second series of The Hollow Crown on PBS in December

[tempestsarekind]

What's this? An announcement about Shakespeare on Great Performances? Not tucked away in the comment thread of some other random post? Not the week or the day before the first episode is set to air? My stars, has someone at PBS finally figured out that people are much likely to watch things if they tell the audience when those things will be airing?

Although that December 25 airing of the Richard III episode is going to make for some odd Christmas viewing. And I guess we'll see whether they actually advertise for it...
