That would be, The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling, a really funny, frothy mini-series adaptation of Henry Fielding’s novel, featuring a great cast. Think Samantha Morton, Brian Blessed, Lindsey Duncan, Max Beesley, Kathy Burke, Celia Emry, John Sessions, Frances de la Tour, etc etc etc …definitely recommended.

If you can’t find it online, it’s a steal on Amazon.

*hint: it’s actually Georgian era and based on the gif clip, you’d rightfully anticipate a substantial amount of sass, low level aristo-hypocrisy and mischief from Michelle Fairley’s character…and others…

PopcornTaxi - Game of Thrones: Michelle Fairley Live On Stage

(Source: michelle-fairley.com)

Which characters would each of you like to have scenes with?

WILLIAMS:  Well, I never did anything with Emilia [Clarke] or Harry Lloyd.  He’s gone now, but I got on really well with him, and it would’ve been cool to do scenes.  I miss everyone in Winterfell.  It would be nice to go back to the family.  But, it would be cool to work with people that we’ve never worked with before, or even met, as characters.

HEMPSTEAD WRIGHT:  I’d like to see Robb again.  Ever since Robb left in Season 2, Bran has had to make decisions for Winterfell.  I think it would take a bit of weight off Bran’s shoulders, if he met Robb again.

FAIRLEY:  I’d love a scene with Cersei.  I’d love for Catelyn Stark and Cersei to have a confrontation.  I love Lena [Headey] anyway, so I’d love that.

“I thought it might challenge people’s perceptions and I’m proud to play the part.” Applause for Gwendoline

Michelle: “If I could play another character it would be Tyrion, cos he gets lots of sex!” [laughs]
