Cool...actually I think it was that time of year for the last series...I know I missed it, cos I was on hol.
No, it must have been Summer time.

I suppose they wish to air it around the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death on 23 April.

Good point.

Shakespeare Festival maybe?

Here are two trailers - a short one with some HC scenes:

and a longer one about the whole BBC Shakespeare Festival:

For some reason the long BBC video doesn't work for me, but the short one does! Gosh, it looks amazing!!

I just wish I could hear his voice...

Maybe you have to switch your IP. At about 7.10 you can hear his voice.

Those brief glimpses look fantastic! Can't wait!

This intrigues me. Funny coincidence; next week in my Shakespeare class we're starting Richard III and I just got the book today, the day the trailer came out.

I can't make it work with that either... but it's weird, it never said it was because of my location; it normally would. It just says 'This content doesn't seem to be working'...

Ah well, hopefully it'll find it's way to youtube.

I can't wait to watch the actual thing!! Do we know when?

**Posted by besleybean** January 21, 2016 9:40 pm

It has been said...can't remember now.
Just know it's later than I thought.
Is it May?

**Posted by SusiGo** January 21, 2016 9:47 pm

April. No exact date yet.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** January 21, 2016 9:57 pm

That's soon!

(Yes being a Sherlockian has altered my perspective of waiting time lol)

**Posted by SusiGo** January 22, 2016 7:14 am

Yes, but if you think that they let us wait one and a half years for the films.

**Posted by stoertebeker** January 22, 2016 7:53 am

Great, one more thing to look forward in April
