1066: The Battle For Middle Earth

Tuesday, 19th May 2009
9pm to 10:30pm
Channel4
Part 2 of 2

It's the most famous date in British history: but what was it like for the people caught up in its catastrophic events? In this innovative blend of historical drama and original source material, director Justin Hardy re-imagines the story of this decisive year, not from the saddles of kings and conquerors, but through the eyes of the ordinary men who fought on their behalf.

I'm going to hold my hands up here and say that I've changed my opinion of this show. when I wrote the description for the first part I had watched about 25 minutes of it - typically enough for an encoder and/or a critic to get a sense of what it is that they need to do. Since then I've watched the rest of part 1 and much of this, part 2; and I find myself really rather enjoying it. It isn't going to be to everyone's tastes, but in a repetitive head-bashing-in sort of a way - which is exactly what Anglo-Saxon history is full of - it definitely hits the mark.

And another thing, the "Middle Earth" title is not a rip off from Tolkien to reel in the punters. It's Tolkien, who after all was a professor of Anglo Saxon history, who's ripping off 1066 to supply names for his Orcs and what-not.
