Shakespeare and Hathaway review

Shakespeare & Hathaway is a decent way to spend a 45 minute sit down with a cup of tea.

Shakespeare & Hathaway review

Starring Mark Benton and Jo Joyner, the first of the 10-part series was well acted, nicely written - with decent jokes - and beautifully shot around Stratford.

David Stephenson, The Daily Express, 4th March 2018

There's plenty of slapstick, too: Benton does it well, stumbling over his own feet and mugging madly when he doesn't have a line. Fans of Midsomer Murders will settle in straight away and, with so many grim, grinding crime dramas clogging up the evening schedules, it's worth setting the recorder for this one.

Shakespeare & Hathaway review

A nice, cosy drama full of cliches.
