Now that I think of it this is a work of genius. To be able to write what is effectively what we know about someone turned into a sitcom then be able to incorporate his actual writings into the narrative, is bloody clever! ✌️

The PERFECT antidote! Thank you for this stunning gem of a series!

Absolutely A work of genius! As good S the Blackadder and the Shakespeare family and the parody of the bard is a masterpiece series !

Missed the series, but the skit on Mark Anthony's eulogy of Caesar/accusation of Brutus is fine !

I love this. I think Gemma Whelan is excellent.

This show is marvelous. it’s hilarious.
The actor playing Puck is really quite good - he’s very lively and spritely. i’ve never seen any actor play Puck anywhere near Mickey Rooney’s Puck! 😋 🦄

39:12 roasting his fellow thespians in the best Ricky Gervais tradition. Too funny.

Ricky Gervais shaved his beard off for this performance - (hi Ricky)

Best of David Mitchell as William Shakespeare from S3! | Upstart Crow | BBC Comedy Greats. why do I enjoy this clever chap...?

I spent yesterday in hospital and had to sit through BBC daytime TV.It’s hard to believe that “upstart crow “ is brought to us by the same people who think “Doctors” is watchable.Fortunately it was only on for 30 min.It’s so bad it’s like a 90’s corporate training video where they actually get the employees to act.

Friar Bacon & Friar Bungay what a play

Mark Heap is and always will be Dr Alan Statham. This is just an Elizabethan Dr Statham.

This show is to Shakespeare as 'The Sopranos' is to the American Mafia.

35:47 look, reading Sensitive. upside down.

Love the programme but could benefit from dropping the canned laughter and losing Kempe, I cringe every time he's on, otherwise it's great.

Ghe only thing i hated about that show was the bowl haircut guy who is just not in the least bit funny.
