This is a genuinely funny show that actually makes me laugh out loud - quite a rare thing for comedies these days which tend to be more low- key. It has a great cast and they look as though they're really enjoying themselves, which is infectious. I'm no Shakespeare buff, so I expect some of the references pass me by, but I enjoy the ones I do get and appreciated learning something about the sonnets in episode 4.
For those complaining about 'canned laughter', the series was recorded in front of a live studio audience and it's them you can hear. You may think they're laughing at things you don't find funny, but that's a different issue.
I'm sorry there's only one more episode to go and really hope the BBC commissions a second series.
