Julian Barnes reviews two very different interpretations of Cymbeline in the same TV cycle
Several furlongs understandably separate the left hand of the BBC from the right one. Only rarely, though, do we witness such a cameo of intermanual incomprehension as occurred last week within their Shakespeare cycle: the right hand seizing a hammer and snappishly nailing the left hand to the arm of the chair.
The Bardathon is generally impressive, rarely less than worthy, and often – by making available the obscurer plays – simply very useful. Its handmaiden series Shakespeare in Perspective (BBC2), in which specialist non-specialists sound off about the week's play, is, though usefully conceived, rather iffy in practice. Some of the temporary sages hired have been decidedly unnerved by the task of "introducing Shakespeare", able to handle it only by diving off into larky self-reference ("Gosh, fancy little me talking about big Bill …").
