Comedy starring David Mitchell as William Shakespeare. Will starts to make a name for himself in London while also trying to be a husband and father for his family in Stratford-upon-Avon.

This episode sees Will struggle to find inspiration for Romeo while at the same time having to deal with an angry actor, a very annoying house-guest and his family's not-terribly-helpful script suggestions.

well that was surreal.

a great great cast with some real comedy heavyweights, utterly shameful dogshit from elton, reminiscent of someone trying to give CPR to a freshly dug up 30 year-old cadaver, rounded off with painful canned laughter as the glitter for the turd.

and someone pretending to be david brent. seriously, what the fackity fack was that about. may as well have had a 1 minute intermission with a dancing monkey.

I pretty much agree with D style"
I thought the second episode couldn't possibly be as bad as the first, but it was.
When I heard David Mitchell was playing Shaky in a Ben Elton comedy, like most people I expected
Something special, but it's bloody awful.
As hard as DM is trying, a piss poor script can't be saved.

Having the David Brent impersonator is a very strange idea.

just watched the third episode. it's still an exhumed blackadder and the whiff of a dug up corpse wont go away, with Kit Marlowe obviously a flashheart lite, but the third episode was better than what came before.

apparently the brent/gervais thing is quite deliberate. William Kempe was the big comedy cheese of the day and Elton, the directors and the producers are keen to make people understand that through making him sound like Gervais.

Second series tonight at 8.30 on BBC2.
It might be like Blackadder, where the first series was dissapointing, but the second series was brilliant. ConfusedConfused
