War and Peace dramatisation

[sawyl]

I've just discovered that BBC7 is repeating the excellent dramatisation of War and Peace that Radio 4 first ran a decade or so ago. Hearing it again, I remember how much I liked Simon Russell Beale as Pierre Bezukov and made me realise how much his performance has coloured my reading of the novel — my mental image of Pierre and my idea of how his voice sounds are both based on Russell Beale.
