Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators

Loved it - watched first two episodes back to back funny, decent plots pleased to see Mr Benton back but Well done BBC Patrick Walshe McBride - only one word BRILLIANT!

Something to relax with during these trying and boring times. Thankfully not the usual middle eastern terrorists, or gory filled murders.

Kudos to the main 3 characters, nice chemistry, except for the Sargent keeler character needs a rewrite or replaced... very annoying character .... even the most annoying, selfish person might recognize that he is being helped .... so rewrite his storyline storyline.pleeeease.

The development of the characters is surface, stories are a 'bit of fun' without a deep 'who done it'. I enjoy a mindless waltz through their cases. The hired help is the one that caries joy - strong acting, and a delight to see what he gets up to.

Love this show. Wonderful actors and beautiful locations combined with humorous script and twisty plots makes it a joy to watch . Hope for more episodes

Yes I know the title is a cliche, but then it is brimming full of quotes from the Bard himself, and it is quite fun trying to spot them all, I am sure we missed a few. If you like a harmless sex and violence free drama, this is a perfect escape. The stories are a little cliche'd and quite a lot of poetic licence is taken, but if you just sit back and watch, you are in for a treat. Yes the police are awful, even by daytime TV standards, but overall the acting is fine and the writing is just what it needs to be. It is not a 9pm programme, doesn't pretend to be, but is equally as enjoyable as Death in Paradise, Father Brown or Midsummer. More please.
