I swear you two should work for the UK tourism board! I really appreciate the way you explain things and show us around, it makes me want to visit every time you’re out and about, so thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
. I have a request and a beseech from both of u. Gd morning madm.and sir. Joel wood. Plz read very carefully. 1. Make a video on oxford university press. 2. Survey of english usage. It is a research center of english grammar language. It is inside UCL university college London. Grammar is made in this center.. 3. Take interview of famous grammar man Raymond murphy how he writes books. Does he read any book as guide for writing books. Plzzz make a video
I have lived in stratford my whole life and have never been into the actual home, i walk past it at least once a day and now feel fulfilled like i know what it looks like 🤣
I like that you are exploring your own country. I’m sure it will make you love it all the more. Even better that you share the experience with all of us. 🥰
I loved this video! I've always wanted to know more of England and these series r gonna be great so glad you're able to get the series back on, with my 2 have Brits! Xoxo 🍾🍾🇬🇧🇬🇧
I watched this delightful display of innocent enthusiasm with growing dismay. You LOVE the works of Shakespeare, and so do I. I have loved those plays since i first started reading them abd learning to recite sections by heart, nearly seventy years ago. But from my first reading of a biography. When I was about 13, I befan to doubt that the man from Stratford, who left his older wife and three little children, and went to London to join a company of players, actually was the author of the plays published under his name. I questioned. YOU are forbidden to question, just as, in Shakespeare's day, you would have been forbidden to be Atheist, or Catholic, or Republican. You MUST NOT ask questions about where the Stratford man got his knowledge. When you visit Stratford-upon-Avon and pay for your ticket to the house proudly proclaimed as the Birthplace of William Shakespeare, you are not supposed to know the the central section was a single little house, possibly a butcher's shop, that the building to the right is brick, nut refaced, and that two more buildings to the left were acquired in the 19th century. What you are seeing is a Victorian building that has an old core, but probably no relation to Shakespeare or his family. Anne Hathaway's cottage DID at some date belong to some Hathaways. But not hers. In the 1700s, the great David Garrick visited Stratford, and found the monumebt in the church. Nothing else. Every other association with William Shakespeare, either as son of a local glove- maker, husband and father, or as the renowned Elizabethan playwright, is BOGUS. There IS ONLY the memorial, with its very strange insciption, and the gravestone with a piece of doggetel vetse that could have been written by any tradesman. David Garrick, with the local Mayor and Parish Priest, staged a Shakespeare festival, from which grew the tourist industry that you see today. You cannot trust the publicity of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. You must not be taken in, any more than you believe that the Ministry for Magic can be entered via those red telephone boxes at Westminster,. JUST ONE EXAMPLE- Some years ago, a portrait of a handsome man came up for auction. A gallery in the US owned a copy that purpirted to be Shakespeare. But they had discoveted that the baldness was an iverpaint and ut was almoat certainly an image of a certain Sir Thomas Overbury, and that sevaral versions of his portrait existed. However, the Skaespeare Birthplace Trust were offered the chance to purchase one of these paintings, presented under the name of Shakespeare. They were TOLD by historians and art historians that it was OVERBURY. No doubt. But it was a much handsomer, classier portrait that the known painting, engraving and monument.... and there was SOME evidence, based on the fraudulent adding of a bald skull to another, discounted picture .... thete was indeed UNRELUABLE evidence that the image was Shakespeare. So the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has promoted THAT image ever since, AND it is this portrait of Sir Thomas Ovetbury that YOU show at the beginning if your video, taken in by a BLATANT DECEIT by the Trust, whose integrity you are supposed to trust. I will just tell you one thing about that portrait. Overbury wears a collar of Spanish reticular needle lace. That collar is his display of enormous wealth. In modern terms, it cost as much as a Lamborghini. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust KNOW that in publishing thst image as Sgakespeare, they are promiting a lie. But we would LIKE to think of the writer of Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and the Sonnets, as handsome, wouldnt we? And the bald man with the foxy face of the Chandos portrait, just doesn't quite fill the role.
Just to add to my longish comment. 1. I do not belueve that the Stratford man was the poet. I belueve he was the broker and publishrr for the author. 2. Regardless of MY opinion, rwi issues remain 2.1 Students are nit taught that thete is doubt. This is suppressed and stydents who doubt are riduculed. Tgis us poor scgolarship. 2.2. Even if the Stratfors man was indeed the pkaywright as many chose to believe, the whole tourist industru at Stratford upon Avon is built on a series of bogus claims about the man Shakespeare and his family's association with the five properties owned by the Trust. The entire town benefits from this industry- cafes, bars, b&bs, fast food chains, hotels, brothels, transport, the church, retail stores, the huge soyuvenir industry, bookshops and the theatres. Apoligies for my typing. My sight is poor.
