As many of you know, I do not watch much television. This evening I chose an episode of #WhoDoYouThinkYouAre? from the #BBC starring Dame #JudiDench. All the connections to #Hamlet would be unbelievable were this fiction. I spent half the programme horripilating!

Who Do You Think You Are? - Series 18: 2. Dame Judi Dench

Judi Dench begins her journey by trying to find out how her father won his gallantry medals during the First World War. Her investigations then lead her to 16th-century Denmark.

A couple pics of the #FirstQuarto of #Hamlet. If you've never explored the First Quarto, it's quite different from the "traditional" versions of the play, which are usually based on the #SecondQuarto and/or the #FirstFolio.

There was this king sitted in his garden all alane
When his brother in his ear poured a little bit o’ henbane,
Stole his brother’s crown and his money and his widow;
But the dead king walked and got his son and said, “Hey listen, kiddo…”

O, God! God!
Hoe muf, langwijlig, plat en noodeloos,
Schijnt al dat drijven van de wereld mij!
