Shakespeare & Hathaway

[Mrsmadevans]

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

www.farmcottages.com/shakespeare-and-hathaway-bbc-drama/
has a bit about locations.

I haven't been to Stratford for years, but remember very clearly the contrast between a modern town and the historic buildings.

Sebastian is getting some great acting stretches today

I'm also loving it especially as a lot of it was filmed in the market town where I live near Stratford. In fact one scene was filmed right outside my Mil house which has a little cobbled road outside it.

Thanks, Enrique! Really will have to make a trip there one day.

I just watched the first episode of The Coroner, it’s a pity they cancelled it! It’s really good too, though I do prefer Shakespeare and Hathaway.

There are small pockets of Stratford town that are quaint and tudor-esque. But it’s mostly like any normal town. And lots of S&H looks like it’s filmed in the surrounding villages anyway. Great advert for Warwickshire though.

I think Stratford is a beautiful town. Very picturesque.

Yes it is but it’s not all black and white buildings and cobbled streets. It’s mainly crippling traffic and coffee shops.

It is pretty compared to most places in the UK.

Just catching up on yesterday's. The swan chase

The Swan chase ended me

Last one on now. More please!

Ach I am it has finished it was a gem of a programme, who do we email to get a second series?

Oh no! That's it? I hope it's recommisioned. I have today's episode to watch tonight. I will miss Sebastian.

I will miss Sebastian

We all will ☺

I just know any return to tv will be in a prime time slot when the dh/dc will want something else on or when I'm already recording 3 programs and cant record any more

Stratford holds lots of lovely memories for me, it is a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting.

I don’t think Benji Wilson, the author of this article, shares our love for S and H. Everything he hates about it is what we love -the literacy detective names, the quaint old buildings, the medieval-type music. It what makes the programme what it is. Maybe everything put together is a little corny, but that’s the whole point.

Have sent feedback to the Beeb asking for more. I still have the last episode to watch, but I'll be sorry when I have as that means no more.

Oh dear don't think S&H is for Benji talk about harsh

Just read that review and it was written after the first episode. I think part of the series' charm was that you warmed to it, so he should've waited and seen more before deciding. He says

See, Sebastian's my favourite and I don't think the joke is about 'effeminancy' I think it's playing on his thespian aspirations and all the different guises he embraces. It's that they seem a hapless threesome, but all bring differing skills to the party and as an ensemble it works.

The reviewer wouldn't even know that though after one programme.
