This show is so witty and gives modern nods to the various Shakespeare conspiracies and modern problems (the ongoing commuter problems, for example). And the parody and the satirical puns!

Had Shakespeare hoisted on me in high school. At the time a lot of ughhh n groans. In retrospect, I can answer the odd Jeopardy question or two😂.

hoisted means lifted you mean foisted as in forced. good try though

Ben Elton is a genius to make Shakespeare so funny.

@joshuakohlmann9731 Ай бұрын

Shakespeare strangely never appeared in Blackadder II, apart from one quick throwaway reference. It's like he's now compensating with a whole series; and the humour owes a lot to Blackadder.

@tomhedger7013 Ай бұрын

The thing I never understood about Upstart Crow is why Ben Elton never went down the 'Shakespeare invented pantomime' route. After all he did some hilarious things with other ideas that he is supposed to have invented. He had it all there: The dame, the leading boy/girl, the charming but put upon servant, the hansom prince, the perfect villain. Plus many more. Perhaps he thought that is exactly what he was doing all the time and it was too obvious.

I think d Mitchelll is great, but I’ve never actually watched this. Not sure why? Maybe juts thought it was going to be a shite blackadder. But I’m going to catch up and watch it.

I think your gut is right about the sh*te part. Jesus, Brit comedy is god awful sometimes. Shakespeare must be doing about 10,000rpm.

It's 100% a Ricky Gervaise impression : Fans were delighted when comedian Spencer Jones, who plays the Elizabethan clown named Will Kempe on Upstart Crow, revealed that Kempe was meant as an homage to Ricky Gervais’ The Office character, David Brent.

@@numberonedad The actor who played the character said that it was Ricky Gervais. Plus, when has Stephen Merchant ever laughed like that? Watch any clip of Gervais laughing and you'll see that it's him.

The Ben Elton of the 80s would be disgusted. What on earth happened to him in the interim that he thought this was even fit to put before any actors? It's lobotomised Black Adder. So awful. How depressing.