Joel & Lia: If you've seen "West Side Story", it is a modern interpretation of Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet". I particularly like Spielberg's 2021 movie. To me, it's perfect. Note: I visited Stratford Upon Avon in the late 80s, and I have a rubbing from Shakespeare's grave-cap at the Holy Trinity Church. Subsequently, I'm told that I should have been arrested, but I have it nevertheless.
Thanks for showing us Shakespeare's birth place, very interesting history lesson and architecture and educational as well. Like the things you got at the gift shop.
Fascinating!!! I can't wait to visit myself one day. I'm in the state of Oregon, USA where I just came back from a retreat for women veterans. There were a dozen of us, and I directed one of the events, which I called Shakespeare's Shrews. I started by reciting Williams' speech from Henry V ("But if the cause be not good..."), which showed how well Shakespeare portrayed the common soldier. Then I passed around a bag of little papers each containing a Shakespeare insult. The women would read the quote once and then again. Hilarity ensued. Especially when we used southern accents, which blend well with Elizabethan poetry and prose. One of the favorites: "Is there no military policy how virgins might blow up men?" from All's Well That Ends Well. Another from the same play which the mother of a teenager read, "You do me most insupportable vexation." She said that she would certainly use this at home. Anyway, thanks for the video.
One day I will pilgrimage there! I work with scent and recreating the scents for ideas, objects and themes within scripts. I’ve created 30+ scents based on Shakespeare. Loved this episode
LOVE this kind of content! Places that I dream of but probably will never be able to go to, but can live vicariously through my internet friends! Legendary!
Thank you Joel and Lia, for just being there. I am a young minded 67 years old, and have been pretty isolated, for the last few years, with 5 surgeries, 2 complete knee , an ablation of the heart, a septoplasty, and finally my back surgery 2 weeks ago. I thank you for being there, so, I can vicariously travel, and live my life through you.. You two are lovely. And I would be proud to have you both as my grandchildren. I'm from California, born and bred, and you have brought happiness to my life. Thank you again. Love, Catherine
Hi guys!!! Love Shakespeare! This is so great! ❤ wonderful that his birthplace has been so well preserved. Just discovered this channel (been watching your other Two Brits for awhile). Can you guys talk more about your time at RADA and what that was like?
Pretty place but wasn't really taught Shakespeare at school. Burns, absolutely and to me there's no comparison although I know burns admired Shakespeare, Shakespeare doesn't have a song that's played worldwide in different languages on 1 day. Plus we have burns day.
The first Shakespeare play I ever saw was at an all girls school in Japan. They did “Kiss Me Kate”… couldn’t understand most of it except what came out as “Kiss me cat”. Came to love Shakespeare though 💕
I was there a couple years ago and my favorite part of the Shakespeare house were the actors doing Shakespeare in the back yard, I loved it, they were so British
Awww just come across your video. We go to Stratford every year but unable to do the tourist places due to having dogs - so Thankyou for this ❤. Another subscriber btw👍
This is gonna sound like the strangest comment ever but I’m an artist and I’m drawing in a blank book I bought from the gift shop here and I’m drawing things from my visit and I’m drawing a page full of those bronze plates for the plays but I only had 10 images and 12 spaces on the page and yours is the only video with up close shots of them so I could fill the last two spots! ( all other videos only had blurry shots) so thanks very helpful haha
So glad to see you in Stratford-upon-Avon. I studied there in the 90's and even met and chatted with Prince Charles at Shakespeare's birthplace. It was a lovely place to live.
I've been there and I was surprised to see Homer Simpson there! It was a great trip to the UK from America. Homer was in a video presentation about Shakespeare.
Same! I stayed in Stratford for a couple of days during my UK solo trip in '97. Stayed in an amazing B&B and toured all the Shakespeare-related stuff. Then saw a show at the RSC. Such a lovely little town (village?)...
I went to Stratford upon Avon on a school trip in high school. I am only realizing now the corners that were cut by our chaperones. They basically showed us the outside of the house and then we went to the gift shop. All that way and we never went inside!!
