I In 1995 the producer John Theocharis recorded a friendly conversation with Sir John Gielgud at the actor's magnificent Buckinghamshire home. Brilliant, self-critical and light-hearted as ever, Gielgud talked about his childhood, his acting family circle, his success and his failures, his famous voice, the friendships and resentments of his world, the inevitability of his death. His comments, broadcast now for the first time, are interwoven with illustrations from some of his historic performances. Producer John Theocharis
