Richard III

(Shakespeare Month title sequence)

Oan: (reading Richard III) Now is the winter of our discon ... Ah, (puts the book down) let's move on to something more high-concept, a history play out of history.

Oan: (v/o) Richard III, addition to being one of Shakespeare's most popular plays, is also one of Shakespeare's most popular characters. It's hard not to see why: Every actor loves to play a villain and Richard of Gloucester is one of the most fun, and challenging. Brought to life by many of history's greatest Shakespeareans: Richard Burbidge, David Garric, Edmund Kean, John Barrymore, Laurence Olivier, Al Pacino, Peter Dinkledge, Kevin Spacey, and Mark Rylance have all donned the hump.

Oan: And so naturally, this character is quoted by everyone.

(cut to Family Guy episode "The King is Dead": Stewie is up onstage putting a shirt on his shoulder to look like a hump)

Stewie: Now is the winter of our discontent.

Oan: Everyone.

(Cut to clip from "The Goodbye Girl" Andrew Garfield (played by Richard Dreyfuss) is in the library reading Richard III)

Andrew: Now is the winter of our discontent. May I have a five minute break, please?

Oan: Everyone.

(cut to clip from Red Dwarf)

Rimmer: Now ............ And that's all I can remember.
