They are teasing it heavily on BBC shows at the moment, docu-drama style (like the Hannibal one) series about the rise and fall of Rome. No air date as yet.

| Anyone know if they are going to put the Hannibal one out on DVD? I quite enjoyed it. |

The first show is about Nero, 9 pm Thursday 21 September on BBC1. They're not being shown in chronological order - apparently someone thinks it's better to start with the notorious Nero and then jump arouund the time line. But the shows _are_ supposed to be more fact-based than the awful Rome series.
Cheers
