There really isn't anything of this calibre being made any more
Vanity Fair.. not something that I would watch but I remember that series and the quality in writing and acting was there.
Try watching its modern equivalent, Tudors... another pile of absolute tossLast edited by Spacecadet; 29 September 2008, 11:02.

Perhaps the real question is why the BBC are scheduling kids programmes in a prime-time slot.
By the way, Richard Wilson is in it with an unconvincing wig. FFS.

Maybe I'll get flamed for this but my two kids really enjoyed it, but of harmless fun and a lot better than X factor stuff

Another cliche ridden saturday night yawn fest seemingly designed to keep the Sun readership away from whatever ITV/SkyOne is showing
Should the BBC really be wasting license payers money on this crap?

It was truly awful. The only redeeming feature was my pointing out to Mrs OG every 30 seconds: 'And they wouldn't have had <insert anachronistic feature> in early post-Roman Britain'.

Trouble is, what are the BBC making for grown-ups to enjoy?
All their big-budget productions are kid's stuff (Dr Who etc.) or tiresome period dramas. All their major feature documentaries are dumbed-down beyond belief (e.g. Horizon).
I think the problem is largely that the BBC now employs 'children' who have been raised on a diet of pap in their production departments.
