According to the BBC Radio Press Information, Hardy’s relationship with the part goes back to 1944 when he saw Ralph Richardson play Falstaff - a performance he watched 21 times (BBC Radio Press Information, Week 16, 15-21 April 1995, p. 11).
- History
- The first part of Henry IV was broadcast a week earlier (April 16, 2005).
