Urban Myths: Orson Welles in Norwich

[Wellesnet]

Britain's Sky Arts channel will offer Urban Myths: Orson Welles in Norwich. It will star Robbie Coltrane and is set in 1972 when Welles accepts work at Norwich TV station to help fund F for Fake. (Anglia Television in Norwich produced Orson Welles Great Mysteries and Survival, which Welles narrated.)

Interesting to note the above with regard to Welles featuring Robbie Coltrane. Coltrane is a Welles fan himself and played Falstaff in Kenneth Brannagh's top notch film of Henry V in 1989. I certainly regard this film as better than the 1944 version, which i find a little stiff. I have just watched a trailer of Coltrane in the above role and he has the head mannerisms, more so than any other, down to a tee.
