The upcoming season will include a guest lineup that features Jim Moir (<em>Vic and Bob\u2019s Big Night Out<\/em>), Ted Robbins (<em>Little Britain<\/em>) and Josette Simon (<em>Lewis<\/em>), among a wealth of others.<\/p>\n<p>Tamzin Outhwaite (<em>Eastenders<\/em>), Simon Williams (<em>Upstairs, Downstairs<\/em>) and Sally Lindsay (<em>Cold Call<\/em>) are also scheduled to make appearances.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway<\/em> starts on February 3 on BBC One at 2:15 p.m., and then every weekday following. The whole series will be available on BBC iPlayer on February 3.<\/p>\n<p>Moir said: \u201cIt was one of my best acting experiences of last year, working with one of my best friends Mark Benton. And my new friend Jo Joyner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outhwaite said: \u201cI absolutely loved playing the feisty tiger mum Jessica in <em>Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway<\/em>! The script was great fun and the cast is a dream to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams said: \u201cIt\u2019s not often that acting\u2019s as much fun as this. Good scripts, excellent friendly regulars, top director, and gorgeous location\u2014what\u2019s not to like?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay commented: &#8220;The most fun you can have in Stratford-upon-Avon in mid-December. Great story and lovely talented cast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robbins said: \u201cI was so delighted to be asked to appear on <em>Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway<\/em> having worked with Jo Joyner in Ackley Bridge and Mark Benton in CBBC\u2019s <em>The Slammer<\/em> before. The role of both a bingo hall caller and murder suspect was novel, to say the least, and I got to stay in Stratford-upon-Avon\u2014but I didn\u2019t manage to meet up with old William Shakespeare. All in all a \u2018<em>Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream<\/em>\u2019 of a job!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ceri Meyrick, executive producer of <em>Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway<\/em>, added: \u201cI\u2019m delighted with the array of star talent joining as guest characters this year. This series promises much more murder and mayhem, plus a hint at the past lives of both Frank and Lu as we meet Frank\u2019s old nemesis and we find out why Lu really left the hairdressing business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third season of the BBC One daytime drama Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway is set to return next month, with a raft of guest stars slated to make appearances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":12681,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[201,3659],"class_list":["post-12680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-one","tag-shakespeare-hathaway","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway Returning to BBC One - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/shakespeare-hathaway-set-to-return-to-bbc-one\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway Returning to BBC One - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The third season of the BBC One daytime drama Shakespeare &amp; Hathaway is set to return next month, with a raft of guest stars slated to make appearances.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/shakespeare-hathaway-set-to-return-to-bbc-one\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-01-27T15:14:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-01-27T15:59:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Shakespeare-and-Hathaway-BBC-One-120.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/shakespeare-hathaway-set-to-return-to-bbc-one\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/shakespeare-hathaway-set-to-return-to-bbc-one\/\",\"name\":\"Shakespeare & Hathaway Returning to BBC One - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-01-27T15:14:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-01-27T15:59:57+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/shakespeare-hathaway-set-to-return-to-bbc-one\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/shakespeare-hathaway-set-to-return-to-bbc-one\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/shakespeare-hathaway-set-to-return-to-bbc-one\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Shakespeare &#038; Hathaway Returning to BBC One\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
