Let's get Saturday's stories for you. | :00:07. | :00:07. | |
Ayshah here with the build up to the FA cup semi finals, and | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
we find out when the Doctor's new companion will be revealed. | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
First, it's a big weekend for William Shakespeare fans. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
It's 400 years since the death of the country's best | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
But why should we still care about him? | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Without even knowing it, we owe quite a lot of the language we use | :00:32. | :00:44. | |
today to William Shakespeare. It's thought he came up with words like | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
excellent, gloomy and even coined the phrase batch and inch. You don't | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
have to understand all of his language. What I love about him is | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
if you get a grasp for characters, you're pretty much halfway there. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
That's happening at this school in Cheshire. They are tackling one of | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
his more complicated tragedies, Lear. | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
This class are part of the children's Shakespeare Festival. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
They are rehearsing for a big performance and some have -- has | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
never heard of William Shakespeare before now. It's just incredible how | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
long his plays have been going on for. Until about seven years old, I | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
didn't really know about, who Shakespeare was. What I find | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
impressive is the fact that he wrote around 38 plays and created 1000 | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
words. Shakespeare really neat -- made a name for himself when he | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
travelled to London. One man who knows pretty much everything about | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Shakespeare is author Michael Rosen. Across from primary school once told | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
me the thing about Shakespeare is you get to the big stuff really | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
quickly. You get his stuff like love and death and greed and jealousy and | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
hate all those big things, and you get to them really quickly. For | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
these children, the hope is, 400 years on from today everyone still | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
will be talking about Britain's best-known playwright. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Next, it's FA Cup semi-finals weekend and it's Everton | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
and Manchester United battling it out today. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Both teams have a successful history in the FA Cup, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
but the last two times they've both met in the semi-finals, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
And Doctor Who fans will have to tune into that FA Cup semi-final | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
today to find out who will be the Time Lord's new companion. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Actress and current companion Jenna Coleman is leaving | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
and the new face will be revealed live on BBC | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
That's all for now, I'll be back just after midday | :02:52. | :03:00. |
