GET set to snigger to some Shakespeare as the third series of Upstart Crow continues tonight.
The BBC Two show’s third season – penned by Ben Elton – stars Peep Show funnyman David Mitchell and here’s the lowdown on the rib-tickling programme.
What is Upstart Crow and when does it air?
A little confused by the title Upstart Crow? FYI, It’s more to do with The Bard, than birds.
This hilarious show inspired by Elizabethan playwright William Shakespeare and set from 1592, has had fans squealing with laughter with its first two series.
The third instalment of the show started on Wednesday, August 29 on BBC2 at 8.30pm.
It continues at the same time each week for six weeks.
What is an Upstart Crow?
This quirky term is a snippet from a quote, which reads: “An upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers.”
The words form part of a critique by Shakespeare’s rival, Robert Greene, in his work Groats-Worth Of Wit.
In the BBC drama, Robert Greene is played by Mark Heap.
Who stars in Upstart Crow?
Peep Show comedian David Mitchell again takes the lead with sharp quips and historical puns as William Shakespeare himself, while actress Liza Tarbuck plays his wife Anne Hathaway.
This time around, he will be joined by stand-up Harry Enfield, who plays Shakespeare’s father.
Last year, new Great British Bake Off judge Noel Fielding had made a one-off guest appearance as a Tudor songwriter.
What happened in the first series of Upstart Crow?
The action kicked off in the late 16th Century and followed Shakespeare as he penned his stage classic Romeo and Juliet.
Each episode gave a nod to a specific play and ended with William discussing the plotlines with wife Anne.
Themes of casual sexism and references to Shakespeare’s frequent journeys between London and Stratford underpinned the hilarity.

What do the cast say about Upstart Crow?
Speaking of his character, David told What’s On TV Magazine: “He’s had some success and we know he will make it but he doesn’t.
“He is up against it as there’s pressure to write more plays, his transport problems intensify, his wife Anne [Liza Tarbuck] wants him at home more and his teenage daughter Susannah [Helen Monks] wants to meet boys .
“So Will tries to help with his usual ‘disguising boys as girls’ plotting style!”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
