View in Radio Times

Including ' How to Make Notes' and ' How to Listen to Lectures '; with trips through Shakespeare-land hints on dramatic criticism, and How to Write Shakespeare's Life ' Demonstrated by members of the ' How ' Repertory Company
Written and produced by Stephen Potter
This programme describes the peculiar world which has grown up round Shakespeare and which demonstrates in fact how not to appreciate him. Learned and irrelevant notes; pedantic or by contrast ' imaginative lives; talks describing the tremendous Englishness and tremendous niceness, not so much of Shakespeare but of the speaker; one's least favourite moments in least favourite Shakespeare productions
