At the time, I'd have rated this programme a 10, but the low budget does show a bit now, compared to modern historical shows. Personally, I feel it adds to the charm! Great characters, very sincere performances. Interesting stories and a huge heart.
It actually awakened my interest in History, and how it can be so inaccurately represented and this become the accepted truth.
I remember at the time, reading an article by its creators about their determination to create a more realistic, believable world based on more recent archaeological discoveries. I think it paved the way for far more responsible programmes to be made than before. It is equally enjoyable to adults and quite young children.
I return to this again and again because it creates such an involving world.
