    In which Shakespeare play filmed by the BBC did John Cleese play the main male character?

    Question #96223. Asked by jensj2. (May 31 08 7:12 PM)


    Squisher

    		It was Taming of the Shrew. Unfortunately, poor John did not get very good reviews on his acting...

    		Cleese once played the role of Petruchio in the BBC version of The Bard's Romeo and Juliet.

    That the one?
