    BBC Two will debut the film adaption of the Mike Bartlett Play King Charles III 09/05/17 9pm

    Mostly the original cast with it also being Tim Pigott-Smith's last performance too I reckon.

    I'm always interested in film/tv adaptions though in my opinion rarely match the theatrical version.

    It's causing some controversy so well be interesting to hear what people think 2moro night.

    I watched it on BBC2 and was absolutely enthralled by it! Loved the Shakespearean usage of plot and language and Tim Pigott-Smiths performance was probably his best ever role.I really felt sorry for Charles as he is plotted against by William and Kate!

    Me to I'm raging I didn't go see the play now.

    I really felt for Charles too, fascinating play.

    Tim Pigott-Smith was brilliant.
