    Six Hours is Too Long

    From this 6 hour series, resurrected from 1985, you could distil a gripping documentary lasting about 90 minutes. As it is, it plods : there are frequent re-caps, the pace is leisurely, the photography underwhelming. Wood is fine when he speaks to camera, but his voice-overs are delivered with a breathless piety that put me to sleep. The Iliad story leads to an interesting account of the Bronze Age in the Middle East, the chapter on oral poetry is illuminating, and you'll learn quite a bit about the archaeologist's trade !
