This and the Blackadder..historical brilliance a la comedie!

[@cheyenneasiafoxe292]

There's only so far you can drag out "-ingtons" and "diddly-doo-dah."

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

I kinda have a thing for Marlowe :D or the actor who plays him, or both or? idk lol

[@FBWL-u1r]

Tim Downie ❤ I didn't realize at first that he did the voice acting for Gale from Baldur's Gate 3, although I had already seen Upstart Crow when I started playing BG3 😅 Now, whenever I watch these clips with Marlowe, I can only hear Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep 😄

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

@@FBWL-u1r I'd know his voice anywhere lol He was also in Toast of London xD

[@Valthelibrarian]

I feel the same. ❤😅

People sitting in a room: Friends? A sub-stanard sitcom indeed.

Love to know what non-brits think of this batshit take on Shakespeare.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Kiwi here and l love it. Mind you, l also love Shakespeare.

[@FBWL-u1r]

I'm from Belgium and I love it 🙂 I think it's very clever

[@nicolebrunzel6608]

This non-brit loves it.

[@TheAnxietyCloset]

American and enjoyed it a lot

[@jennaolbermann7663]

American here, I love Shakespeare and think this is very clever!

[@Robert-Downey-Syndrome]

This is terrible. I've never seen Harry Enfield be not funny. Is it canned laughter? None of his lines are even jokes.

[@Fete_Fatale]

so ...
went over your head, did it?

[@Robert-Downey-Syndrome]

@@Fete_Fataleit's possible...but I doubt it

[@Fete_Fatale]

@@Robert-Downey-Syndrome Yea right.
You're likely still stuck on LoadsaMoney, and anything that shows any sort of literary pretension has you scratching your nut(s).

[@ArchibaldBagge]

You're absolutely correct. It's awful.
