I can't keep up.

1864, magicians thing - "Jonathon Porritt and the temple of Doom" or whatever it's called, Joan of Arc, Eastenders does 1588 and tonight, women in the War of the Roses.

Keep it up BBC! Keep it up! Jolly good stuff all!

I enjoyed the Joan of Arc too.

Joan of Arc was very interesting, and we still have The Last Kingdom to look forward to.

I haven't heard of half these programs. Time to investigate iPlayer me thinks

toxicpixie · 28 May 2015, 09:53:03 AM

I managed to slip in episode 3 & 4 of "1864" this week, really really good! One advantage to a horrible sick bug that's afflicted Toxic Towers is less fighting over the remote

Tonight at 21:00 on BBC4 "Last Journey of Magna Carta King". On BBC4 "Rome's Invisible City."

Thank goodness for iPlayer!

Techno · 01 June 2015, 09:30:51 PM

I watched 'Rome's Invisible City'. (On Beeb 2 in Wales).......I found it fascinating.

But then, I AM an ignorant numpty, as far as most history is concerned

I opted for good old King John.

Excellent program on the death of a king who may not have been all that bad.

Oooh! On Monday the BBC have a program with Victoria Coren

(She'll never be Coren-Mitchell to me!) Don't know what it's about, but I shall be watching.

Thoroughly enjoying Mr Strange. Marc warren's a fab actor, bit typecast, but nonetheless a very convincing bad guy!

What we need now is an army list for Napoleonic Peninsula Warband.....

He is the bad guy?

It's all gone a bit Strange!

Turns out Ms Pixie did want to see it. I caught ten mins and it looked good, she reckons it was cracking. Her folks were unimpressed or just very confused, not sure which...

Hoping I can catch episode five & six of 1864 next week when we're back off hols...

1864 seems to have gone a bit strange too - Johan seems to be a refugee from Mr Norrell and Mr Strange, doing wizardry in all directions - makes you wonder how the Prussians won!

. Oh, and still no Austrians in sight.

PS Is Dinesen Denmark's Audie Murphy or Richard Sharpe?

toxicpixie · 02 June 2015, 12:57:53 PM

There were Austrians in number four! Well, there was being on the receiving end of a rocket barrage, which I assumed was being fired from an Austrian rocket battery

Well, the BBC has upped it's game!
