I think most people will probably be aware that neither Hector nor Achilles gets to live* happily ever after . . .


* Assuming that they are actually following the basic storyline. I stopped watching three weeks ago.

I was hoping they would all die quickly

Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news for viewers ........ the siege lasted 10 years.

Well at least Auntie Beeb  has made a very commendable job of The City and The City. Then again, it's rather nice to see Liverpool as one of the star players in the cast.

Ah, is it Liverpool? Some of the shots looked like Brum but not quite... yeah City & the City is good, enjoyed the episode and a half I've had the opportunity to catch

[Leman]

They had to do a bit of filming in Manchester, land of the bin dippers, but most outdoor locations seem to be Liverpool - St George's Hall, Lime Street Street Station Hotel, Underground car parks, the docks - both derelict and new development (Ul Qoma).

Is it over yet? Can we come out?

[Leman]

Troy is well over. After a promising start I failed to finish watching The City and the City as it just got too depressing.

Incidentally I recently read a very pithy article on how to make one's life a little brighter - stop listening to the Today programme!

I see the lass that did the series "The eight (?) days that made Rome", is back with a series about Pompeii....I really enjoyed the 'Rome one'....so I'll be having a gander at this new offering.
Think it starts on Wednesday.

Cheers - Phil
