Part Two of a five-part educational acting series. The programme follows some of the best-known actors in Hollywood as they test their Shakespearean mettle, joining with their British counterparts at a master class in New York City conducted by the Royal Shakespeare Company. The three-day master class is conducted by the RSC's Voice Director Cicely Berry and Head of Voice Andrew Wade. Among the actors taking part are Samuel L. Jackson, Emily Watson, Robert Sean Leonard, Helen Hunt, Blythe Danner, Toby Stephens, Kate Burton, Victor Garber and Clare Danes.

Patrick Melrose is a new kind of family saga which takes a scathing and sardonic view of the upper-classes, shining an unforgiving light on the privilege, greed cruelty and vulnerabilities that lie within their ranks.

Played to perfection by Benedict Cumberbatch, Patrick himself is many things: an aristocratic addict, a rakish and outrageously funny playboy, but he is also a man living as a victim of the sins of his parents.

Based on the celebrated series of semi-autobiographical novels by Edward St Aubyn, this intelligent, beautifully told 5-episode miniseries follows Patrick as he embarks on a harrowing yet humorous decades-spanning odyssey to come to terms with the effects of childhood trauma.
