David Mitchell appears as Britain's foremost playwright, William Shakespeare, in this new comedy depicting the life of the Bard as he juggles family life with a career in the theatre.

"I think it’s just an escape from reality for a week, whether you are watching it on TV or in the host country," said Mills in an interview earlier this week.

The BBC has unveiled a nationwide competition to find the UK’s next Eurovision entry.
The broadcaster is working with partners to ensure the selection process will draw from amateur, professional or superstar musical talent.
“This year really will be the biggest song search for Eurovision the BBC has ever undertaken,” says Guy Freeman, Editor of Special Events for the BBC.
Anyone can submit a video of their song, providing that it is sung live by the artist who would perform the song in Sweden next year.
