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!
Friar Bacon & Friar Bungay what a play
Quick witted and intelligent and fun
I love this. I think Gemma Whelan is excellent.
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 !
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! 😋 🦄

Ricky Gervais shaved his beard off for this performance - (hi Ricky)
Hi, Mitchell!
39:12 roasting his fellow thespians in the best Ricky Gervais tradition. Too funny.
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.
So agree, it's like torture!
Mark Heap is and always will be Dr Alan Statham. This is just an Elizabethan Dr Statham.
The only way to enjoy Shakespeare
Oikish Milking Slap...:)
Drop the laugh track
This show is to Shakespeare as 'The Sopranos' is to the American Mafia.
35:47 look, reading Poetry.....so Sensitive. .......It's upside down.
Cheeky Bottom
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.
I love the character of Kempe but it seems a lot of people really don't like him.
@@marlowemarlowe4893 Kempe is a parody of Ricky Gervais, right?
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
Ghe only thing i hated about that show was the bowl haircut guy who is just not in the least bit funny.
