Trivia
Billy's line "Just call him 'The Scottish Chef'" is a sly reference to the superstition in the theatre that it is bad luck to mention the title "Macbeth" - instead it is usually referred to euphemistically as "The Scottish Play".

Quotes
[Malcolm unwittingly makes a faux pas by mentioning the name of TV chef Gordon Ramsay]
Joe Macbeth: If I make a mistake, it hurts me. Do you understand that? I mean, actual physical pain.
Malcolm: That's very 'Gordon Ramsay'.
[stunned silence]
Roddy Maloney: We don't use that name in this kitchen. Didn't your father tell you?
Billy: It's bad luck to say it out loud. Just call him 'The Scottish Chef'.

Shakespeare Re-Told: "Macbeth"

I thought it was great.

I am studying "Macbeth" at the present and this has helped me to understand the play better.

Even though it wasn't exactly as I thought it would be, I liked the idea of the three "Witches" a.k.a bin men. They provided the much needed humour in the dramatisation of one of Shakespeare's most famous works.

Watching the programme has helped me raise my grade from a c- to an a-!!

I enjoyed it immensely!!
