Love is Not Love
- Synopsis
- Television sitcom in six parts, written by Ben Elton and David Mitchell, following Shakespeare as he tries to make a name for himself and juggle the work-life balance. In this episode, Will has completed his final sonnet and senses literary immortality just around the corner. But will the fair youth and the dark lady like them as much as he hopes? And is Anne likely to be impressed that her husband’s 154 hot new love poems don’t contain much about her?
