David Tennant to reprise Hamlet for BBC

David Tennant, better known among non-Shax geeks for his starring gig as Dr. Who and his creepy little turn as Barty Crouch, Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is reprising his famous Hamlet for broadcast on BBC television.

We here at bardolatry are doubly excited in that the role of Claudius is to be played by Patrick Stewart, who was a terrific Claudius almost a quarter of a century ago in the BBC version starring Derek Jacobi. It will be great fun to see what he does with the role this time.
