The Taming of the Shrew (BBC)

Jonathan Miller's sympathetic, vibrant and hilarious adaptation brilliantly blends the more subtle essences of Shakespeare's classic comedy with the play's undeniable sence of rambunctious fun. John Cleese as Petruchio is an inspired piece of casting, and he is admirably supported by a distinguished cast of exceptional merit.
