Simply brilliant!

After being introduced to this series shortly after it came out I've taped this and shown the entire series to two women, who also loved it.

Of course this was a natural for me after studying Latin for five years (but classical Latin literature pretty much ends with Virgil and the early Augustan age)

I'm not one who normally notices good acting, only bad acting, but Jacobi (and, really, the entire cast) was brilliant.

Sian Phillips is a portrait of pure evil

A gripping tale that will engage you to the end. The worst that can be said of this is that it is a classy soap opera.

Read the books!

score 10/10
