Thanks for the heas-up, though I saw this post a little to late...

Was it any good ?

Errr.... not really , no.

Too much in the mould of most modern documentaries, filled out with "reconstructions" and 12 man battles scenes.

A TV show can only do so much with a limited budget

I thought if I close my eyes it would have made good radio.

The whole people in a modern context speaking in the first person for Caesar and Vercingetorix didn't work for me. Binoculars and Peugeots were kind of an immersion killer.

Thought that Rome drama series they previewed looks good though.
