The BBC will be making a second series of Ben Elton's Shakespeare sitcom Upstart Crow.

The first series ended with an unashamed nod to Elton's previous hit Blackadder when the judge presiding over a court case turned out to be a woman in a false beard played by Gabrielle Glaister, who played cross-dressing Bob in the Elton/Curtis sitcom. Her name here was Robert, but she confided in Kate (Gemma Whelan) "call me Bob."

After the credits the BBC voiceover announced that the programme will be returning for a second series.
