Ben Elton is to write a six-part comedy for BBC2 about William Shakespeare, starring David Mitchell as Shakespeare and Harry Enfield as his father.
I rather hope someone else wrote this 'quote' from BBC2 Controller Kim Shillinglaw - or that it came from a BBC TV buzz-word generator. My underlining...
"Attracting the very best creatives to BBC Two to do their most signature work is exactly what I want the channel to do and so I’m thrilled that talent of the calibre of Ben Elton, David Mitchell and Harry Enfield are bringing us this wonderfully witty new show. Comedy has always been part of BBC Two’s DNA and this extraordinarily inventive new series will be a central part of BBC Two's Shakespeare celebrations next year, alongside The Hollow Crown and our live show in partnership with the RSC.”
