BBC Two - A Double Life

A renowned actor becomes unable to differentiate between his stage roles and real life.

Powerful drama in which a renowned stage actor (Ronald Colman) becomes increasingly unable to differentiate between his stage roles and real life.

Powerful drama in which a renowned stage actor becomes increasingly unable to differentiate between his stage roles and real life. Usually charming and well-mannered, he begins to fly into murderous rages at the slightest provocation - an affliction that leads to tragedy when he is cast as Othello in a Broadway show. Ronald Colman won an Oscar for his performance.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
