Drama: Happy Birthday Shakespeare 9.00pm BBC1
Everyone has their dreams, but some are easier to fulfil than others. Tourist-bus driver and Shakespeare fanatic Will Green (Neil Morrissey) wants to buy a rose-covered cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon, thus removing his family from their grim flat overlooking the M1 in north London. But he can't afford it. In Mark Wallington's gentle urban fable, we follow Will's attempts to break out of his life and find something better. Of course, the grass isn't always greener. Happy Birthday Shakespeare is a pleasant enough escapist fantasy, though it is too slow and episodic in parts - and Dervla Kirwan doesn't have nearly enough to do in the role of Will's wife. Part two is tomorrow night. (AG)
