The play was one of the last works to be recorded for the BBC Television Shakespeare project, broadcast in 1985. The production set events in the eighteenth century, the costumes and sets being modeled on the paintings of Jean-Antoine Watteau. This was the only instance in the project of a work set in a period after Shakespeare's death. The play is featured in an episode of the British TV show, "Doctor Who". The episode, entitled "The Shakespeare Code" focuses on Shakespeare himself and a hypothetical follow-up play, "Love's Labour's Won", whose final scene is used as a portal for alien witches to invade Earth. All copies of this play disappear along with the witches.
