I live in Scotland and can't remember it being on, maybe it was only shown in England. However, this was one of the best BBC series I have watched. It searched out for the most famous places and people of ancient times and actually found some of them. The last episode about King Arthur and Camelot was the best of the series.
This is an enjoyable and well-produced documentary series. Each episode takes an established myth or legend and uses it as the basis for an epic journey.
The end result is part travel documentary, part history documentary and perfect for the armchair explorer. The series benefits from beautiful locations and excellent photography - worth a look if you missed it on TV.
