(in honour of PBS finally getting round to showing it here on Great Performances)

* Horatio, out. Geronimo!, in.

* "Get thee to a Federation penal colony!"

* New script for The Murder of Gonzago: "To play the king, queen, four.... wait. We've seen this play before."

* Rosencrantz and Guildenstern appear throughout the production in red tunics.

* "To Beeb, or not to Beeb...."

* Hamlet's final line changed to "Today is a good day to die!"

* Ten keeps getting distracted when Laertes tosses off the "Rose of May" line about Ophelia.

* Wil Wheaton added to cast as Hamlet's annoying know-it-all of a little nephew, Egglet.

* Swords replaced in all battles with sonic screwdrivers.

And the final change to the production:

* Hamlet and Claudius spend the final hour on the set of "Inside the Actors Studio," chatting with James Lipton about how bloody hard it is to take over a classic role from another actor and make it your own, knowing full well that someone, eventually, is going to take it over from you.
