Chateau Impney: BBC series Shakespeare and Hathaway shooting

Shakespeare and Hathaway: Private Investigators, a BBC TV show about two Stratford-upon-Avon detectives who solve bizarre cases, has begun filming at Chateau Impney in Droitwich.

Stars like Jo Joyner, from EastEnders, Little Disasters and For Her Sins, and Early Doors actor and TV presenter Mark Benton star in the show.

It is understood that TV crews will be filming scenes at the Industrial estate at Chateau Impney before the cast move on to shoot scenes at the hotel itself.

The TV show is currently in its 5th season with the filming in Droitwich suspected to be for its sixth.

Shakespeare and Hathaway: Private Investigators is allegedly not the first show to be filmed at Chateau Impney and many reportedly saw stars from Silent Witness there last year.

It is unknown how long the show will be filming in Droitwich.
