not one single downvote. Good, I don't have to go medieval on anybody. Allam is an utterly fantastic actor.
oh yeah, he was fantastic as Prospero in V for Vendetta.
How do these series not have more views?! These are all amazing!
This is superb. It chills to the bone.
Indeed. I truly miss this style of acting
I don't know why but I always see this guy around... I live in California and in the last 3 years I've been to the UK twice. Saw him out and about both times. The first time walking around in Oxford, on a break from Endeavour filming I guess, and the second time he was sitting at a table next to me in a restaurant in Soho. :)
elizabeth moore ; :)!
Great actor, whether doing comedy (Thick of It) drama (Endeavor) or proper stag acting!
Chills.
Completely wonderful..
Wow, Peter Mannion’s career really took a turn after leaving office
He’s bored of this, he’s going for a twix.
OMG.He is fantastic.
love Roger

Beautiful!
Wow! Quite epic indeed. Excellent rendition.
Delightful!!
This is so well done. :-)
He is slumming it on Endeavor, but they are lucky to have him, all the same.
England Prevails!
Roger Allan needs to do more voice work
Acting!
Great voice, great actor. But the register is way too subdued for the actual scene. Lear is a lot crazier and wilder in this scene.
I'm bored of this. I'm going for a Twix.
Can’t really take this solo seriously when you realize that this is a fart joke in disguise
hate
Never liked Shakespeare, please don't tell me that i am getting into it. His collected works have been gathering dust in my library for at least 15 years.
Disappointing! He put so little into it! Yet his Falstaff was glorious. Odd.
This isn't acting. This is reciting. You might as well be listening to the radio. Where is the emotion other than the one level he "plays" this? This is high school level acting and nothing more. Someone below wrote "chills." Really? Thank you, next!
