Sadly Over-hyped

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Please let there be a series 2!
I absolutely adore this show and have seen all the episodes. :)

The first episode was merely to pass the time but I fell in love. With cute Shakespearean references the show gives the feeling of comfort one bizarrely finds in murder mysteries. Already suggested the show to many friends and appear to have single handedly buikt a fan base of people realising the shows genius.

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!

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.
