Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators

Like others, I cannot understand why this is hidden away in the afternoon schedules, it would be ideal for a Sunday evening. Nothing world changing, but excellent performances and a gentle feel make it the kind of programme that will appeal to different generations. I look forward to more.

Something to relax with during these trying and boring times. Thankfully not the usual middle eastern terrorists, or gory filled murders.

Kudos to the main 3 characters, nice chemistry, except for the Sargent keeler character needs a rewrite or replaced... very annoying character .... even the most annoying, selfish person might recognize that he is being helped .... so rewrite his storyline storyline.pleeeease.

Yes I know the title is a cliche, but then it is brimming full of quotes from the Bard himself, and it is quite fun trying to spot them all, I am sure we missed a few. If you like a harmless sex and violence free drama, this is a perfect escape. The stories are a little cliche'd and quite a lot of poetic licence is taken, but if you just sit back and watch, you are in for a treat. Yes the police are awful, even by daytime TV standards, but overall the acting is fine and the writing is just what it needs to be. It is not a 9pm programme, doesn't pretend to be, but is equally as enjoyable as Death in Paradise, Father Brown or Midsummer. More please.

The development of the characters is surface, stories are a 'bit of fun' without a deep 'who done it'. I enjoy a mindless waltz through their cases. The hired help is the one that caries joy - strong acting, and a delight to see what he gets up to.

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!
