Do you mean the Ian McKellen one?
I loved it, especially the use of London landmarks for the set, eg the palace being in St Pancras railways station (magically relocated by the river).
Though why they cast Mark Ramprakash as Henry VII beats me. In answer to Jacqui, Peter Miles would do a lovely job.
Sadly, they lost the scene from the stage version where Margaret interrupts them at dinner, and everyone jumps/recoils, except for Richard, who calmly continues to sip his soup.
Warning: any resemblance between characters in the above play and those actually living in the 15th century is entirely coincidental.
