David Tennant & Company - A Line Of Hamlets

Minchin was followed by famous Hamlets Benedict Cumberbatch ("To be or not to be") and David Tennant ("To be or not to be, that is the question"). Rory Kinnear, the award-winning stage actor best known for slumming it in the James Bond franchise, suggested "To be or not to be, that is the question." Harriet Walter ("To be or not to be"), who has been in just about everything but is probably best known in the US for playing Lady Shackleton on Downton Abbey, hasn’t played Hamlet … "yet," she added significantly.

Things took a turn toward the A-list with the arrival of Sir Ian McKellen ("To be or not to be, that is the question") and Dame Judi Dench ("To be or not to be"). But they were all upstaged by Prince Charles himself, who gave us the definitive line reading: "To be or not to be, that is the question."

It's worth watching the whole thing, which is incredibly charming. In particular, keep an eye out for the recurring debate over whether or not there's a skull in the scene, and for the look on Cumberbatch's face when everyone called him Eddie Redmayne.
