Truly, Madly, Alan Rickman
11.15 pm BBC2
Alan Rickman has carved out a lucrative niche in Hollywood as a mad-eyed villain, stealing scenes in Die Hard and Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. In Britain, he's probably best known as the dead lover in Truly, Madly, Deeply, and for an impressive list of theatre credits. But now he is taking the lead role in a big-budget film for the first time, in the Dennis Potter-scripted Mesmer.
The programme follows the actor to Hungary, where he is filming the story of Franz Anton Mesmer, the 18th-century Austrian physician and pioneer of hypnotism. It's a doubly significant step for Rickman: as well as starring in Mesmer, he is also producing and helping to raise the capital and find buyers and distributors. Among those talking about the actor are Die Hard producer Joel Silver and Mesmer director Roger Spotiswoode.
