I just watched episode seven and it definitely looks like a show I can get into. I not only loved the Octavilia/Servilia scenes, but also the whole plot surrounding Ceasar and Pompeii - I love ancient history, although I'm more familiar with the mythology than reality.

I hadn't realised it was a BBC co-production, so the fact I recognised practically all the actors from various tv shows came as a surprise, but that also means it'll be shown on the beeb very soon. So now I just have to decide if I can wait, or if I need to start downloading the earlier eps, so I know who's who.

Thanks for the heads up.
