I can't take Hamlet seriously anymore because of this scene

"The man has no instincts. He just stinks" :=)

The man has no instincts, just stinks

Can you watch the full pilot anywhere?

served so hard they had to remake the pilot

1:38 Pilot John is kind of a dad while we never see that again in later episodes

emotional.

beautiful video 😍

I'll love this clip till the day I die. UUUUUGHH!

If Frankenstein's monster had a child with a normal woman, they're son would look like Kryten

I really like the look of some of those sets

2024 anyone? bad quality but still

What a shame it had got crap by series 8

They brought the crew back but never explain what happen to them when they abandoned red drawf

I have a friend who genuinely believes that this performance was so good it killed Jacobi's chance of being big in America. That he was so convincing as a bad actor that producers actually believed it and that's why he didn't end up getting big Hollywood roles later on the way his contemporaries like Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee did. I don't necessarily agree but I think it's an interesting theory. And it would be quite ironic that an episode riffing on the phenomenon of classically trained British actors becoming American Sci-fi icons would be the very thing that prevented Jacobi from going down that route.

Slightly?

Wonder where Mycroft was in this version? When John was about to learn he’s Sherlock’s brother? Also, Sherlock is such a young ray of sunshine in this version 😊

This one always cracks me up in laughter 😂

Its odd hearing Cat with an english accent.

“I die Horatio. GASP!!!”

I feel like this episode could be a mock of William Shatner lol

What a great bunch of smeg ups! Though not my personal favourite season the gang always crack me up! I recently met Chris Barrie at Cardiff Comic Con. What a guy! 😅

I can picture the director saying: 'OK. We need your character to recite Shakespeare..................but badly. So we were thinking...." Derek Jacobi: 'Got it!' Director: '....Ummm.....we think it.....' Derek: 'No. I've got it! Roll camera....' Director: 'OK.....Places, everybody!......Annnnnnnd.....ACTION!' Derek: "EEEAAAUUGGGHHHHH!'

This is hysterical! Of course, it takes a remarkable actor to pretend to act THAT bad!

Utterly fucking priceless. An equally unforgettable performance was given by another Shakespearian, Patrick Stewart

Probably my favourite ever Frasier episode. Derek Jacobi was outstanding in it

Classic episode, one of my all time favourites.

To be honest, I would both watch and unironically enjoy a play with that level of hammy overacting. XD

I remember watching this as a kid and thinking it was hilarious. Now as an adult, I still find this hilarious! The deep gasping sells it for me.

That gasping sound 🤣

I get cramps from laughing so hard at this part lol

A bit like Mrs Hyacinth Bucket singing false when in fact she had a great voice 😂❤

Saw D J as Hamlet in Elsinore Castle, he is just great 🇩🇰

only someone so good could be so bad on purpose while being good enough to make you laugh

This is one of my “rainy day” Frasier episodes- no matter what type of long day I have had, I know I will start giggling myself to tears with this episode! And yes, as everyone has already said, the fact that this is the very Hamlet Legend himself makes it about a million times funnier❤😂🙏

Saw a I Claudius marathon at the National Film Theatre. Brilliant on the big screen.

This was always one of my favorite episodes. I grew up in a small town with a pretty lively community theater scene and I probably knew a dozen Jackson Hedley's growing up. Passionate actors who had absolutely no idea how awful they were. 😂

Was laughing so hard throughout this whole episode. Derek Jacobi was amazing, he is hilarious.

What’s this?

This scene is what made Winston Duke get into acting

These two are much dumber than most folks realize. 🤣

WHo Is FiRInGgGg?!?!

He'll always be Claudius to me.

One word to this: Gay.

''EEEEEGHHHHHHH!!!'' 🤣🤣🤣

...this is not the Sherlock i watched where can I find this, whats the name the episode and series

This was a stroke of genius. Getting a well respected Shakespearian actor to play a terrible Shakespearian actor. I cannot stop laughing every time I see this scenes

This had me in stitches

Yes i am his doctor

'Wish I Could Stay' is the best yet most underrated song in this episode. When anyone talks about 'Under Your Spell' or Tara's plot in this episode, they totally forget about this coda song.
