1066: The Battle For Middle Earth

This was the two part drama shown on Channel 4 on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 May depicting the momentous events of the year 1066. Unlike many such historical blood-and-guts epics it showed the battles from the viewpoint of ordinary warriors. Another virtue in my book was that it made it clear that there was nothing “rightful” about William the Bastard’s claim to the English crown.

Review of “The Devil’s Whore”

On the whole I enjoyed Channel 4’s drama set during the English Revolution, That’s right, I said Revolution, not Civil War.
