Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators was one of the BBC’s biggest daytime triumphs in years, picking up impressive viewing figures and becoming the best-performing BBC Daytime content on iPlayer in history.
Mark Benton and Jo Joyner’s comedy drama is now back for more, with Frank Hathaway and Luella Shakespeare taking on ten new mysteries in series two.
What is Shakespeare & Hathaway about?
Shakespeare and Hathaway Series 2 - ep 1 - Outrageous Fortune
Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators is a comedy drama set in the Bard’s birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, where ex-detective Frank Hathaway (Mark Benton) and his business partner Luella Shakespeare (Jo Joyner) run an unorthodox but highly-successful private detective service.
Their only employee is Sebastian Brudenell (Patrick Walshe McBride), a young aspiring actor with a particular talent for working undercover. Sebastian lives above a theatre costumier, run by an older lady called Gloria Fonteyn (Roberta Taylor) who is always happy to help.
Luella Shakespeare and Frank Hathaway first met at the very beginning of series one when hairdresser Luella hired debt-laden PI Frank to investigate her fiancé and – in a terrible turn of events – ended up being accused by the police of his murder. She worked with Frank to clear her name, and by the end of the first episode she had bought into his business and become a partner in their joint detective agency.
Since then they’ve taken on a new case in each episode, and it looks like we have some brilliant mysteries coming up in series two.
Shakespeare and Hathaway will be tasked with tracking down a pampered billionaire dog called Tim, and once they’ve solved that case they’ll be drawn into the middle of the action when a fantasy battle in the woods goes badly wrong. We’ll also see sisters at war on a psychic TV programme, the disappearance of an Eastern European oligarch, an episode set in a casino, and even an episode where the two PIs are framed by their own doppelgängers.
Jo Joyner reckons part of the show’s success is “the balance of the buddy friendship that these two have rather than it all just being a serious murder and doom and gloom,” while Mark Benton adds: “Sometimes there’s so much dark drama, so much heavy stuff – which is great and wonderful –but sometimes I think people do want to just sit down and enjoy something.”
