BBC Two - Upstart Crow, Series 2, Beware My Sting!

The women in Will's life are not impressed with his play about a strong woman humiliated.

Shakespearean sitcom. Will is thrilled with his new play, in which a strong woman is crushed into submission by a man. For some reason, Kate is less than impressed.

Will is thrilled with his new play The Taming of the Shrew, in which a bright and strong-minded young woman is crushed and humiliated into submission by the man in her life. But for some reason, Kate is less than impressed, and back in Stratford, Will's wife Anne isn't convinced either. Will thinks the solution is to try out a bit of 'taming' on his very stroppy teenage daughter Susannah. But it turns out what works in a play doesn't always work out quite so well when it comes to real life...
