Mary Beard "Meet the Romans", BBC2 9pm today Tues 17 April 2012

[Steve F]

Start of a new documentary series about everyday Roman life, presented by someone who actually knows the subject inside out rather than someone photogenic.

Sounds interesting, a pity I won't be able to see it.

Surely it would get to DVD eventually!

Mary Beard... what an unfortunate name.

Recording this series on my Virgin+. Will watch it in a few weeks time when I have the whol elot to run through. I like Mary, she does not usually try to glam things up (although the producers might a bit). One of the top Roman experts in the country. Got a few of her books and studied her stuff at Uni.
