Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators (TV Series) Nothing Will Come of Nothing (2019) User Reviews

Over the top, but plenty of fun.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 8/10 · 30 January 2020]

Handsome Italian Lothario Lorenzo goes missing, leaving behind a wide and unborn child. Frank and Lu are called in by Eva, Lorenzo's hard working other half.

I really enjoyed this one, the show is at its best when it's a little bit eccentric, and this one certainly is, the characters are nuts, I loved Annette Badland as one of the sisters, I bet she had enormous fun in that outfit.

It has a definite kitsch charm, and the casino setting adds to the atmosphere. Sebastian was ok good form here too.

Loved it. 8/10

Tales of the Unexpected

[safenoe · 9/10 · 15 September 2020]

You can imagine Roald Dahl penning the script for this as a lost episode of Tales of the Unexpected. The ending was quite spooky and deadly, kind of like the US series Tales from the Darkside. The ending was a real twist, just like the roulette wheel. I'm really like Shakespeare and Hathaway, and it reminds me of The Coroner (coincidentally the theme song for both series is composed by Debbie Wiseman).

Nothing Will Come of Nothing

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 10 June 2019]

Lorenzo Foyle a constant gambler and lothario has gone missing.

His pregnant wife Ava consults Frank and Luella. She worries that Lorenzo might had gone over his head with his gambling addiction.

They visit a casino run by two eccentric sisters, Queenie King and Rose King.

Frank and Luella think that there are enough suspects in the casino who might be involved in Lorenzo's disappearance over his gambling debts.

There are some gruesome bits to th episode as well as references to The Merchant of Venice. A pound of flesh as a pig's heart is sent in the post.

The mystery was diverting but not as enthralling. I had a fair idea who might had been involved in Lorenzo's fate. I did like how Annette Badland was dressed.
