Sir Derek Jacobi is an icon of Stage and Screen ... known for his work at the Royal National Theatre, has a BAFTA, Olivier, Emmy, Screen Guild and Tony Award winner and to top it all off Derek was given a Knighthood for his services to theatre by Queen Elizabeth II.  Not bad for a boy who grew up in Essex, the son of a corner shop owner and a secretary. From Leytonstone and the Leyton Players to Hamlet at Edinburgh Fringe and a scholarship to Cambridge.

With peers such as Ian McKellen and Trevor Nunn and as one of the founding members of the National Theatre and invited to be a member of the Birmingham Rep, Derek is an enormous talent with Shakespeare running through his blood.

Six decades and so many favourites ... such as ‘I, Claudius’, ‘Gladiator I’, ‘Gladiator II’, ‘Last Tango in Halifax’, ‘The Crown’, ‘The Day of the Jackal’, ‘Nanny McPhee’, ‘Gosford Park’, The Kings Speech’ and much in between.

His Shakespeare work is vast with notable performances in Hamlet and Othello to name a few. And not to forget ... his audio book work as the narrator for the BBC children's series ‘In the Night Garden’. An incredible body of work.

Richard Clifford actor and producer,

Richard starred in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ (1993) and ‘Loves Labours Lost’, directed by Kenneth Branagh.  Taken part in the MA course at Brunel University - The Shakespeare Authorship Question and has been a director at the Folger for 20 years to study the collection and look at the “Oxford Geneva” bible.

With Richard in the driving seat for the evening, there will be an incredible of insight, joy of Shakespeare and so much more as he is also Derek’s partner since the 1970’s.

John Sergeant the former Chief Political Correspondent for the BBC and ITN Political Editor.

Many people will remember John as one of Britain's most popular and respected broadcasters and authors. His award-winning career as a political journalist has been as lengthy as it has been successful and seen him interview big political hitters like Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair.

In recent years though John has returned to his first love of light entertainment and can be seen regularly on programmes like The One Show, Have I Got News For You, QI, Room 101 and the News Quiz, and of course there were those appearances on Strictly……Indeed Sergeant’s two left feet approach to the arts of the ballroom consistently found him at the  bottom of the judges score board but the public loved him an d he retrained week after week. He finally left the show in Week 10 saying: "The trouble is that there is now a real danger that I might win the competition. Even for me that would be a joke too far.”

More recently there have been well received documentaries as well including John Sergeant's Tourist Trail, Tracks of Empire - about the Indian Railways, and Britain's First Photo Album about the pioneering photography of Francis Frith.

Presented in association with Clive Conway Productions.

An evening of wartime letters between the actress Celia Johnson and her husband Peter Fleming read by their daughter, Lucy Fleming, and Simon Williams.

These touching and amusing letters from Celia to her husband tell of her experiences during the war – from coping with a large isolated house full of evacuated children, learning to drive a tractor, dealing with rationing, becoming an auxiliary police-woman and all the while accepting offers, when she could get away, to act. She went on to act for David Lean, Noel Coward, wartime propaganda films & broadcasts, and ultimately in 1945 starring in Brief Encounter for which she received an Oscar nomination.

Peter Fleming was away for most of the war - he writes about his adventures and trials working on deception in India and the Far East. Not only are the letters highly engaging but they also provide a fascinating historical insight into a time of true austerity and fearfulness.
