Watched the first of these last night, on the fall of Rome. Impressed, and looking forward to the other 3 in the series.

A little concerned initially about the style but it turned out to work very well (for us at least). Entertaining and learned a lot.

This month we were invited to the launch of @bbcarts new Civilisations: Rise and Fall at the BM. We met artefact stars of the show (the Aztec Codex - wow!) & saw a preview - it will be well worth a watch. BBC 2 on Monday 24th. Public service broadcasting matters…