Hi guys, not sure how to message you, but since you stated you liked the Qeuen and the monarchy, my thoughts r with you and there will be a lot happening these days xoxo take care xoxo
Go with the evidence. Shakespeare the poet was identified by name, by his social rank (gentleman), by his status as a servant to King James, by his profession of actor, and as being born and laid to rest in Stratford-upon-Avon. Those who think Shakespeare wasn't the actual author point to details in the plays which they claim a country boy couldn't have known, and point to plots details which they link to the biographies of this alternate candidate or that. They ignore the fact that Shakespeare was raised wealthy and had close ties to the aristocracy, and was usually adapting history or rewriting old stories and plays. His plays end up being reworked stories populated by the wealthy and the aristocracy. It was inevitable that at least some characters would have bear some vague resemblance to this toff or that. There isn't a single bit of contemporary documentary evidence that says anyone else wrote Shakespeare's works.
Loved it, I’ve missed the UK travel videos. Loved hearing about the history, I had no idea that beds were a sign of how much wealth you had. Super excited for more videos, this is going on my list of things to do when I eventually can take a trip to England!!! 🙌☺️🇬🇧❤️
Wonderful video!! We are booked to visit on Wed with a group cause our American selves were too scared to attempt driving in the UK lol. Looks so beautiful!
Next time you two need a trip and are up with Lia could you explore Derbyshire? (maybe green space too) Lia is West midlands and Derbyshire should be East midlands, maybe sot so out a the way.
Stratford such a great place to visit. It’s clean, the people are nice. If anyone is wanting to visit Stratford I’d highly recommend it. Since I work there now I’m wanting to move already. Great video guys.
Welcome Back! I joined this channel when it first started in early 2020. Had to dig towards the bottom of my subscriber list to find you. Any plans to do some unique tours like Wookie Hole, Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway or kayak the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and canal?
The first man (and second person) in England to receive a Covid vaccine was 81 year-old William Shakespeare, of Coventry. The name was and is common in the region.
I really liked the voiceovers while showing the things from the Shakespeare museum. It was informative. Maybe you can do that on your other channel when you start traveling.
So happy to see this video! Wondered if you two were still making these. Love Shakespeare & my favorite play is Much Ado about Nothing! I like your postcards! Visiting there is on my bucket list.
I’ve watched you for years and thought that this tour would never happen. I went there in 2002. A lot has changed. Also, I never saw post about why the Joel and Lia brand ended. This channel is nice. I’ll miss the other channel but I’m glad that you’re doing more tours in your own country. I was waiting for this tour for a long time.
I went to Shakespeare's birthplace years ago. One of the things I thought was so interesting was a harness type apparatus in the kitchen to put a child. It enabled them to be able to move around in a circle in the kitchen area with mom, but prevent them from wandering into the large open fireplace where the cooking happened. Picturing his mother in there making dinners with children around her stuck with me as all moms can relate.
New but I love your historical stuff! You both always are so interested so it makes us want to watch 😊 Thanks! We'll be in London at the end of the month! Hubby's birthday is Shakespeare's bday lol

Well that was a lovely tour, thank you! My community does a Shakespeare play every summer on a outdoor stage. XO from Colorado
That was lovely , and the information fascinating. Thank-you for taking us along.
Thanks so much!
Condolences to all Brits - and non-Brits - who adored QE2. Well done, to her and to all of you. 😪
I went there in the mid 80's. It looks the same.
Great info about a Great Man. Thanks guys! Fun video!!💕💕💕💕
Thanks so much for watching Angie!
7:55 "Very open plan!" haha love this! Looks like a fun experience

Awww just come across your video. We go to Stratford every year but unable to do the tourist places due to having dogs - so Thankyou for this ❤. Another subscriber btw👍
I ate at Trump's hotel in Washington DC. Someone bannered across my name, how Shakespearian

Dear Vlogr, which camera u r using?
Remarkable quality and clarity.
So glad to see you in Stratford-upon-Avon. I studied there in the 90's and even met and chatted with Prince Charles at Shakespeare's birthplace. It was a lovely place to live.
YES!!! I love Shakespeare and The UK has so much History....keep these going!! ❤️ 🇬🇧 ❤️

Still think you should do Shakespeare with that beautiful voice, Joel!
I went to Stratford upon Avon on a school trip in high school. I am only realizing now the corners that were cut by our chaperones. They basically showed us the outside of the house and then we went to the gift shop. All that way and we never went inside!!
I think I caught the second half of Othello after crashing the Curan Theater area of San Francisco in the early seventies
Hi guys, not sure how to message you, but since you stated you liked the Qeuen and the monarchy, my thoughts r with you and there will be a lot happening these days xoxo take care xoxo
Thanks! Missed the videos like this one.
Aw glad you enjoyed it!
The highlight for me was the Hamlet Burger at the Billy Shakes Stand.
“The greatest fraud played on humanity.”
“She’s the Man” is not like Twelfth Night, it IS Twelfth Night. Even all of the characters’ names are directly from the play.
Haha yeah copy pasted!!
