"Hot and steamy as a fresh cow pat in a frosty meadow", lmao, that line killed me. Bianca is the shrewd one actually. Cunning, devious, selfish and evil.

Hang on, is ‘Kate’ played by the same person who was ‘Bob/Kate’ in Blackadder?

@jamesvenables6202 Год назад

No way. Blackadder Goes Forth was from 1989. The actor who played "Bob" would have been in her 50's when Upstart Crow was filmed.

No, but she did play Yara Greyjoy in Game of Thrones and Columbina in a terrific episode of Inside Number 9

@suebursztynski2530 Год назад

She did appear in an episode, as a judge, a woman disguised as a man. Kate, who is also in male clothes to defend Shakespeare, realises Judge Robert is a woman, when she gets out a salad for lunch. She admits to it and ends by saying, “Call me Bob.” You would only get this if you have seen a Blackadder, of course.

@eliasaltenberg Год назад

My English teacher in high school wanted us to write about how Catherine was Shakespeare's idea of a modern day woman. Sort of perplexed then and to this day. She was openly very political as very left leaning, and also based upon this project she had us do, not very bright.

@Zigidy 6 месяцев назад

Listen: Male. Show. Venice. Star. Soul. Find me a better joke line that challenges the sexes. I dare you.

@brocktoon8 Год назад

The people who made this and who are commenting clearly have not read any or much Shakespeare. Shakespeare is actually one of the least sexist writers to ever live. His female characters are as full and rich as his male characters and played equally central roles in his plays. So this is bollocks.

@gerardjagroo Год назад

The Taming of the Shrew is super sexist. I understand it was a different time and I'm not one of those fanatics who would go for boycotts and book burning, but anyone who tries to defend the Taming of the Shrew in this day and age already lost all legitimacy.

@Trucmuch Год назад

Actually, this show was made by and for people who know Shakespeare's work quite well. They are many jokes you'd miss without a good knowledge of Shakespeare. And The Taming of the Shrew is super sexist. It doesn't mean the rest of Shakespeare's work is. And one could argue that, as a whole, Shakespeare is less sexist than his time. It's obvious from the series that the authors have a deep respect for Shakespeare. But you're allowed to make fun of your heroes. It's healthy.

@Eudaimonia88 Год назад

@@Trucmuch Couldn't agree more!

@hectorpascal Год назад

You certainly need more than a passing acquaintance with Shakespeare's works, and the language and history of his time, to FULLY appreciate Ben Elton's dialogue. So much so that I am quite surprised the idea ever got funded by the new, populist, cash-strapped BBC. But casting Mitchell as Will was a masterstroke - as is the use of the very appropriate west Midlands accents. The canned laughter track is the worst aspect of the production. Did they believe that an average studio audience would not have the intelligence to understand and laugh in the right places?

@cathdodd5072 Год назад

@hectorpascal actually I think they understand Master Shakespeare rather well. And his audience: both Elizabethan and modern day. There is no doubt he is one of the best writers and possibly the best playwright in history - period. His insight into the human condition: unmatched. But The Taming of the Shrew, Othello and the Merchant of Venice don't fit with our modern-day sensibilities and he *shouldn't* have to match late 20th and 21st Century liberal ideals.
