Hollywood Greats

I started taking notice of this programme (in 2006) when they really started paying attention to the fantastic actors of Hollywood. Basically for three episodes, at least twice a year, Jonathan Ross gives all all the information we would want to know about an actor/actress, and why they were/are so admired/acclaimed by other actors, and the public. The only three episodes, or rather focused stars, I have seen so far have been Harrison Ford, Jack Lemmon and Marlon Brando, but all have been really good with attention to detail concerning their histories. I really look forward to each programme and which star is going to be discussed and focused. Very good!
