The King’s Speech caught me by surprise. I went to see it expecting it to be about the abdication of King Edward VIII. Well, silly me… the story was much more interesting and provides a good vehicle for both Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. However, I got the biggest kick out of the casting of Derek Jacobi as the Archbishop of Canterbury. The inside joke is his famous stuttering role in the BBC series I, Claudius.
