so, no dragons then...
but I wonder how much sex and violence the BBC will deem acceptable?
Are we talking after the water-shed or family viewing?

I hope to god and Odin that this wll be done well

[Mason]

Me too, great action and with a northumbrian hero to boot

[Captain Blood]

Sounds a lot like the Beeb is jumping onto the 'Vikings' band wagon...
Or dragon ship.

I would imagine that Sean Bean is getting a bit long in the tooth now

Maybe YOU should audition.
You already speak the lingo.

Oh hell. I wish HBO had picked this up instead of the BBC.

I really don't see the 'Game of Thrones' connection at all, nor why any journalist would associate the two.

I'm a fan of the books (and the missus will be chuffed since she is too) but I just don't trust the BBC not to ruin it, like they have with a lot of other 'family viewing' nonsenses. The best thing they made in years was 'Ripper Street' and they cancelled it!

It will probably be a dark ages version of the Musketeers

Please....No!

[gamer Mac]

Books are great, I really hope they don't waste this.

[Gibby]

I do not trust the BBC with this project. Or any station. No one will do it right.

Hopefully I will be proven wrong.

[WillieB]

Really, really , really hope they do this well.
And then afterwards do the Warlord Chronicles as well.
