The Plantagenets 9pm tonight BBC2

[Fenton]

Worth a watch I think

[Techno]

Think you're right Steve.
Cheers - Phil

[get2grips]

Is it docu-drama?

[Fenton]

I dont think so Gareth

Professor Robert Bartlett tells the extraordinary story of England's most dysfunctional, yet longest ruling, royal dynasty. Henry II forges a mighty empire encompassing England and much of France. His sons, Richard the Lionheart and John, then turn on their father and each other, bringing the dynasty to the edge of annihilation

[Subedai]

Looks interesting. I'm going to give it a go.

11:20 here (Scotland), apparently.

[Fenton]

well I enjoyed it, will certainly watch the next one

[Techno]

Ditto ! Did destroy a few illusions for an historical numpty like me though.

Loved it; most of it I knew but some revelations.

I think the most commonly known bits have been covered so the next two episodes should be very interesting.

B*$$%r! How is it I buy the RadioTimes every week and still end up starting all the interesting series halfway through?

iplayer it

[Fenton]

I use the freeview website...I usually see things that are on quicker using their guide

[Subedai]

I watched it. My knowledge of the English Medieval period is quite sparse so a fair whack of it was new to me. Good stuff and will definitely watch the others. The bloke's presentation and choice of backdrops is good.

[Steve J]

Will catch up on i-player this week. A few other programmes in the queue as well .
