Anyone watch this? I am really enjoying this, though last nights was not as good as the others I still found it quite good. Shirely Henderson is a fab wee actress - she is really tiny isn't she but bloomin' good. And Rufus Sewell was just hot, hot, hot! :wub:

And Twiggy just looked fabulous didn't she?

Ooh, I know I am looking forward to this, however I don't think Johnny Vegas will be quite as easy on the eye as Rufus Sewell!

And it's the last one tonight. :cry:

I have to confess that Midsummer.... is one of my least fave of the Shakespear plays but I am still interested to see what the Beeb has done with it!

I really enjoyed The Midsummer one, wonder which Center Parcs is was filmed in?

Seriously though I thought it was really good and I liked the guy who played Puck, but all in all the modern adaptation came out rather well!

Sharon Small looked beautiful, such a change from her scruffy image that she plays in that dectective drama with the posh bloke.

Loved it! :)

So which one did you think was the best of the four?

I liked the first one - 'Much Ado About Nothing' best....had me in giggles and allsorts!

Oh ,you know Coastie that is really a difficult choice. I loved Much Ado abut Nothing, Billie Piper was fantastic as were the chat-show hosts whose names I have forgotten. It was a fun one to watch but I really enjoyed the darkness of Macbeth and thought that it was adapted brilliantly! My least fav was probably The Taming of the Shrew as I was not sure of the original story but thought the acting again was fantastic and Rufus Sewell just stole the show in his stockings, stilletoes and eyeliner. And I loved the tranquilness story of the real-world and the fairy-world in A Mid Summer's Night Dream - I really don't think I could chose a favourite as I loved them all! Well Done to the Beeb for once again pulling a wee cracker out of the bag!

While watching Harry Potter on Saturday, I just realised where I had seen Shirley Henderson before (The Taming of The Shrew) - she was Moaning Myrtle!

She was also in Hamish Macbeth!

I never did watch this - it's probably on a tape somewhere. If only I had had Sky+ back then ........................
