In February 2007, "The Riddle", directed by Brendan Foley and starring Jacobi, Vinnie Jones, and Vanessa Redgrave, was screened at Berlin EFM. Jacobi plays twin roles: first a present-day London tramp and then the ghost of Charles Dickens. In March 2007, the BBC's children's programme "In the Night Garden..." started its run of one hundred episodes, with Jacobi as the narrator. He played Nell's grandfather in ITV's Christmas 2007 adaptation of "The Old Curiosity Shop", and returned to the stage to play Malvolio in Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" (2009) for the Donmar Warehouse at Wyndham's Theatre in London. The role won him the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor. He appears in five 2009 films: "", "Hippie Hippie Shake", "Endgame", "Adam Resurrected" and Charles Dickens's England. In 2010, he returned to "I, Claudius", as Augustus in a radio adaptation. In 2011, he was part of a medieval epic, "Ironclad", which also starred James Purefoy and Paul Giamatti, as the ineffectual Reginald de Cornhill, castellan of Rochester castle.
