I Know Thee Not, Old Man
Prismark1027 September 2017
Kit and Greene are hunting for Catholics, well mainly Greene who is hoping that Will might be taking communion on the side.

Will ends up providing shelter to his former school teacher Simon Hunt even though Will has nightmares of this terrifying teacher. However Hunt puts the Shakespeare family in danger as he practises Catholicism.

Ben Elton used Henry V as inspiration for this episode but it really was a satirical look at all that has happened in the present day. Megalomaniacs getting elected while spreading fake news, religious schisms turning violent on each other, paranoia on transport when someone starts to speak in a different language.

The best bit was the two Gertrudes one who wanted to confess her sins to the priest and the other a slapper for Kit who Will apparently mixes up.
