Christians Being Thrown to the Lions During Caesar's Time!

While watching this play on a dvd with a more popular and well known, Pygmalion, Sir Billy Connolly played Androcles. Jane Freeman played his wife. While the plays are somewhat dated like taped indoors at BBC studio with limited number of cast and crew. It is worth watching to realize how brilliant Billy Connolly can be apart from his comedic history. It's nice to see Jane Freeman away from "The Last of The Summer Wine." There are well-known British cast members too like Anna Calder-Marshall, Bernard Bresslaw, Peter Copley and others. It's only an hour about Christians being thrown to the lions during Caesar's time.
