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.
With subject matter and locations that beg discovery, these documentaries are full of fascinating stories, unknown facts and rarely seen locations. It would be very easy to fall foul of patronising or unimaginative handling of these legends but the scripts are carefully crafted works of art that take you on a rollercoaster journey of discovery.
These are must-see gems. You will be talking about them for weeks after viewing them. A nice break from the popcorn fluff of modern movie making.
