sgar-1 Quite a surprising gem, frequently makes me laugh out loud. Terrific cast and snappy writing. Watching it on BBC Canada I suspect it's chopped down for commercials-I'll have to keep an eye out for an uncut source.
John Ndungu I love British shows. This one is on another level. I love the laid back, slow build up and good music. Episode 3 was the bomb.
blackpeters Nearly stopped watching after a minute. If I was the taxi driver I would have driven off as soon as that dog appeared at the window.No emotions at all from the newly widowed Hathaway at the death of her husband & being cheated out of 250,000Gave up after 30 mins
ianlouisiana Afternoon television at its best.At last the BBC has found a good vehicle for the wonderful Miss J.Joyner,who has long displayed a latent talent for light comedy equal to her ability as a serious actor. Initially playing the hapless victim of a large - scale fraud who teams up with Mr M.Benton's ex -cop turned private eye to investigate the murder of her short - lived husband for which she is a prime suspect. Forget the silly names and the flimsy pretext of being based in Stratford - on - Avon,"Shakespeare and Hathaway" is very funny in its own right. An out - of work actor does dog work for them..."an out - of - work RADA actor" as he points out sotto voce and he has some good lines. The local law is represented by two of Mr Benton's former protegees who now regard him somewhat suspiciously as having gone rogue. This is a seriously difficult slot in the schedule to fill satisfactorily - previously "The Commander" threatened to succeed but failed after a promising start. If the BBC leave this one to develop it's own momentum I am hopeful that it's viewing figures will ensure it's "Doubles all - round" in the BBC bar come the end of its first season.
