The Taming of the Shrew

catherine Minola is a succesful politician, tipped for the leadership of her party. The only problem is, her awful temper has left her a 38 year old singleton, and everyone, from her party chairman to her sister, wants her to get married. Is passionate eccentric Petruchio the answer to her prayers?

Shirley Henderson, Rufus Sewell, Jaime Murray, Stephen Tompkinson, Twiggy Lawson and David Mitchell star in Sally Wainwright's updating of Shakespeare's comedy about the battle of the sexes.

Anyone watching this on bbc1? I've got high hopes of this since seeing the ads a month back

I found the Kate to be uncomfortably theatrical in her delivery - far better suited to a stage performance than an intimate contemporary television adaptation.

But this has nothing to do with TV Forum and shouldn't really be here.

Good day.

Sorry to be thick but how hasn't it? its a programme like the rest?

TV Forum is supposed to be "dedicated to the bits before, after and in-between the programmes", to quote Asa.

Threads about progamming per se is the exception rather than the rule, and tends to involve programmes like "I'm a Celebrity" because of their undoubted impact on the schedule.

You would know that if you read as vigorously as you post.
