Beware the Ides of March
Prismark1021 March 2019
Two rival sisters put up with each other as they front a psychic television shows.

When Julienne Fortby is injured in an onsite accident she calls in to see Frank and Lu.

Frank thinks all these psychics are fakes but Lu shows him that she might have a gift.

The case takes a turn when an elderly woman in the audience had earlier denounced Julienne and her sister Marcia as fakes. She accused them of using radio mikes to convey information and fleece the vulnerable.

This is another frothy episode made more enjoyable with Sebastian suddenly being hypnotised to become a football lout. He certainly seems to steal the scenes he is in.

The pair are called in to investigate some strange goings on on the scene of a psychic act, hosted by sisters Marcia and Julienne.

It's a fairly imaginative story, it is quite easy to guess who it is, as there are a limited number of characters. Of course there is lots of humour, most of the moments coming from Sebastian's football chanting.

A great cast, Sian Reeves and Janet Finley, Joe Sims was excellent, love his wonderful Bristolian accent, fabulous.

6/10

I am a big fan of Shakespeare and Hathaway, and I think it really found its groove in the second half of season two onwards. Shakespeare and Hathaway is ahead of its time, particularly in its treatment of interracial relationships. Here Marcia Fortby (Sian Reeves) is in a relationship with Scott Blacksell (played by Nav Sidhu).

I can never tire of Debbie Wiseman's whimsically delightful theme.

With this episode, it kind of ended with a bit of a lull.
