One of the bonuses of being off work recently was having time to catch up with books, films and TV shows, one of which was 'Upstart Crow' a comedy starring David Mitchell as William Shakespeare. I'd previously caught bits of it over the years and was never that impressed with it, but I then watched a full episode when off and decided to give the first series a go, and l'm very pleased l did, despite being very late to the party, as it was very good indeed. The writing was especially excellent (by Ben Elton) and there was an obvious link to 'Black Adder' (and even 'The Young Ones), but it certainly stood on its own with the Shakespearian timeline and history, but making it accessible to proles such as l. The last episode of series 3 even bought a tear to my eye. Recommended.
