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.

I was pleased to see it return but it does feel that they've upped the irritating 'humour'. But worse, is the change in dynamic between Frank and Lu. No explanation for the break up of the business and yet it was an event that has driven changes in the relationship between the main protagonists. All a bit irritating and OTT.

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/10/2025 01:23

I def want to know why they broke up

I'm three or four episodes in, and extremely disappointed with this series. It just feels rushed and like no effort has gone in to it.

I also thought I must have missed something with the split between them, but then there have always been non-sequiturs like Luella suddenly having a sister, who was never mentioned in the first episode (wedding) or the tennis club one with her mum.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/11/2025 15:48

I keep saying it. Wish they would say why they split /argued

I watched E7 last night. Thought it was the best one so far of this series. DH asked if DS Joe Keeler was modelled on Officer Crabtree from Allo Allo. There was certainly something different about his hairstyle and maybe moustache.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/11/2025 21:22

E9

daughter of a horror director doesn’t know if her dad has lost his mind as being terrorised by his own creations

I've now watched episode 9 and the reason for the split is mentioned, but it's in passing and insignificant. I can't think why it it was necessary to put it it at all. Either the split or the odd reason. Unless I've missed something somewhere elsewhere?

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/11/2025 19:42

10 tonight and last one

I’m behind as Havant seen e9 last week
