Bardbrain of Britain

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

How many Antonios are there in Shakespeare's plays? What is a "wittol"? And who describes whom as a "mad-headed ape"? Britain seems to be full of Shakespeare fans who have an encyclopedic knowledge of the bard and his works. Find out the answers to all these questions and more in a one-off quiz comprising five rounds in which four Shakespeare fanatics whittled down from over applicants compete for the coveted title of King or Queen of Shakespeariana. Hosted by Robert Robinson.

Bard on the Box continues with The Shakespeare Laboratory tomorrow at 8.00 pm
