Upstart Crow is more accurate about Shakespeare than you might think.
Finlay Greig, i Newspaper, 18th September 2017Upstart Crow makes a quiet return on BBC2

Cecilia, The Custard TV, 12th September 2017The return of Ben Elton's Blackadder-style take on the travails of William Shakespeare with David Mitchell as the man himself. Actually, Blackadder this ain't by a long stretch, but it's likable and often clever in its satire of the bard's times. The cast is also excellent, featuring Mark Heap, Harry Enfield and Liza Tarbuck. Tonight, William invites a Prince Othello to dinner hoping to boost his claim for a coat of arms. Unintended romance ensues.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 11th September 2017TV: Upstart Crow, BBC2
Ben Elton's eloquent defence of the mainstream sitcom last month was illuminating, fascinating and persuasive. And in a way maybe it could be seen by some as an incidental pre-emptive strike against critics who might have their hatchets sharpened for the new series of Upstart Crow, Elton's popular sitcom about Shakespeare's early years starring David Mitchell. If that is the case though Elton needn't worry. The only thing he has to live with here is critics trotting out the "not-as-good-as-Blackadder" line.
