View David Tennant's Hamlet for Free at PBS.org

Hamlet. Dir. Gregory Doran. Perf. David Tennant, Patrick Stewart, Penny Downie, Oliver Ford Davies, and Mariah Gale. 2009. DVD. BBC Warner 2010.
Now's your change to beat Bardfilm to the punch and watch the David Tennant / Patrick Stewart Hamlet for free (Bardfilm hasn't seen it yet)! Hurrah for PBS, which has made the film available in its entirety through Great Performances.

Alternately, you may buy the DVD (its release date is 4 May 2010—tomorrow, if you're reading this on 3 May 2010—today or yesterday or Tuesday fortnight if you're reading this on some other date—the fact that dates may vary is only to be expected when Doctor Who plays Hamlet) by clicking on the image below.

Links: The Film at IMDB. Watch the film at Great Performances.

(and to support Bardfilm as you do so).

Bardfilm is normally written as one word, though it can also be found under a search for "Bard Film Blog." Bardfilm is a Shakespeare blog (admittedly, one of many Shakespeare blogs), and it is dedicated to commentary on films (Shakespeare movies, The Shakespeare Movie, Shakespeare on television, Shakespeare at the cinema), plays, and other matter related to Shakespeare (allusions to Shakespeare in pop culture, quotes from Shakespeare in popular culture, quotations that come from Shakespeare, et cetera).

Unless otherwise indicated, quotations from Shakespeare's works are from the following edition:
Shakespeare, William. The Riverside Shakespeare. 2nd ed. Gen. ed. G. Blakemore Evans. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997.

The very instant that I saw you did / My heart fly to your service; there resides, / To make me slave to it; and, for your sake, / Am I this patient [b]log-man.
