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.
