Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators

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.

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

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.

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!

A cosy detective series with a two unlikely partners (in the beginning) that gets under your skin to the extent that you may well end up by wanting more and more episodes. If it manages to keep the chemistry, and to continue having coherent scripts and a consistent plot, it may well keep on going for many seasons, like Death in Paradise. Charming setting - Stratford upon Avon - clothing and landscapes that please the eye and soothe the soul. The main characters are round (what, there is nothing wrong with that), pleasant and funny. Jo Joyner makes the role of her life so far, as Louella. It is a joyful series (pun intended), hope it will go on like this.
