So to sum up, I'm invoking my right to be 'GLORIOUSLY WRONG ON THE INTERNET' and you should all go and check out the hosts of Shaketube, and their wonderful Booktube event discussing a selection of the works of Shakespeare in September.

Sadly the 'Romeo and Juliet' I watched is presented on CBC's Gem platform so is only available to folks in Canada, sorry:
gem.cbc.ca/media/stratford-presents/episode-9/38e815a-010a5de087b

But the "Much Ado About Nothing" I watched is on Youtube! And is excellent production by the Royal Shakespeare Company (don't ask how long it will be up though):
