Shakespeare & Hathaway

[Mrsmadevans]

Been watching this and love it! Very entertaining and well acted imho , just the job for afternoon telly .

I’m surprised how good it is for that time slot. I’ve always like Mark Benton but he usually is a side kick, nice to see him in a lead role.

We're only a week in and already Sebastian is one of my favourite television characters.

Found this today & I'm loving it.

In case anyone's interested in another good show, I can highly recommend Frankie Drake on Alibi.

The Coroner is not as lighthearted as S&H it was more serious but like S&H there is some lovely scenery and lovely properties to enjoy on top of the good stories.

I did think The Coroner was good but I far prefer S&H.

I have a slight crush on the guy in the coroner. Have done since he was in Touch of Frost. gutted to hear it's been cancelled.

Can't feel the same way about Mark Benton

Worth noting that my recorder stops recording Shakespeare and Hathaway after 5 mins. It's a digital protest I think

We’ve been to nearly all the locations! Can’t watch it without shouting “the butterfly farm!” and “Coughton Court!”

Bingeing on the weeks recordings. Is it my imagination or does DI Marlowe fancy Frank?

Ohhh Judas I haven't seen her fancying himbut tbh l may have missed it though will watch and see.
I prefer S & H to the coroner though , the clothes in the Coroner are just awful and I don't like her mum or the mum's BF .... being picky
Thank you DMC I will have a look for Frankie Drake too

Sorry fancy is too flippant. I meant, possibly, she might be a teeny bit in love with him? Could be wrong.

ohhh I will watch very carefully next Monday for signs of this. Do you think the character loves him or the actress in RL cannot hide her feelings even though she is on the job sts.

The Coroners mother’s house though.......dreamy! Can’t say I noticed the clothes much, too busy looking at the gorgeous scenery! The South Hams where it was filmed is beautiful.

no, I definitely meant the character!

I think Marlowe is a bit of an unwilling Shakespeare fan girl maybe?

I never got into The Coroner, but love Father Brown. I got a bit worked up because I thought they'd only screened one episode of the latest series before returning the repeats, but looking at the whole series episodes guide, I think I actually saw them all

So anyway, am finding Shakespeare and Hathaway equally entertaining and have extended my lunch break to fit it in

Watched the first episode last night and really enjoyed it. I'm also surprised it's not on prime time tv.

We've watched them on Catch Up with the kids and really enjoyed them. Hoping that the latest series of Australian dramas Dr Blake and A Place to Call Home will be on UK TV soon.

I’m enjoying

Simple drama /comedy /murder

I'm loving it. Didn't realise it was on in the afternoons - I've been watching on 'Catch up'.
It's my new 'Death in Paradise'

Brilliant! Morgana Robinson doing her Windsor’s ‘Pippa Middleton’ voice!

I love the Peppaaaaaah Middleton character in The Windsors and Eugenie and Beatrice too. They're my favourites.

Also loving Lou's casual photographic memory.

Backforgood - the Death In Paradise is a good,comparison. Ie a gentle, murder mystery drama, if you can call murder gentle.

Shakepeare and Hathaway doesn't take itself too seriously, which is why I prefer it to The Coroner.

The way the characters are drawn in the Stratford show makes me think of Doc Martin, even the opening theme is similar. I like that there's a mother and son chemistry between the two main characters, she has the brains and he really is an appalling slob!

Some great older women actors in it, haven't seen Sheila Steafel for ages. Sebastian is my favourite, although I'm barking up the wrong tree, obvs.

Noooooo! Coroner wins hands down!

Another one enjoying this. To be it seems a cross between Midsomer Murders and Rosemary and Thyme.

Really want to go to Stratford upon Avon now. Didn't realise it was as Olde Worlde as it appears to be in the show. Is it really like this?
