Really Very Good

Thomas Clelland from Motherwell, Scotland, 7th July, 2005

I live in Scotland and can't remember it being on, maybe it was only shown in England. However, this was one of the best BBC series I have watched. It searched out for the most famous places and people of ancient times and actually found some of them. The last episode about King Arthur and Camelot was the best of the series.

Customer Review

A Customer from UK, 23rd June, 2008

With subject matter and locations that beg discovery, these documentaries are full of fascinating stories, unknown facts and rarely seen locations. It would be very easy to fall foul of patronising or unimaginative handling of these legends but the scripts are carefully crafted works of art that take you on a rollercoaster journey of discovery.

These are must-see gems. You will be talking about them for weeks after viewing them. A nice break from the popcorn fluff of modern movie making.

My Favourite History Teacher

A Customer from Buckinghamshire, 22nd April, 2008

A very interesting series of programmes. One I missed when it was on television, but well worth a watch. I wish I had had a history teacher like Michael Wood, he just seems to bring it to life with such care and enthusiasm for his subject. I found the Shangrila episode particularly interesting and moving.

Just wonder-full!

A Customer from Old Warden, 30th September, 2009

This was such a wonder-full couple of hours of viewing. Highly recommended. The narrator strikes just the right balance between the 'facts; and the spiritual meaning of the extra-ordinary journeys he shares with us. A total delight - inspiring, poetic and low-key. THE BEST !!
