Peter in Paradise. Rory McCann as Peter the Great. A 2003 drama upon St Petersburg's tercentenary.

Music copyright muting means that a tiny amount of script is lost. This is a little unfortunate in view of the film's title. At 1:57 Peter: 'And Peter is in Paradise!' Kikin: 'Paradise? Right.....' At 57:09 Peter:' But look what I did - I built paradise!' If subtitles are turned on the missing script has been added. This is a visually-stylised drama about Peter the Great's foundation of St Petersburg., Peter the Great - Rory McCann Alexander Menshikov - Crispin Bonham-Carter Domenico Trezzini - Ronan Vibert Catherine - Sally Hurst Fyodor Kikin - Lalor Roddy Crown Prince Alexei - Matt Canavan Tsarista - Emma Buckley Fyodor Romodanovsky - Christopher Fulford Maria Menshikov - Nathalie Press Yakim Volkov - Jon Key ancient boyar - Martin Friend Peter the Second - Brock Everitt-Elwick Director and producer - Mary Mcmurray Written by Gwyneth Hughes
