Lighthearted British procedural series set in Stratford-on-Avon where PIs Frank Hathaway, a rumpled ex-police detective, and hairstylist with eidetic memory Luella Shakespeare investigate crimes from a Tudor-era office, with the aid of their aspiring-actor assistant who likes to quote the other Shakespeare. It's simple-minded mystery fun with a lot of allusions to the Bard, including a local Police detective inspector named Marlowe.
