Episode notes

What’s it like being one of Hollywood’s greatest villains - with a heart of gold?

Alan Rickman played a professor, a doctor, an angel, a terrorist - but above all - he was a brother, son, husband and friend. 

Actress and collaborator Juliet Stevenson and brothers David and Michael take us inside the life of the star of the stage and big screen.

In part one, we find out how Alan’s love of art would eventually lead him to tread the boards - and take Hollywood hostage.
