I haven't seen it yet, and I'm not sure if I will, as by the time I come back from holiday, it'll probably be gone from our screens.
Thanks for this review - I fell in love as a child with the BBC version from the 1970s (and with Marcus!) so I'm not sure if I want to have the wonderful memories tainted by the new version. (The 'original' probably has a lot to answer for!)
A lot of the reviews I'm getting verge on the negative, so I don't think I'll be going out of my way to catch it. The thought of Romans with American accents kind of turns me off, too, though it's an interesting comparison between Ancient Rome & modern America in terms of imperialism, etc.
