I also played a number of leading roles in television dramas: in 1974 there was the seventeenth-century play Bellamira, a thriller, Coffin for the Bride, and another wonderful Jacobean play, The Changeling; in 1975 I did Caesar and Claretta, the story of Mussolini and Claretta Petacci, followed by The Philanthropist by Christopher Hampton, The Little Minister by J. M. Barrie, and The Apple Cart by Shaw.
