Thanks visualops for those other sources, my search last night turned up nothing. For a long, long time, the bias against the historicity of Homer (which actually grew stronger in some places after Schliemann) led to fiascos such as, never looking in an obvious place for the remains of the "Agamemnon" palace when it was determined that very little remained at the summit of that hill.

English Broadcasting at its peak. They’ve fallen way below standards these days.

Even then he was toeing the PC line, but he's still probably the best at what he does, and I doubt that anyone, ever, has made as many documentaries as he has, and many of them were not about well-known topics or historic figures. His Aethelstan documentary is excellent, for example.

Great series. He did an outstanding series of Alexander the Great as well.
I can’t imagine why it hasn’t shown up again on TV.
