Shakespeare and Hathaway

Jo Joyner and Mark Benton will reprise their roles for series 5 of Shakespeare and Hathaway, alongside Patrick Walshe McBride (Dracula), who plays aspiring actor and perpetual understudy Sebastian Brudenell as filming is underway in the cobblestone streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon.

It’s been almost three years since we left Lu and Frank so it’s understandable that Joyner would be just a tad bit excited for the series to return. “I’m so excited to be stepping back into Luella’s bright and fluffy shoes!” said Joyner.

We have such loyal and brilliant fans who have been asking us daily if we’ll ever be back, so it’s wonderful to finally be able to say yes! I can’t wait to see Lu, Frank and Sebastian cracking more countryside crimes whilst squabbling fondly in series 5.

Equally as excited, Mark Benton added: “I’m so thrilled to be making the show again. The reaction was phenomenal and hopefully series five will be even better. I can’t wait.

YAAY one of my favourite easy-watching programmes. Thanks for the heads up 😊

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/09/2025 12:39

Yes watch from s1 @FurForksSake. It’s easy watching but that would mean 40hrs worth - but shows how met in s1

or watch s1&4 - 2&3 are just cases they take on

@Zempy excatly. Couldn’t work out why

@BakeOffRewatch it’s on u/drama which is 109 - Wed 8pm

Do you they'll do a reveal as to why they fell out? Feels like they are going to

I hope so @Tablefor4 as seems such a huge plot hole

why they just couldn’t start s5 like they did 3&4

Only thing that was distracting was Jo’s hair did looked like a wig!
Mark looks like he has lost weight and looks healthier for it.
Sebastian is still my favourite.
I’m watching again because I miss so much binge watching.
Sister Boniface is back too, god I love tv. Slow horses too, mine once it’s finished I will be cancelling Apple TV as is pretty rubbish.

We have watched the first 4 or 5 and I think this new series is much better than the last series , very enjoyable .

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2025 21:08

Yes he was very overweight in s4

I turned it in the other night, selected S and H and e fed up watching the first programme from the first series. I thought I’d selected the newest series.

I’m going to have to watch all the first four series now, before starting the fifth, aren’t I?

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2025 21:32

s1&4. just watch these

2&3 thi good is just normal murder mystery etc

but saves you 20hrs

OP posts:
BakeOffRewatch · 28/09/2025 21:35

But then @Silverbirchleaf will miss out on 20 episodes of Sebastian!

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2025 01:18

I don’t get the Sebastian love

sits on naughty step

I mean he’s ok and love his acting roles in it but that’s it

I haven’t actually seen this yet just starting it now. I think it’s too obvious to be A French man, so I’m saying the secretary

I thought Lu's hair was a wig too, maybe she was filming two things at once?

Frank is quite attractive is in this series, quite the silver fox.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/10/2025 18:41
