For all you fans of Derek Jacobi (a.k.a. Nicodemus to most of us in the NIMH community), if you were wondering just what the old chap is up to these days, might I suggest that you see the Academy Award winning film "The King's Speech." He plays the Archbishop in this film and does it rather well I might add.

Peace :)

I didn't know he played Nicodemus, but I could give the movie a look anyways.

Derek also made a notable appearance in the 2007 Doctor Who episode Utopia. Throughout the episode his character is called Professor Yana but in the last 10 minutes he reveals his true identity, The Master. The Master is the Doctor's oldest enemies going all the way back to the Jon Pertwee era (the third doctor) in the early 1970s.
Sadly Jacobi only plays the master for about 5 minutes as regenerates into a form played by John Simm, who was great in Life On Mars but not so good here.
