That the narrator of 'in the night garden' Derek Jakobi is also the narrator and in the final scene of the 'inside no 9' Christmas special.

He's been in loads of stuff including Day of the Jackal, Godford Park, Gladiator and The Kings Speech.

 

Sir Derek Jacobi's one of the most recognisable British actors around - he's possible most remembered for playing Claudius in "I, Claudius", and for playing Cadfael too. As you say, he's done loads of stuff, including a couple of roles in "Tales Of The Unexpected". And, whilst it's a bit of a blot on an otherwise respectable career, he's been most recognisable to recent audiences playing alongside Sir Ian McKellen in "Vicious".

Is this a real post? If so, can't wait till someone clues you in about John Gielgud's pre-"Arthur 2: On the Rocks" career.

The best thing I ever learned about Jacobi was in that old thread on here about school nicknames, where three different posters said they had a kid in their school that everyone called Cadfael. If you extrapolate that out to the rest of the school population nationwide, that's a lot of kids known as Cadfael.