Do you guys truly believe Shakespeare’s work were actually written by him? Or not? What do you think? I’ve read so much conflicting info.
Go with the evidence. Shakespeare the poet was identified by name, by his social rank (gentleman), by his status as a servant to King James, by his profession of actor, and as being born and laid to rest in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Those who think Shakespeare wasn't the actual author point to details in the plays which they claim a country boy couldn't have known, and point to plots details which they link to the biographies of this alternate candidate or that.

I love the new intro, much better, nice and personal but still on brand :)
Yes show more UK. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Much Ado is my favorite play
Haha Lia. You are like me. I must smell everything. It helps my memory!
Ashland Oregon suddenly comes to mind
Thank you for your really lovely video of your visit to my home town!
Thank you it was great. Love history.
Really, really loved this video! Thank you for sharing! If I could I'd hit the like button multiple times 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved it, I’ve missed the UK travel videos. Loved hearing about the history, I had no idea that beds were a sign of how much wealth you had. Super excited for more videos, this is going on my list of things to do when I eventually can take a trip to England!!! 🙌☺️🇬🇧❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah it's crazy that beds meant so much back then!
My dumb self thought yall meant the actor Anne Hathaway 😂🤦🏿♂️
😂😂😂
Wonderful video!! We are booked to visit on Wed with a group cause our American selves were too scared to attempt driving in the UK lol. Looks so beautiful!
Ooo have an amazing time!
Next time you two need a trip and are up with Lia could you explore Derbyshire? (maybe green space too) Lia is West midlands and Derbyshire should be East midlands, maybe sot so out a the way.
Yeah sounds great! We’d love to do all the UK
@@ThoseTwoBritsUK I'd love to see Derbyshire from the J&L POV. If you're up to it Back Tor and Lost Lad but maybe not in snow.
Absolutely love this video! Please do more like this, as an American truly enjoy seeing the UK. ~Cara 😊
Thanks so much Cara! Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like a bright Seattle day!!
Have you been to the Christmas shop opposite?
The Lion King is MacBeth
Oooh we are going here in 3 weeks! lovely!
Stratford such a great place to visit. It’s clean, the people are nice. If anyone is wanting to visit Stratford I’d highly recommend it. Since I work there now I’m wanting to move already. Great video guys.
This is so interesting! Thanks!!
That was great fun. When I was in high school I thought about becoming a Shakespearian actress. Always wanted to play Lady Macbeth. Never happened 😟.
Awww maybe one day haha!
For the better. She doesn't even get a proper death scene.
Welcome Back! I joined this channel when it first started in early 2020. Had to dig towards the bottom of my subscriber list to find you. Any plans to do some unique tours like Wookie Hole, Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway or kayak the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and canal?
Cool video! I wonder if there are any Shakespeare’s left? Running around in 2022 with that surname? lol! Hunt them down 🇬🇧
Apparently there are no direct descendants of William Shakespeare!!
The first man (and second person) in England to receive a Covid vaccine was 81 year-old William Shakespeare, of Coventry. The name was and is common in the region.
Loved this intro best!
Great day Clouds, Coffee, & Exploring. Great idea for postcards!
Loved that you went there. Would love to sometime and love these Old English towns.
Thanks Donnie! It was such a lovely town!
I visited there in 2016, and it was really quiet too, but we didn't get there until about 630pm, 30 minutes after all the shops closed.
So much fun watching Stratford through your eyes.

Yes! Great intro!
I’ve been there before
Cool Joel and Lia.
It was a cloudy AND rainy day when I visited 4 years ago.
Not a lot has changed then!!
Can’t wait to see Anne hathaways house, I loved her in the devil wears Prada!
haha!
Loved this video !
My hometown👍
I love this!!!!
Wish I was there
Been there, done that!
I went to Shakespeare's birthplace years ago. One of the things I thought was so interesting was a harness type apparatus in the kitchen to put a child. It enabled them to be able to move around in a circle in the kitchen area with mom, but prevent them from wandering into the large open fireplace where the cooking happened. Picturing his mother in there making dinners with children around her stuck with me as all moms can relate.
Ha - I thought you were talking about Anne Hathaway the actress. I was wondering why she had a house in the UK.
I love this, we are Canadian and met a couple from Stratford-Upon -Avon, it exciting to see the town!
I really enjoyed this video! Please do more like this!
Thanks so much Dale!
Wonderfully interesting video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the slight changes in format. I can see you two doing a tourism tv program.
Awesome video! Love that place! I admire how you made the information so easy to relate to.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!! Thank you 🤩💖
I want to go there someday looks so gorgeous!!!
It’s so beautiful!
