Romeo And Juliet (BBC)
Shakespeare's tragic love story was among the first of the BBC's Shakespeare series to be filmed, and possibly one of the most faithful to the play. With an incredible pool of British talent to draw on, the Beeb's renditions are as captivating as ever, in this case John Gielgud, Alan Rickman and Michael Hordern star alongside Patrick Ryecart and Rebecca Saire as the star-crossed lovers.
