Review: British Legends of Stage & Screen - Sir Ian McKellen

In 2012 Voice Productions Ltd. and Elysian Films (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) did a very special series on eight most wonderful actresses and actors, each show running to about 45 minutes. It was splendidly done, offering these outstanding personalities an excellent opportunity at looking back on their achievements, including video snippets and photographs of their major performances. 

The full list: Sir Derek Jacobi, Claire Bloom, Sir Michael Gambon, Dame Diana Rigg, Sir Christopher Lee, Glenda Jackson, Michael York, Sir Ian McKellen.

It was published on DVD on Dec 10, 2012 by Odeon Entertainment and has since gone out of production so you will find it difficult to find anything but a second hand copy, if that. Fortunately enough, a quarter of an hour of the best items is on Youtube (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
