I wonder why they're televising Much Ado but not Love's Labour's Lost, given they were presented effectively as a double bill by the RSC? Is the BBC only prepared to televise Shakespeare plays that everyone has heard of?

There is talk of educational resources to tie in with the showings so maybe they are selected to tie in with exam syllabuses? What surprises me is that none of them are directed by Greg Doran or star Anthony Sher!

Cheek by Jowl have put their production of The Winter's Tale on youtube until 27 April.
One I saw in the Barbican a few years ago and look forward to revisiting.

In My Skin on BBC iPlayer is brilliant. [b I believe Jac Yarrow is in it. He’s the main reason I started watching. the whole story and subject matter is extremely gripping and it’s not what I expected at all. |

Someone on another forum said his son's school has sent an email out to all pupils inviting them to a virtual school trip to the National - they are to watch One Man Two Guvnors, and share photos of them eating ice cream etc in the interval. Nice idea!

Not so much a watch more of a listen.
Just listening to this album which has got to be the campest thing ever.
And if you are at home you can sing and dance along.
Or is that just me?

I’ve been waiting for the Complete Walk films for what seems forever, only saw a few on the day so these are a pleasant and welcome surprise.

I, Tonya has been added to Netflix if anyone hasn't seen it! A tough watch at times but I thoroughly recommend it.

[b I believe Jac Yarrow is in it. He’s the main reason I started watching. the whole story and subject matter is extremely gripping and it’s not what I expected at all. It's written by Kayleigh Llewellyn who I realised afterwards is an improviser I've seen at loads of gigs in London. I agree, a wonderful series. I've been gripped by Lennie James' Save Me Too, an astonishingly powerful character driven thriller, James is magnificent in the central role, both series are available to watch now. |

My friend recommended that I watch My Mad Fat Diary, which is on the Channel 4 website. I haven't started watching it yet but it looks good.

For me the very best things to watch online fall into two categories. First, the shows I never expected to be able to see again, like One Man Two Guvnors with James Corden and Eugenius from The Other Palace. Second the ones we mustn't mention and shouldn't really be there at all but it's very satisfying to find and watch something that would otherwise probably be gone forever but has been preserved.

Not TV, but this video is fantastic and it’s technically something to watch online
