    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! ✌️

      not only that but to have aside monologs and entire speeches IN blank verse (especially from Greene's character) is very impressive!

    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! 😋 🦄

    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.

    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.

      Much agreed about the canned laughter. It's unnecessary and lowers the quality. Kempe... yeah, not needed.

      I don’t much like Green. I know it’s all a bit ham, but he takes it to the extreme, not to mention Mark Heap seems to play the same character in whatever show he’s in.

      @marlowemarlowe4893 9 місяців тому

      Yes, Kempe is a parody of Ricky Gervais. I think it's funny and sort of satirical. A lot of Upstart Crow draws parallels between how it was in Shakespear times and how
      it is now. And Kempe was a very popular comedian when Shakespeare was alive and I think, perhaps, a bit ahead of his time just as you could say Ricky Gervais
      was, like when he wrote The Office. I do think it's an affectionate nod to Ricky Gervais. I think there is a lot of comedy created by Kempe's character. Not just
      the obvious things like his mannerisms and laugh. I think it shows how comedy will change as it does in the future. I like how the other characters look
      bemused at Kempe when he's talking as if he's on a different planet. So that's another way we get comedy from Kempe's character. He's ahead of his
      time but the other characters can't appreciate that. @@langdalepaul
