Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  From the creators of the BBC's Horrible Histories, comes Bill, a re-imagination of Shakespeare's 'lost years'. When terrible lute player and general layabout 'Bill' Shakespeare leaves his hometown to pursue his fortunes in London, he finds himself caught in a conspiracy to assassinate the Queen. With the Spanish delegates at court plotting to kill her, Queen Elizabeth demands that a play be performed for her. Bill sees his chance to shine, and he'd better - because if the play isn't good, she'll have his head chopped off.

Mathew Baynton stars as William 'Bill' Shakespeare in this drama written by Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond. Set during the early years of Shakespeare's life, the story follows his journey from being an unknown lute player from Stratford-upon-Avon to becoming a renowned playwright in London. As the struggling musician leaves his family and friends behind to travel to the big city, he hopes that his dreams of finding his true calling will finally become a reality. The cast also includes Martha Howe-Douglas as Anne Hathaway, Helen McCrory as Queen Elizabeth I and Damian Lewis as Sir Richard Hawkins.
